It is definitely affecting his self esteem. Even adults make unthinking comments in front of him. I continuously tell Zach God made people in all sizes and shapes. I try to make his many wonderful God-given abilites aware to him. He is very artistic and such a friendly warm person. He makes everyone he meets feel comfortable. I can not wait for the day Zach is comfortable with himself.<br />BarbNana and Papahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834508408274015242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-56172600884492656532009-04-17T19:37:00.000-06:002009-04-17T19:37:00.000-06:00That is just about the sweetest letter I've ever r...That is just about the sweetest letter I've ever read. Let me tell you, I taught 3rd grade for 8 years, and though it may not be grade level, considering his background, it is FREAKING PHENOMENAL! I had 3rd graders who were born and raised right here in good old America speaking English first and only who couldn't even come close to articulating those thoughts or writing with the transitions that he put in there. That letter is definitely something to be celebrated!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828552745708177768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-58593060168401564382009-04-17T11:44:00.000-06:002009-04-17T11:44:00.000-06:00I read this and had to comment: "I know many would...I read this and had to comment: "I know many would read his letter, look at his age and think "Wow, this kid will never make it!"."<br /><br />I'm with you... Kenny is amazing! You have every right to be so very proud of him. I was blown away by his letter. It is amazing what he has done after only 2 years of knowing English. Keep encouraging him because he will get there! You're totally right that the way our schools are structured are a barrier to him right now. And yet it looks to me, that despite all that, he is doing really well. Be proud and keep fighting for him!Maureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-34852723647970728192009-04-17T11:21:00.000-06:002009-04-17T11:21:00.000-06:00I'm glad you made it home safely and that your tri...I'm glad you made it home safely and that your trip was a happy and productive one.<br /><br />Cindy, it sounds like your children are wonderful. They are obviously a testament to your parenting skills and the love you extend.<br /><br />I wonder, I think that your boys are probably aware of how lucky and blessed they are to have you as their mother.<br /><br />I think that your tips are good for any parent, not just those of older adoptions.<br /><br />God BlessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-79368916518243457842009-04-17T09:50:00.000-06:002009-04-17T09:50:00.000-06:00You have brought tears to my eyes - well Kenny did...You have brought tears to my eyes - well Kenny did. And thank you for filling in gaps of knowledge where you really understand what these little people have to go thru when meeting thier new family and starting a completely different life. <br />And here is hoping all the documents are so efficiently done that things will move along quickly for you all, esp for 2 little girls who really need to be part of your wonderful family.<br />Love Joyce and RyanJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103468879639388287noreply@blogger.com
