Thanks. I feel better knowing that other parents are monitoring the site, too, and keeping an eye on things. I read through most of the posts. It sounds like you have four wonderful boys. Congratulations on the new baby!

Chris is our only child. We are very proud of him. He has a form of cerebral palsy, which causes him to have some limitations, but he has done well with the challenges he faces. It has been difficult for Chris to make a lot of friends, so I think this forum will help him.

Discipline has been a challenge for us. We never spanked Chris until he was about 8 years old. We couldn't bring ourselves to do it, even though we believed he needed it sometimes. We really had spoiled him. My mother-in-law finally said to me one day, "it's awful to have a child who's disabled, but it's worse to have one who's disabled and spoiled." We decided to try spanking. It was the hardest thing we ever did, but it was the right thing to do. Chris still has some behavior issues, but he is well behaved most of the time.

Thanks so much for your support.

Bev
