Believe me...a child would want shoes!

Wrong again. She would be perfectly happy in the snow without them.

Have you even tried letting her feel the snow with her feet ?

Sounds like me.

Continue.

But in truth, I don't believe it would.

would what?

 

[Beowulf]

would what?

A child named "It?"

There is, though. As rational people, you and I can let those people who think that making a chart or resetting a CI program is child abuse that they are mistaken and are being offensive by suggesting such a thing. That type of ignorance about deafness and parenting-- or personal bias against an individual -- doesn't have to stand.

Wouldn't it have been nice if the OP received a rational answer rather than being blamed and chastised for pain some individuals here experienced a generation or two ago? That person might have returned again and again, becoming familiar with Deaf Culture, ASL, and all of us (if she is not already). Could have turned someone around rather than turned someone away.[/QUOTE]


Not again with that...
Why is it always deaf people's fault? Should we lie about the possibilities of the OP's issues with his/her child and sugarcoat it?

 

[AlleyCat]

Why? If you know it doesn't hurt, how is it different form anything else a child might decide they don't want to wear?

In this very particular situation that the OP has brought here, do YOU know for a fact that the 3 YO's CI is not hurting in some way? No, you don't.

I am addressing the concern of the 3 YO here. I am not talking about what else they might decide they don't want to wear. I didn't bring socks and shoes into this.

I weep for unhappy CI kids everywhere.

I weep with you.

Same. Its ridiculous how other meaningless items are brought up into the discussion.

 

[faire_jour]

would what?

That it would continue. "It" meaning the the refusal to wear the device.

 

[shel90]

Aha. Just if we relied on ASL.. There will be no "weeks of delay"... Comical argument.

Remember ASL is not a language considered as equal to English.

That is why we said, again and again, to make sure it isn't.

Unless apes do it. Then it is a new ballgame.

Really???? Then programs incorporating it must be called 1/4-3/4 instead of bi-bi??

Thats the point... If you are making sure again and again that it doesn't hurt... and the child is still resisting, crying, throwing fits with the CI.... You still would continue. Sup with that?

So much for making a child feel inferior.

Right there above.

Not literally, but it has been implied countless times.

Oh yea!!! Because the majority doesnt use ASL so we must follow the majority.
