Does Any1 Know How the Short Poem goes called a "Deaf Child's Prayer"?

I read it somewhere, but don%26#039;t remember where. But the last two lines went something like this:








...the only words he knew,


%26quot;a ball, a fish, a top, a shoe.%26quot;

Does Any1 Know How the Short Poem goes called a %26quot;Deaf Child%26#039;s Prayer%26quot;?
I found a poem on several sites called A Deaf Child%26#039;s Prayer, but it didn%26#039;t have your text in it.





A Deaf Child%26#039;s Prayer





Do the angels sing in Heaven, Lord?


Will I hear music there?


Or must I stand in a corner


While others join in prayer?


While I wonder what they%26#039;re saying Lord,


As oft I do down here?


Must I sit in lonely stillness


While the bells ring loud and clear?


Can I read your lips in Heaven,


Lord Will I be brushed aside,


And stick my hands in pockets


Because of wounded pride?


Will all the saints there praise thee,


While I in silence wait?


Will some one up in Heaven


Help me through the gate?





Then God, who loves the humble,


Whispered in the poor deaf ear


My child, has no one told you,


There is no silence here.


Hold out your hands, my little one,


For Heaven all to see.


We%26#039;ve heard them pray so many times,


Each prayer reached up to Me.


See, all the angels waiting.


The gates are open wide.


Your crown of life awaits you,


And I shall be your guide.


I have a song to give you,


You%26#039;ll sing both loud and clear.


And the song you sing, my dear one,


Will be the sweetest song up here.

How to talk to another mom about her child's behavior?

I got so many great reponses to my earlier question about a friend%26#039;s child who is bullying my 4 yr old daughter in preschool. Almost everyone suggested that I talk to the friend (bully%26#039;s mom) about it. How do I do that? What do I say? I%26#039;ve never been in this type of situation before, and I%26#039;m trying to think of what my reaction would be if the shoe were on the other foot, but I%26#039;m having a hard time being objective. Advice?

How to talk to another mom about her child%26#039;s behavior?
Most parents will never want to admit to you, let alone themselves, that there is anything wrong with their child that they or you should be concerned about.





Most parents think their children are %26quot;perfect angels%26quot;, and while they are out shopping , and not staying home with their children and raising them properly, they think their children can do no harm. It%26#039;s quite the contrary, isn%26#039;t it?





I am single, never been married, no kids. Every day that I am out and about someone%26#039;s child annoys me.


I have been known to go right up to that parent and say something. Because I can. Because I am a shopper, not an employee or manager of a store and afraid to offend a parent. And because they have it coming to them!





I think the best way is the direct way.


Perhaps in your case, you could present it in such a way that you are making a suggestion on how to remedy the situation, rather than criticize the parent. Your situation may be different if you have a lot of contact with these parents.





Just don%26#039;t allow your children to play with their children. You don%26#039;t want their bad behavior to rub off on your child as acceptable. Maybe they%26#039;ll get the message in that way.
Reply:The way I have handled sticky sit. is to ask the other person how they would handled it . Something Like. %26quot; W hat would you do, if your child was being bullied by a friends child?%26quot; Listen to their answer,then I would ask %26quot; How do I talk to them without making them mad? Or would they think it would be better to speak to the child? ( kindly of course) %26quot; again listen to their answer. Then I would ask them. %26quot; If it were your child would you want me to tell you?%26quot; Depending on their answers, I would either tell them nicely or I would start to keep my child away from theirs, even if that is keeping your child right by you when you are with them. If the second one is what must happen, when they ask me why, I would tell them %26quot; It was your child I was speaking to about. And it sounded to me by what you said this would be better for everyone.%26quot; If they get angery with you ,say something like, %26quot; I thought you cared also for my child, like I care about yours!%26quot; This has worked for me before in lots of sit.. Good Luck!!!!
Reply:Just be honest. Say to her something like:





Hey Insert mom;s name here, can I just talk to you quickly? You know, you son is such a cute, energetic little guy that I am worried he might intimidate my daughter a bit when they are together. Do you think you could talk to him about toning down some when playing with her? We all just want them to have good, clean, honest fun and I would hate it if he got the wrong impression. I don%26#039;t want his feelings to be hurt b/c my daughter would come across as not wanting to play with him b/c she is a little nervous and feels overwhelmed. I did tell her that all kids play differently and some more aggressive then others (and DO have that conversation with her) but it would just make me feel a lot better if you could let him know that he is a little too aggressive around my daughter -- she is the stereotypical delicate flower (Kind of laugh about it). We just love little (insert name here) and want him to have the best time.





