    Hi it sounds like things are working out, that is very positive about the swimming, and I was wondering if you have looked into your councils sports council, it could be that there is sessions for children with special needs and one to one tuition, if you cant afford the one to one, you could look at funding, there is a brilliant book that is grants for children with special needs for all sorts of sports and recreational activities.

    The local library will have a resource and available to take details so do have a look, also if you can access family fund they may help towards one to one swimming lessons too.

     

    I am so pleased that its a happier enviroment for all of you, if you need to talk about other stuff what about a councillor throw your gp or pay privately or look out for local telephone councilling.

    Hi all.

    I thought for those who remembered me (and MyWorld) I would pop by and say hello. I know ive not kept in touch, but after last time i posted i didnt feel it appropriate to do so again until things settled down a bit.

     

    But anyway, just to let you know the kids are doing ok. i've had some rough days with the home education, but equally i've had some really good positive days too.

     

    My eldest is doing an arts award at an understanding establishment. My daughter has finially accepted that she is not thick and lazy, and is progressing through her dyslexia. and 'spud' has amazed us all by comming out of his shell so much its like he is a different person. One of his main achievements to date has got to be his swimming.... when at school i had to accompany him as he would'nt use the boys changing rooms, there was so many distractions and sensory issues that he couldnt even stay afloat, and after two years the swimming teacher said she couldnt go any further - he was 'unteachable' -

    I never believed this and often suggested things to make it easier - like one to one for example - when we were told it was not possible thats when we knew we had to get him out of mainstream and into MyWorld...

     

    He now looks forward to his weekly swimming lessons, and can not only tolerate the boys changing rooms, but he can swim like a fish. I'm not saying it was easy or that it all clicked into place, but he is certainly not UNTEACHABLE.

     

    Pity no one in the education board wants to know. but we are not doing it for them are we?

     

    Any way, just a mad rant since i had 5 minutes spare. I wont mention anything else as advised before. but i do wish there was someone i could talk to about stuff - ahh well in another life maybe.

     

    take care all love to all.

    Hi all. I have become somewhat of a reculse, be it to my own mind. i cant say anything of my circumstances, i cant go anywhere see anyone or have a normal life. and i am not allowed to say anything about that either... so the details i'll appriciate are a bit hazy.. anyway i just wanted to admit, more to myself than anything that im having a bad day. i dont expect anyone to sympathise, actually i dont need sympathy i need a good hard slap. i need what life cant give me right now.. but alas its all in my mind isnt it? ....... Cos on the .outside. i'm doing just fine. :wallbash: most importantly the kids are happy. and thats what its all about isnt it? putting on a brave face each day for the sake of the people we brought into this world.

     

    i'm going now. i hope everyone else has a good day.

    I had this terrible dream that I found a briefcase completely filled with �20 notes. Having a slightly dishonest streak I took the briefcase home rather than handed it to the police. The �20 notes appeared to be genuine but were all consecutively numbered.

     

    A TV news report stated that the security services had deliberately placed 50 briefcases filled with banknotes at various strategic locations throughout the country. The banknotes had special invisible markings to identify them from ordinary banknotes. If anybody was caught spending them or trying to pay them into a bank then they would be prosecuted both for handling stolen goods belonging to the security services and using counterfeit money. The police were well informed of this as it was a national test of honesty and integrity in a time when goodwill and respect for the law had reached rock bottom.

     

    I wondered whether this was a scare story to encourage people to hand over the briefcases to the police. I then decided to examine the banknotes from the briefcase with one that I assumed was genuine using a microscope and viewing it under different light sources to see if any areas changed colour or were fluorescent. There appeared to be no visible differences.

     

    Does this mean that I dream in colour?

     

     

    I once had a dream that I was being chased by a giant green blob, kind of like in The Prisoner.

     

     

    I would say that this is evidence of you dreaming in colour... both of you. :thumbs:

    Thanks Kathryn

    Ill look that up.. but just to clarify.. the question about dreams turned into a conversation about how she sees her alphabet... i dont think the two are connected but it was interesting the way one thing brought about another. thanks for your input/ >:D<<'>

     

     

    I think the word you're looking for is synesthesia, where people perceive one sensory phenomenon in terms of another.

     

    My daughter sees words as colours and emotions as shapes, and people report many different crossovers between letters, numbers shapes and sounds . I haven't heard of it being related to dreams. I'm pretty sure I don't dream in black and white but I'm not aware of dreaming in colour either!

    Hi Everyone.

     

    I was going around the internet the other night and came across this question..... as a result ive found out my daughter sees not only her dreams in colour but also her letters and words. Im sure there is a name for it, but i cant think what it might be.. But it did inspire me to ask the question.. ...because to be honest the path of the dreams which my CON (of) SCIENCE insists on travelling each night, i must dream 'blindly' cos I havent a clue if its colour or black and white... I can clearly 'see' my dreams but never with any association to it been anything to do with my eyes.... :whistle: Does that make sense? :whistle: . but there is a really good reason for why i ask..... no doubt I'll explain that one day....
