[il-talk] child question

[Edwin]

I had the same issues with my daughter, Rob.
She was finally satisfied with one of the many reasons I gave her
 for using my cane.  The interesting part of it all was that it was the
simplest reason I ever gave her.  I didn't try to sugar coat it.  
I simply said to her, look around when we go shopping or other places and
count the people you see with glasses.  My cane does what there glasses do.
Man wow she got the concept.
Again it worked for my daughter and me but I know you will find what works
for you and her.  Thank you for trusting us so much that you put this
question on the list.  I am sure you and her will work it out.-----Original

Subject: [il-talk] child question

Hello all. As most if not all of you know, I am a guardian of a nine yearold
girl. 

Since I have come back out to Socal, and, more than likely, will be staying
here, I am spending more and more time with her. 

I am, however, incurring a problem: My daughter seems to be imbarrased about
the fact that I use a white cane. I along with my x-wife have tried to
explain to her that it is a necessity for me to use it. 

Has anyone out there come across this problem? If so, can you please help me
and give me some suggestions in how to deal with this as I will be spending
more and more time with her and in many instances, will be in the public eye
with her. 

You can email me or call me @ cell#(847)989-0768. 

Thanks.