Keep it upbeat and playful -- that you are concerned for his feelings....
Reply:Just tell the mom honestly - %26quot;I%26#039;m really uncomfortable having to bring this up, but for whatever reason my daughter feels uncomfortable with your child. (and the wording above is okay, although don%26#039;t oversell the %26quot;delicate%26quot; nature of your daughter, then the other mom might just think she is over sensitive. I think it is a little overkill, I think less is more)





But I%26#039;d also ask %26quot;Do you think we could arrange a park playdate together so they can get to know each other on a friendlier basis.%26quot;





Then see how the park playdate goes. If he continues to bully her in front of the mom, then she%26#039;ll see it and hopefully address it. If they get along great, perhaps this is the first step in solving the problem. If he bullies her and mom does nothing then you%26#039;ll have to decide how to handle it. (Personally, since I used to teach and am not afraid to correct other kids, I%26#039;d say to the boy - Johnny, Sally doesn%26#039;t like it when you do that, why don%26#039;t you....instead. After hearing that a few times hopefully mom will step up)





And do talk to your daughter and make sure she isn%26#039;t being sensitive, and that she has the skills to handle someone like that without being mean herself.





Good Luck

Write a linear eq. expressing S as a function of L for the problem below?

If a child%26#039;s foot is 7.75%26quot;, then the child wears a size 13. If the child foot is 5.75 the child wears size 7. The shoe size S is a linear function of the length of the foot L.

Write a linear eq. expressing S as a function of L for the problem below?
A linear eq has the form y = ax + b; for this problem, S = aL + b, and you need to find values for a and b (two unknowns). You are given two conditions: S = 13 when L = 7.75, and S = 7 when L = 5.75. Set up the equations:





13 = a*7.75 + b


7 = a*5.75 + b





Solve for a and b by any of the methods used for simultaneous linear equations.





Ex: subtract the second eq from the first to get





6 = 2*a. or a = 3





Then put a into either equation to get b:





13 = 7.75*3 + b, or b = 13 - 3*7.76 = -10.25





so the linear eq is





S = 3*L - 10.25

About what age do a child's feet stop growing?

My 11 year old son wears a size 13 men%26#039;s shoe. Has anyone noticed at about what age their feet slow down?

About what age do a child%26#039;s feet stop growing?
Your feet never stop growing. But they usually slow way down at around the same time your body stops growing and that%26#039;s different for everybody. (Usually during the late teenage years though)
Reply:im 15 and ive been about a 14 for the last few years. I think feet stop growing when puberty stops.
Reply:i%26#039;m 12 and wear a 9.5. So it isn%26#039;t that big.
Reply:15... actually mines are 12 and a half;.... but I think your sons would stop at that age like mines too... Iguess it is pretty normal for them to continue graowing
Reply:im thirteen and wear a 12 but it hasnt changed in 6 months
Reply:Never. haha they dont stop but they stop REALLY growing when someone is no longer a teenager.
Reply:My son%26#039;s feet stopped when he was 14, and mine stopped when i was about 15!
Reply:well im 15 and a size 10 so i guess it should stop when hes 15 or 16
Reply:haha i hope your kidding 13 mens shoe do you know how big that is? are you sure 13 mens


but they usually stop around age 17
Reply:When they reach pubity....
Reply:depends on child cause look at shaq he was like 6 foot 4 at the age of wat like 14
Reply:I%26#039;d say around 18-24.
Reply:24 years for my son - he wears a size 15!
Reply:Mine didn%26#039;t stop growing until I was 22. I guess it depends on the person.

