Its funny, ...Your post is all full of great advice. Its funny, because we've experienced what I would say is a quantum leap in healing in just the past year. We pulled our daughter out of first grade halfway through and home schooled and believe me when I say I am NOT gifted in that area . . . and it was torture for both of us, but soooo necessary. And now, months later, I can see the benefits as she is back in a classroom for second grade, but as I read your post so many things 'pop' off the page and let me know where we still do need to do our therapeutic parenting. The sugar, oh the sugar! I am the sugar hound with our daughter and even have to police my DH sometimes as he will give out too much! But we've made progress and it is a great idea to retrench so we don't slip too much during the holidays.peggysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855806295083870484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134242791095743131.post-47832067338220413992009-10-19T13:09:19.440-05:002009-10-19T13:09:19.440-05:00Great post.

Rather than leaving a lengthy comment here (that blogger doesn't like) I'll share our traditions and Holiday survival techniques on a blog post of my own hopefully sometime today.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444891084585965661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134242791095743131.post-49043802482667767272009-10-19T11:19:02.987-05:002009-10-19T11:19:02.987-05:00I was just thinking this this morning when I was c...I was just thinking this this morning when I was calling us out of work/school because Jupiter was awake for over three hours last night. Her birthday is this week, followed rapidly by Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Every year she worries, among other things, that she won't get any presents. And she is completely, totlally, comforted by the sweetness of candy, but she hoards it and sneaks it and hides the wrappers behind the tv. I agree with everything you've posted here..they totally need extra support during the holidays!matryoshkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159644735944561441noreply@blogger.com
