Hi Kirk,

Unfortunately, you can say the same thing about the general population of
kids now a days with over protective doting parents that micro manage all
aspects of their lives.  

I know my granddaughter has a terrible sense of direction because she is
driven every where she goes.  My kids walked with me every where and learned
their way around town.  Maybe this was a good thing I didn't drive.

Another positive that came out of having a blind mother was that when we
went shopping I made finding things in the store a treasure hunt made even
more exciting by adding things the kids liked like animal crackers.  I would
have them find the sugar, drink boxes etc and they were involved in
shopping.  I went shopping with my daughter in law when my granddaughter was
little and she just sat in the cart bored.  She was getting cranky so I got
her out of the cart and had her treasure hunt with me.  She was so excited
and from that day on she helped her mom shop.