Why did social services allow the old woman who lived in a shoe to go unchallenged when she had kids with her?

This is a serious question. I mean, it would surely have been unsanitary and dangerous to her children%26#039;s health?

Why did social services allow the old woman who lived in a shoe to go unchallenged when she had kids with her?
heres the thing at the time there was no childrens services and they moost certainly did not have the rediculous rules that DFS has theese days
Reply:yeah the sound whipping didnt do much for their health either, but at least they were well rested
Reply:Well, they didn%26#039;t have social services back then, and at one point in time if you beat your children (or your wife) it didn%26#039;t matter because they were your property.......My how things have changed!
Reply:Come on people, I dont really think they have social services in nursery rhymes! maybe she went unchalleneged because its a kids rhyme, not real, was only made coz it rhymes and makes kids laugh! i dont think its ment to be taken any where near this seriously!
Reply:Same goes for %26quot;Rock A Bye Baby%26quot;





Maybe these are all %26quot;notes%26quot; written from neighbors to give to their local authorities.
Reply:um mm lol, that%26#039;s a fairy tale.... social services don%26#039;t go in fairy tales....


if your interested in the social serves go to the web page, they might have one....
Reply:there are kids out there that live in worse conditions! nothings done about them -
Reply:Because she was their sole support - since dad was a heel.
Reply:That%26#039;s our flawed system maybe they did a home visit on a day when the shoe looked clean and safe maybe in that state as long as the kids are not being abused it%26#039;s okay to be homeless at least the rain was not pouring down on them maybe the shoe was waterproof a zillion reasons why kids fall thru the cracks
Reply:it was a detached shoe with lots bedrooms and playrooms for the kiddies.... a bit like the tardis, small on the outside.. spacious on the inside.the bathrooms very the cleanest in the land(she was the original bleach maiden) as for her kitchen... well she had every appliance under the sun.i thought everyone knew that...her profession was a nursery teacher before she had her litter.hope that puts your mind at rest...
Reply:Because there wasnt a %26quot;sole%26quot; around to report her.
Reply:I think it was a fairly big shoe.
Reply:...and the dish ran away with the spoon...
Reply:When I were a kid, shoes were things of luxury. We only had a cardboard box. 18 of us there were, and I had to go to work down the pit for 27 hours a day, come home, bathe in ice water, eat a dry crust of bread and then sleep on a bed of nails etc, etc....
Reply:nobody grasses on her. There are millions of kids living in squalor and being horrendously abused right now, but either nobody knows or nobody cares enough to report it, sometimes even when they do, social services does nothing.


Remember little Victoria Climbie? Social services didn%26#039;t.
Reply:why people always got to pick on the woman. how come u don%26#039;t question peter pumpkin eater?
Reply:maybe she kept it clean. and back then they didn%26#039;t have services so she could get away with having children and not having to feed them when they were bad. Yet she could used alot of foot repelant to keep it smelling fresh. And if they lived in a shoe either it was a giant%26#039;s shoe or they were tiny elves and the services wouldn%26#039;t even know they were there.
Reply:A serious question....? Well here`s a serious answer - have you any idea how hard life was in those days ? If you had any shoes at all you were lucky -most kids went around barefoot - i remember my brother going to school in one old shoe and one wellie in winter, we were so hard up. So to be having even one shoe - she would have had to be pretty well off. That`s why.
Reply:Thats the olden days for you dont even think there was a social services lucky you live in the 21st centuary. I am sure it would all be differant now
Reply:lol
Reply:how can you ask a serious question about a nursery song, in that case why did noone notice a dish running away with a spoon and a cow jumping over the moon, dont take it to heart, cos i once new of a little boy who lived down a drain and noone cared about that either
Reply:I guess it depends on how clean she kept the shoe and how often her kids got injured. It would also depend on whether or not her neighbors called to report her.
Reply:lol. u seen d pics of tat shoe!??! i wanted to live in that shoe when i was a lil kid...v sad i kno. mind, musta bin a very cheesey place. bet they got bullied at school for their whiff.....lol





also, exactly when have social EVER done their jobs properly?!?!
Reply:She was geting a kick back from the infamous Dr. Schoells. And the social worker let her slipper by with it as he was a real heel.
Reply:well they went round once and she booted them out,when the police caught up with her she hotfooted it.

