Place a smiley face on the refrigerator. Have
them draw it on construction paper or something like it. Glue a magnet to the
back of it. When you are having a good day leave it alone .If you are having a
bad day and do not feel well ,turn it upside down. Then you do not have to
constantly tell the children when you do not feel well and you need their help
that day .The kids can just walk by the fringe in the morning and they will
know by the smiley face.
That is a big help in my house.~Mom2All
I hang a pretty ribbon like a clothesline across my kitchen door. When the kids bring home school papers that they need me to read or sign, I hang them there with a clothespin. This helps me remember where things are and prevents them from getting lost in the everyday paper pile up.~Lettie TIPS FOR TELLING FRIENDS, FAMILY ABOUT YOUR DIAGNOSIS. TIP#1 BE PREPARED. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, MORE THAN LIKELY YOU MAY BE THE ONLY KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON IN THE ROOM. START WITH THE POSITIVE, MS, CAN BE PROGRESSIVE AND DISABLING, HOWEVER THEY MAJORITY OF PEOPLE LIVE NORMAL LIVES. TIP#2 TAKE LITERATURE WITH YOU. MS SOCIETY WILL GIVE YOU AS MANY COPIES OF ANY OF THEIR BROCHURES AS YOU NEED. HAND THEM OUT TO THE PEOPLE YOU WANT TO TELL, FIRST IT GIVES THEM SOMETHING TANGIBLE TO HOLD AND THEREFORE MAKES THEM FEEL STRONGER. GO TO THE WEB, PRINT OUT LITERATURE, DISCUSS WHAT MS IS, I, AM AMAZED THAT PEOPLE JUST DO NOT KNOW AND THEN FEEL STUPID FOR NOT KNOWING, THEREFORE THEY AVOID YOU, GETTING THE FACTS OUT FRONT AND TALKING ABOUT IT, WILL HELP THE OTHER PERSON UNDERSTAND.

"When my son would take baths
before he was old enough to climb out of the tub, we would play a game called
"seal" to help him get out and put less strain on my back. I would
kneel next to the tub and we would place a deflated pool mat over the side of
the tub. I'd wet it some and then grab on to his outstretched arms. He would
slide over the edge of the tub and into my arms like a seal! When he got a bit
older, we got a child's stepping stool for him to climb in and out without
needing my assistance. The bar we have in the tub for my own safety has added to
his safety as well!" ~ Lorna MS Moms founder, Sacramento, California.
