Episode 263 Notes

3. Recognize that God’s commands are the same

1. 1. Parent’s must train children
      1. Having a special needs child doesn’t negate the responsiblity to train any more than it negates our responsibility to care for them.
         1. Our culture often believers it does (it negates our responsibility to care for them)
         2. Abortion is usually the answer
         3. Giving them away as a foster child or giving them up for adoption is another way
      2. Having a special needs child means that you have a greater responsiblity to train and care
   2. Parent’s must bring them up/nurture them
      1. Remember that you are not alone.  GET HELP

4.  Recognize that behavioral issues are to be solved with patient teaching and training

1. ODD; ADHD; ADD are quite normal and will become worse if left alone
2. A child left to himself, brings his mother to shame
