Positive comments regarding David at the conferences tonight. He still doesn’t like mathematics. Does well in reading, writing and art. Does well in PE. And then the primary teacher said “we have told David that if he doesn’t behave, they are going to call an IEP meeting with his home school in Garrison.”
Not sure we agree with that considering all of the problems we had there. And I am sure the local school doesn’t want David any where near their building.

Last week, I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a seminar called “Summit on Causal Leadership.”
It was an incredible experience to be in a setting with agencies, both state and non-profit, talking about leadership. Not just any type of leadership, but leadership that helps achieve goals for kids with special healthcare needs.
I left the meeting on Thursday with a full head of steam and a lot of ideas. Friday’s session cemented my goals.
I plan to apply for non-profit status for “Why Not Fathers”.
I plan to develop some brochures and offer my abilities to speak to differing groups of people about fatherhood.
What it takes to be a father, how to keep a marriage alive, staying involved in the lives of our kids.
See, I have this belief. This belief that “parenthood is a lifestyle choice.” More on that concept at another time.
For now, one step at a time.
I am looking for speaking opportunities. I am also looking for guest bloggers.
Fathers need to be seen as more than just a father. We need to exemplify leadership qualities for our families. Sure, I am the leader of my family, and I have my wife’s permission to say so. I am speaking at a deeper level than that.
Being a dad is about more than just donating sperm. It is about more than being the disciplinarian in the family.
I look forward to the challenge. How can I help you? By helping you, I am also helping myself.
Working on book development.
Topic is: Securing your home from within
Why? Sometimes when you have a special needs child, the parent needs to lock down part or all of the house to prevent the child from hurting themselves or others.
