It is hard-especially if you are upset and embarrassed as the parent...it used to bother me much more than it does now.<br /><br />I know with my son, that he has had more challenges lately since school recently got out.

He will continue to improve since his basics are solid. Good job Kai. Very impressive!Shiroi Torahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869506932268171410noreply@blogger.com
