I know my teenage son is different because he orders extra broccoli on his vegetarian pizza. He is so conscious of animal rights that he requests no cheese in case it contains animal enzymes and he grates his own rennet-free cheese over the top. He’s been a vegetarian since he was ten. He’s now nearly fifteen. I thought his no-meat phase would last a couple of weeks at most.
He adores horses, has a part-time job cleaning out stables and he loves books. He doesn’t know how many cylinders a V8 Commodore has – nor does he care. He is so environmentally aware that his first car will be a hybrid vehicle that runs on vegetable oil. His favourite movie is “An Inconvenient Truth”.

April 17th, 2010When a Child is different or not he/she is still your child. To each his own the word “different” itself has a different meaning or connotation to different people or culture, so it does not matter, lets’ go back to basics, if my child is different no matter in what ways (the way he/she dresses, eating habits, behaviors,(unless is danger to self or others) others) he/she is still my child and I will still be the mom and love him/her as my child.

April 18th, 2010This doesn’t sound too “different.” I was expecting a post about childhood mental health problems or ASDs. Anyway, this actually sound a lot like my fiance when he was younger and a bit like myself.(I’ll I did have many friends). Sometimes it’s hard for smart, sensitive kids to “fit in” during the middle school/early secondary grades,” but as he has more exposure to older students and the kids around him are more mature, he should helpfully find his place.
