[blindkid] alternative parenting guide

[Jim Beyer]

Hi Sherry,


I don't know if there is such a book. If there was, we probably would have
all read it when our kids were toddlers as well. 
In my opinion, blind kids don't need alternative parenting techniques; they
need what all kids need...good parenting.
Our basic rule was that we would treat our daughter and hold her to the same
expectations that we had for her sighted brothers. Only if she proved beyond
any doubt that she was incapable of success in some area would we offer
assistance/accommodation.

My humble opinion
Jim

Dear listers, 

I am seeking a guide to alternative parenting skills for blind parents of
toddler aged children. Can anybody make any recommendations as to where I
can find such a guide/handbook or any on line resources? 

Your assistance is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you. 

Sherry
