Support AMBUCS!

Vivint is giving away $1.25 Million to charities. Help us win!

Looks like another company is jumping on the Pepsi Challenge bandwagon and giving away money to charities. Yes, it is all good, just don't be deceived that these companies are being unselfish. It gives the company publicity in the social networks while appearing like a company with heart, but many charities do benefit. So in the end everyone wins. And this time, they are using the word, "Endorse" instead of "Vote"  - guess it sounds more exciting. But vote is what you are being asked to do.

AMBUCS is in the running this time. They give adaptive tricycles to children with special needs. I have written a lot about AMBUCS because Ben is a two time recipient of one of these devices. We love it, he loves it and the more kids that can have one, the better.

Take a minute to check these sites out and endorse/ vote if you choose:

    Ambucs is awesome. Junior has a fully adapted bike which he received from them(they fully funded it). He loves his bike and when the weather is nice he rides every day.

ABC's of ABA

A few weeks ago I attended a workshop presented by a behavior therapist. As it turned out, I went to a conference on the same topic over a year ago. I will describe what I have taken away from these methods in my own words - but please take a look at the links I have provided below. After I learned about this, life with children made a lot more sense to me. Not that this is earth shattering material, but it helped me to better understand the hows, whats and whys of behavior in children, and occasionally husbands. I am in no way an expert in this - just a parent who wants to share a behavior strategy that has worked in our home. I hope to inspire others to explore it further.  Any errors in information comes from me and cannot be blamed on the presenters. Also, you may have seen ABA - Applied Behavior Analysis - connected most often with Autism - please do not let this deter you if your child is not autistic. I use these methods with all my children, none of which are labeled au
