Why are kids so cruel? Addressing the “Ice Bucket” challenge prank. September 9, 2014. I’m not just worried that children might bully Kamp and Max. I’m terrified of kids (in general) who want to be cruel; children who think it’s funny to hurt or torture others who are defenseless. I’m afraid that my boys will one day mistake a cruel child’s act of torture as a sign of friendship. Do you gossip about others and then watch your son/daughter treat their friends unkindly? Remember, kids mimic what they see.

Gitty Up! | Kamping with Autism
https://kampingwithautism.wordpress.com/2011/11/10/gitty-up
November 10, 2011. Kampbell began therapy with horses over the summer at Schows Ranchette. In Pleasant Grove, Utah. This is where I really started to worry. Kamp has NEVER liked wearing anything on his head. Put so much as a hand on his head and he freaks out! Patricia could sense my hesitance and handed me a helmet. It was camouflage – what little boy doesn’t like camouflage? I remember I took it and told him, “Kamp, the helmet is part of the deal. If you wanna ride. Horse therapy has been so wonderful ...

July 4, 2012. July 4, 2012. Anyone who has a child with autism knows that taking them away from their routine can be a challenge. Kamp is low functioning so it becomes more difficult to prepare him for change, especially when there is a major communication barrier. (He can’t talk and he doesn’t understand most simple, and all complex reasoning). So what do we do? We accepted Erin’s offer and wouldn’t you know it, the guilt immediately set in! I had heard about others and read plenty. As it happens, we we...

Waiting to hear, “I Love You.”. May 15, 2012. Along with autism, Kamp has been diagnosed with Receptive and Expressive Communicative Delay Disorder ( RECDD. It means that, not only does Kamp not use language, but he has a hard time understanding it too. He doesn’t see the importance of language, and doesn’t know how to think in abstract terms. How do you teach a little boy that language is important when he doesn’t know what language is? Therein lies the difficulty. Language, but the likelihood of him.

Life with the Sharps. Thursday, September 13, 2012. End of summer adventures! I was hoping the order of the pics. was going to stay the way I added them, but the computer had a different idea! Summer came and went in a flash! Before we knew it, we were practicing bed time routine! Bahaha, ya right! Braed is officially done with Cub Scouts. He is now in Boy Scouts. Here he is right after I got done drawing on his face for his Arrow of Light! It really is "What fun is"! What an amazing day! What Alan doesn...

Life with the Sharps. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Ok, I know how overdue this post is, but it's been a wild couple of months. Parties and sad events, make for just spending time with family! Anyhow, hope this post isn't too long! Start with my 2 cute nieces in the above pic. Just gorgeous! Kam and Braed love their new quilts from Grama Berta! Braed's is a BYU Levi one! Could it get any better? See how Jacks is the only one with a pleasant look? Could it be because he slept through most of the meeting?

Life with the Sharps. Monday, September 26, 2011. It's all about BYU football! Jackson's 1st BYU Football game at Lavell Edwards Stadium! Except for the little cat naps he took, without crying I might add. This kid may possibly be as big a fan as his Daddy! Thanks to our awesome friends, we had some extra tickets, so we decided to make it a family affair! A fun time was had by all. I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but I must admit, I was a tad bit WORRIED about how Jacks would do! He is st...
