[blparent] behavior problems with our 4 year old

[Judy Jones]

Hi,

You brought up a good point I didn't think of.  Not knowing how much vision 
you guys have.  My husband and I don't have enough vision to make eye 
contact with anyone.  If you are trying to get her to start listening to you 
instead of ignoring you, you may have to get in her physical space.  Sighted 
people can have their kids look at them eye to eye.  We can't so there were 
times we would gently take their faces between our hands and get them to 
focus that way so they understand you are saying what you mean and mean what 
you say.

I don't know if any blind parent has said the following to their kid: 
Quote, "Wipe that look off your face." End-quote.  Hahahahaha.

Judy

We've tried explaining to her that she can't go to their house because
of her behavior, but I don't know if she doesn't get it or if she's
just ignoring us because she doesn't want to hear it. That's actually
what happened toight when we tried talking to her at dinner. She
totally ignored us, talked to herself and tried to change the subject.
Very frustrating! I feel like we're getting no where!