A child's view of the police?

While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform,








She asked, %26quot;Are you a cop?%26quot; Yes,%26quot; I answered and continued writing the report. %26quot;My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right? %26quot;Yes, that%26#039;s right,%26quot; I told her. %26quot;Well, then,%26quot; she said as she extended her foot toward me, %26quot;would you please tie my shoe?%26quot;

I bbsit for a state trooper, one day he came home laughing, I had to ask what was up. He said he pulled over a man with two boys in the back seat. As he walked up to the car, the man rolled down his window, and the trooper heared two little voices %26quot; bad boys bad boys, whatha gonna do whacha gonna do when they come for you!%26quot; The father was trying to get them to bequiet, but the trooper just laughed so hard he couldnt write the warning, he just had to force out between the laughter that his taillight had been out.

Reply:lol.. thats cute... are you really a cop or did you just want to tell a little story??





When I was a kid, I used to think that policemen were smart, and fair and could help you at all times.





When I was a teenager, I found that cops (or at least the ones I dealt with) are *****!!!!!!!!!





Now that I%26#039;m an adult, it can go both ways.
Reply:ha ha. Funny! I assume that you did tie her shoe for her? After all, her mother told her that police were there to help her!
Reply:That is what police is expected to help children. Innocence.
Reply:I%26#039;m a student living in Sydney, so my view may not be as innocent as a child, but I have come to respect the values of the police force and what it stands for.





When I was younger, I was lead to believe that cops were role models, the fighters for justice and helping out the little folks. Now in the final years of my teens, I have seen how media portrays the police in both lights.





Police have it bad in the sense that they have to deal with all the crap that%26#039;s dealt their way, life threatening situations and such, and to deal with the backlash of a few screw ups and corrupted officers.





True and honest cops are true role models and should be more widely respected.





If you hate cops, chances are (and I know not in all cases, with racism and ****) that the reason is because they were trying to do their job.

Poll: Is it normal for a mother to still be holding on to her child's toys for memories?

My husband will be 30 this year and his mother still has his tricycle and many of his toys from when he was a baby and a small child. She also still has some of his clothing. She still has his bronzed baby shoes on display in the living room, and she even has a lock of his hair (from when he was a toddler) saved in a baggie. I think this is so weird. I could see maybe one or two things, but why would she still be holding on to all this?

Poll: Is it normal for a mother to still be holding on to her child%26#039;s toys for memories?
I would say it%26#039;s considered normal because it happens pretty often.





I personally don%26#039;t consider it positive behavior because it%26#039;s a sign that she isn%26#039;t letting go and therefore not evolving herself. Plus, she is basing her identity on being a mother and guardian when one isn%26#039;t necessary. A shrine is for morning a loss, children just grow up.
Reply:Its very normal and quite common, I have saved art work and stories my daughter has done in kindergarten. Children are a moms greatest gifts in life and just looking at those baby items can bring the best memories of our life back.
Reply:It%26#039;s perfectly normal!
Reply:Of course thats normal!


I think.....o.o
Reply:she is holding on to these things because he is still her child and will remain so forever. parenting doesn%26#039;t stop when your child becomes an adult. many people save the toys to pass on to grand children or for memories sake. And it doesn%26#039;t matter if you have one kid or ten although with only one kid it is easier to save momentos. Doesn%26#039;t your mother have anything of yours any more?
Reply:I still havesome of my son%26#039;s toys, but they%26#039;re going to his son when they come back to the states. Some things are worth keeping! It%26#039;s sweet as long as it%26#039;s not out of control. My son is sentimental and likes to keep special things, but he%26#039;s not a packrat.
Reply:nothing wrong with that,do you still keep photographs to remind you of the laughs you had,
