[blparent] collecting Your Children in Crowds

[Marsha]

Hello,
Well this really depends on some variables here. But if the child is
sighted, tell them to look for you. And if they see you first then they must
come to you. Just like when we call our children we expect for them to come
to us. This would mean that they need to look for us. You could also make a
special meeting place, especially if you all are meeting this way every
single day. If the child is a certain age, you could even make it a game,
like find mommy in the crowd. Like what ever those books, where you have to
find the boy. If the child is older, maybe using a cell phone to locate them
is the easiest. The child is going to be able to see you easier if you are
using a cane or have a guide dog. Make it easy for the child to spot you. 

I hope that helps, or gives you some good ideas.
Marsha

Hello, all.
     I was wondering what methods you all use when picking up your
children from large assemblies where there is a lot of noise.  Of
course, in this type of setting, my son would not be able to hear me
calling out his name.  I usually take a little stroll around my
child's section of the room.  If he does not approach me or call out
to me, I ask someone that knows him where he is sitting.  If any of
you have other suggestions, I would greatly appreciate the
information. Thank you in advance.
