I let her watch Parent Trap the other day up in her room as a special treat and went up there to put her to bed and she had found where the mom and dad kiss and was stopping and rewinding it, watching it over and over and over and over. Then today she took this ancient photo album out that she looks at all the time and brought it to me to show me a pic of me and hubby kissing when we were dating. I didn't have any idea that is what she was always looking at in there. I haven't looked at the album in years and didn't even know there was a pic of us kissing in there. UGH. Crazy. I thought 5 year olds were supposed to think kissing was gross. :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183426821328179143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-32901851267763208072010-04-18T14:19:54.826-04:002010-04-18T14:19:54.826-04:00http://www.ccids.umaine.edu/resources/facts/facts6...http://www.ccids.umaine.edu/resources/facts/facts6_2/attachment.htm<br /><br />It's a one page fact sheet but it's one that I print out and give to adults who allow themselves to be manipulated with charm. :) You know the ones that I mean. Although some teachers refuse to see themselves in it when it's so obvious. In that case I give it to the Principle too. It's a tool for me that sometimes helps, not that I have issues that come anywhere near yours...a bad (insert uneducated savior) teacher can make life hell.cshellzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962995921020881222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-79348944604308713302010-04-18T13:32:08.877-04:002010-04-18T13:32:08.877-04:00i understand Cyr's angst about her sister. I ...i understand Cyr's angst about her sister. I had this conversation with Wonder Girl yesterday about her two older siblings. I tried to help her understand that they are not normal 10 and 9 year old big siblings, that she is not impaired like they are, that she has a hard road ahead of her just by the nature of being related to them. She took it all in stride, of course. Said "yeah, because they act like babies and even though I'm only 5, I act like I'm 7" which to wit, is true. I told her to talk to me about it anytime she needed to. <br /><br />In all of this therapy, there is still NO SUPPORT for the unimpaired/healthy siblings that are traumatized by the impaired ones. TOUGH STUFF. so very hard. Tell Cyr I said "hi" and that I send her a hug and a "happy birthday"Integrity Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196095126605205738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-46266687684089981462010-04-17T17:19:24.443-04:002010-04-17T17:19:24.443-04:00I have often wondered after reading your blog- why...I have often wondered after reading your blog- why were the kids placed together when it seems that they have an unhealthy attachment to each other. Was this not known at time of placement?<br /><br />I really admire the way you're able to handle them all, but it seems some things wouldn't be there or be as severe if they hadn't been placed together.Kikiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848190244660492116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-32420607820456227902010-04-17T11:31:56.784-04:002010-04-17T11:31:56.784-04:00My daughter also tends to obsess about movie chara...My daughter also tends to obsess about movie characters (luckily not as severely). We banned certain movies (Harry Potter and Twilight being good examples - she's obsessed with Tom Felton who'll be on Twilight next time so she <i>has</i> to see this one). Guess what movies they showed when she went in treatment centers? Why do they do that?! Hey let's just let them watch Precious and porn too- I'm sure that won't bother them. My daughter may be 13 (15 now), but emotionally she's only 4 so PG-13 movies are just not appropriate.<br /><br />I too worry for the future mates of my kids.<br /><br />Mary in TXmarythemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205319256573120866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-57202577118335743452010-04-17T10:37:08.783-04:002010-04-17T10:37:08.783-04:00May the weekend be calm and have less rage.May the weekend be calm and have less rage.stellarparenting.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975942737904876508noreply@blogger.com
