One loves vaccuum. Interesting mix. I take out the vaccuum with great ceremony and let them see me work. Those who wish to run, run. Those who wish to jump up and down in great anticipation enjoy the show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-45807077738600780822007-07-05T18:21:00.000-07:002007-07-05T18:21:00.000-07:00Wow, that's quite an amazing leap he made about th...Wow, that's quite an amazing leap he made about the vacuum.

It has been...I am an educator in the United States. It has been two years since I have had the unique pleasure of working with a student with autism. I had forgotten some of the particular reasons I enjoy working with students who can be both very surprising and very predictable. I cannot tell you the number of times that I have been completely stunned at what would cause a meltdown. I get better at predicting them and avoiding them with experience, but they still sneak up on me from time to time. However, I also enjoy the fact that once you understand what generally lies behind those meltdown moments, you can often work toward a moderate ground where you and the child are able to function. As an educator, I sometimes forget that my students must go home and that home must certainly be filled with unique challenges, just as there are those that come with school life. I have enjoyed reading through the posts on your blog, and I've come away with some valuable reminders as I look forward to another year in the classroom.edenelisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999216157285849926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-80582329279440758712007-07-04T06:15:00.000-07:002007-07-04T06:15:00.000-07:00It's true - words are so helpful.

And how easy it is just to attribute a tantrum to stubborness when really it's about the (perfectly logical!) inference that the dustbuster is an instrument of homicide!Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957626443087438904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-49662075496161817442007-07-04T06:04:00.000-07:002007-07-04T06:04:00.000-07:00Oh, how I laughed out loud at this entire post (in...Oh, how I laughed out loud at this entire post (in empathy, of course). I absolutely must announce whenever I am going to use the food processor, blender, vacuum, et.al. However, I concur that it is definitely better than when I had to use all of those items after bedtime!GClef1970https://www.blogger.com/profile/02027258605839422577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-90981479361966589362007-07-04T00:59:00.000-07:002007-07-04T00:59:00.000-07:00Hello,You've come by my place a couple of times an...Hello,<BR/><BR/>You've come by my place a couple of times and I've come over here but I'm not sure if I've commented yet.<BR/><BR/>The last few posts (the ones which I've read) have been so fascinating.

I am so thankful for two stories, I can't even tell you. <BR/><BR/>I have an adorable picture of my two kids around vacuum time, my daughter is holding her hands over my son's ears. When she heard I was going to vacuum, she rushed to him, saying, "I'll save you, Brother!" And covered his ears for the duration. :)Mary P Jones (MPJ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10251787926841410344noreply@blogger.com
