I love the idea of an anger tool box and the things you put in it. I think you are an incredible mom, writer, and woman. I am so glad I happened to stumble on your blog from another one. I am looking forward to continuing to read your future posts.<br />God bless your family for their service to our country and God bless America!!Lorie Shewbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021526379136899314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797421634163251396.post-84471187536148597372009-07-18T21:28:41.583-04:002009-07-18T21:28:41.583-04:00That's a great idea!

Although I don't personally have this kind of parenting challenge, I've heard that can really help. If you don't already know about http://www.5minutesforspecialneeds.com/ it often has good suggestions too and seems to have a pretty good community of parents who understand invisible disabilities. I also highly recommend this book http://www.amazon.com/Parenting-Your-Highest-Calling-Eight/dp/1400074207, especially the part that talks about the myth that "your success as a parent can be measured by your child’s behavior".Mary @ Parenthoodhttp://parenthood.phibian.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797421634163251396.post-5030552646458277032009-07-16T00:57:42.339-04:002009-07-16T00:57:42.339-04:00I hate medications and I hate that our doctors pus...I hate medications and I hate that our doctors push them upon us as a way to "fix" problems instead of actually fixing them.

He's battling a disability." and it completely changed the way i saw mason...i felt horrible that i was expecting things from him that he wasn't physically capable of doing...so trust me when i say, i'm right there with ya!! i love the idea of the anger box!! i may just have to do one for mason!! and i would even add some puzzles or hands on building toys that would take his mind off things. you're a great mama! love you sis!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08661482257470326487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797421634163251396.post-50783133052158964972009-07-13T14:49:40.590-04:002009-07-13T14:49:40.590-04:00I think your box idea is a great one.
