Accepting that we can all contribute to others. Accepting that we all deserve to be happy in our own ways.<br /><br />Max is adorable!<br /><br />~*~*~*~*<br />I'm dedicating my blog all month long to Autism Awareness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144518378020653282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025297.post-63445207215036713872011-04-15T10:41:35.558-04:002011-04-15T10:41:35.558-04:00Beautiful PictureBeautiful PictureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025297.post-26035723764079231692011-04-14T00:31:16.827-04:002011-04-14T00:31:16.827-04:00Very thoughtful and thought-provoking, Kat.

But as you say, I think your Max and mine and other kids who may or may not be named Max can change perceptions in the circles we travel in...and blow up the stereotypes. Ka-POW! <br /><br />I also think that as parents, teaching our kids to value themselves and their accomplishments is the most critical thing we can do. Giving them the confidence to succeed on their own terms is everything. The values others place on them are, ultimately, meaningless. I have also learned, over the years, not to project my own ideas of happy or worth on my son. <br /><br />As long as our kids grow up to be happy, well, that is what matters most.
