As my daughter started hitting her growth spurt, I did notice her arm and shoulder tightening. I was concerned about her shoulder stability and formation. I took her for two evaluations, with two different Doctors. They both said that as growth spurts happens, so does a natural tighting of the muscl...

<t>You know what's best for your child and you should follow your gut instinct. I am sure your mother's intentions are good, but she is not in your shoes. I went through a similar experience when my daughter was very small. I couldn't help myself to remind anyone that picked her up to "be careful of...

<t>Thank you all for your responses. The info on the harness is great, I am going to look further into it. I'm not sure that one in particular is right for Emily, but possibly a variation. Also, I am going to contact the group in Fl. Emily is kneeboarding (hydroslide) and we do use the handle hook, ...

<t>Hi All, it's been a while since I have been active on this board, a few may remember us. I am Julie and my daughter is Emily, from CA. Emily is now 8 years old and doing great and is very active. I am wondering if any of the older kids are active in water sports, such as wakeboarding, kneeboardin...

He is in Southern CA and has a lot of experience in BPI cases. His web address is personalinjurylawusa.com I am not trying to promote...

<t>One thing we used, still use is the ab wheel. It's the wheel with handle bars on the sides. Kids use it in a crawling motion. My daughter was not able to crawl, due to the lack of strength in her arm, but the wheel worked great. She would have a ball rolling it aroung the house. You can also play...

<t>Hi Pam, <br/> Yes I remember you and Ashley. It's been a while (years) since I have posted or been involved. Your posting has come at the perfect time for me. My daughter Emily, is 7 1/2 now and in 1st grade. We are experiencing school sports and organized sports and she wants to do it all. Softb...

<t>Patty hit the nail on the head. Before mine, I had started to panick and worry, not ever going through anything like this before. But then I realized I had nothing to worry about, all there is - is the truth. I think the key for me was to stay focussed and not let the opposing attorney try to mix...

I just heard that the mother had been picked up and the baby is being returned home. Please keep this family in your thoughts & prayers.
