At the same time, children need to be protected and it's sad to say that too many young children are abused in this way.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-68050608628466301012007-10-31T21:45:00.000-05:002007-10-31T21:45:00.000-05:00yuck to the "safe touch" program, and YUCK to the ...yuck to the "safe touch" program, and YUCK to the family situation.

Suffering is so hard...Your family is in my prayers. Suffering is so hard but so rewarding when you look back on it. I was just speaking to my husband about how this year has gone by, and the suffering it has included, and I was surprised that I was finally able to be grateful for the suffering I experienced. I’ve seen the growth that has emerged from it. Wow! You will get there too, in God's time.:)<BR/><BR/>About the "Safe touch class" my son last year (when he was only 1ST GRADE) came home with a note about this same class from his Catholic school. Of course my reaction is absolutely not. It's not that I plan to ignore this type of issue with my son, but I think there is also something else that must not be forgotten when considering this type of instruction to small children....their innocence, and how this class could ruin it! So very sad, and yes I too was the only parent in the ENTIRE SCHOOL that opted out of this. It's still shocking to me.Mrs. Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912991698388876915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-16228290277660926212007-10-28T13:26:00.000-05:002007-10-28T13:26:00.000-05:00Oh my 'the safe touch' programme..sounds like pois...Oh my 'the safe touch' programme..sounds like poison...will pray for your brother..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-89865941669445291942007-10-27T11:13:00.000-05:002007-10-27T11:13:00.000-05:00Prayers for you and yours.

Last year, when the program started, it was horribly botched by the DRE and many parents were upset that they were not notified the lessons were going to take place, let alone given the choice to allow or deny exposure to their children. (It doesn't help that some parents only bring their children sporadically, but that's not the point.)<BR/><BR/>I agree with your approach, even with non-autistic children. It is the parents' responsibility and I don't care for the thought of others teaching such delicate subjects. Yet another reason for me to want to homeschool.<BR/><BR/>Praying for you and your family.<BR/>God Bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-24570334802003927282007-10-26T21:33:00.000-05:002007-10-26T21:33:00.000-05:00Wow, what a week you have had!!
