Larry had natural talent and the motivation to excel in soccer. As parents you have to encourage and support your child. Despite challenges and prejudices you will find people who will look at their talent and not their hearing loss.
Church can be a very good experience for your child. It was a major cornerstone in Larry’s upbringing. Be proactive in getting an interpreter for your deaf child.
Plan ahead and try to include your deaf child in all the family and holiday activities. You can do this by signing all that is going on around them. Include all the hearing relatives to sign and make it fun. Get an interpreter when necessary especially for worship.
Include your Deaf child in all holiday activities. Plan ahead for worship to ensure an interpreter is provided, the materials and the seating arrangements are all organized. This will make your child feel included and make the holidays less stressful. Plan ahead.
Tiger Woods have fallen from grace. I like Tiger although I am not a golfer. He has shown, discipline, perseverance and focus throughout his career. He still has great potential. We have to send him positive energy and let him and his family go through the healing process.
