[blparent] collecting Your Children in Crowds

[E. Tarr]

     Hello.  Thank you for your feedback.  My son just turned four,
and he is sighted.  I use a cane, so I am easy to find.  I tell him to
look for me, but I just wasn't sure if I was relying on his sight too
much.  However, it makes sense to do things that way in such a
setting, and I am glad to hear that other parents do the same thing.
Sometimes I tend to over analyze things when it comes to doing things
in a crowd full of sighted people, and I put so much pressure on
myself to be a "super" blind parent.  I know that I have to work on
that within myself.  Ellen Elizabeth
