[blparent] Herding cats and children?

[melissa R Green]

Buy bells that go on her shoes
when she begins to walk.  You
can also put bells on the cat.
Parenting without sight is a
great book, also finding other
blind parents.  Even the most
supportive parents will be
concerned.    I actually had
my sighted rehab counselor say
that she wouldn't bring her
child to the Montessori school
where I work because I
wouldn't see him.  She made it
a point to say she would take
him to any childcare facility
with a blind person there
because of this same thing.
You know me Darrell, But I
kept my cool and nicely
educated her.  Later, she said
I made her into a believer out
of her and I stayed calm after
she pissed me off.  Her words.
You can be hands on Darrell.
Smile.!

Warmly,
Melissa R. Green and Pj
It is 'where we are' that
should make all the
difference, whether we believe
we belong there or not.

Hello Everyone,

Our cat got out again a few
nights ago. Every time this
happens, my
in-laws question our ability
to keep track of our new child
once she
is able to walk.

It's all very discouraging...
If I can't keep a cat in the
house, how
am I going to make sure our
little girl doesn't run
outside and get
hit by a car?

I have some ideas, and I know
we'll figure it out in due
time. But,
seriously, what alternative
techniques do you employ as a
blind person
to effectively keep track of
your child at all times?

I think we need the Find My
Cat, and Find My Kid, apps.
:-)

Regards,

Darrell
