My friend just wants her story told she doesn’t want anything, she just want to save other babies. Axel and the danger of tacks Some of you may know what went... on with my son Axel. On saturday January 9th 2021 it was my oldest sons 6th birthday and they were so excited to have a party,cake,balloons and friends and ofcourse PRESENTS!! I had just finished making soso his birthday and daddy had just gotten up. So I was going to take a shower. While upstairs about to take a shower my husband my father in law and mother in law where screaming for me saying something was wrong with Axel. What could have happened is the minute it took me to go upstairs till now they were just playing. I came downstairs to see my family trying to get whatever was in his throat out. He died in his daddy's arms. The EMT's tried to bring him back. Nothing worked he was rushed to mary bridge. To find out hours and I mean hours later it felt like week's that he had found a tack. A thumb tack. Idk where he found it. It doesnt look like any I have in the homeschool room or anywhere. He had inhaled it. it puntured his lung. because of being without oxygen for so long my baby went to heaven on january 17th at 1:35 pm. I just want you all to know parents, grandparents,aunts,uncles and friends. It took a tack to take my baby from me. To wreck his entire body. So please please remove all your tacks it isnt worth it.

My daughter handed me her school progress report. Although it displayed a steady stream of positive check marks, there was one check mark standing dejectedly al...one from the rest. How am I doing, Mom? my child asked with a level of maturity that did not match the small dishevelled person gazing up at me with smudged eyeglasses that teetered on the tip of her nose. With her small finger, she pointed to her teacher’s neatly printed words next to the lone check mark. It read: "Distracted in large groups." But I already knew this. I knew this long before it was written on an official report card. Since she was a toddler, this child has offered astute observations of the world around her. After pointing out all the positives on the progress report, I told her what was written. Upon hearing the news, she gave a tiny, uncertain smile and shyly admitted, I do look around a lot. But before my child could feel one ounce of shame, one iota of failure, I came down on bended knee and looked her straight in the eye. I didn’t want her to just hear these words, I wanted her to feel them. This is what I said: Yes. You do look around a lot. You noticed Sam sitting off by himself with a skinned knee on the field trip, and you comforted him." "You noticed Banjo had a running nose, and the vet said it was a good thing we brought him in when we did." "You noticed our waitress was working really hard and suggested we leave an extra good tip. You noticed Grandpa was walking slower than the rest of us so you waited for him." "You notice the beautiful view every time we cross the bridge to go to swim practice." "And you know what? I don’t ever want you to stop noticing because that is your gift. It is your gift that you give to the world. As I watched my daughter beam with the glow of acceptance, I realized her approach to life had the power to change the world. You see, we are all just waiting for someone to noticenotice our pain, notice our scars, notice our fear, notice our joy, notice our triumphs, notice our courage. And the one who notices is a rare and beautiful gift. **** ~Rachel Macy Stafford, author of "Hands Free Life." Her author page is @TheHandsFreeRevolution on Facebook.

A great book to talk about feelings

How cool is this?

Too often when individuals with FASD are doing well, the supports and accommodations they need to be successful are taken away.
