My keyboards do not last very long because I thump with one finger and knock the 

letters into oblivion, so I just buy fairly cheap ones. Your children are a credit to the way you encourage them to exploit their potential. Thank you for the series, I hope you keep well and your wife.

Re: Re:

Grrrrrrrrr. I bought this keyboard less than six months ago, and it seems to be 'bent.' The keys in the middle of the thing are becoming extremely difficult to push.

The second sentence of my comment should read: the child is doing well.  

I paid a lot of money for this keyboard, but it will end up in the trash very soon!

Re:

It starts when a child is very young. Constant assurance that the child is doing we, but soft, gentle reminder when they do it wrong. We did what we could with our children to encourage them that they could do or be anything they wanted to be if they were willing to work for it. Our daughter became an RN in a huge hospital and is a unit supervisor of the CCU unit. Our son just retired from the military after being in the Air Force for six years and then in the Army, where he worked *undercover* in some hazardous places with some very dangerous people looking for him. He was left in Afghanistan last August, but because he had *contacts,* he was able to make his way to Pakistan, where his contacts smuggled him and seven of his men to Germany. 

I was very nervous while he was out of contact with me, but I knew that we had raised the boy to be able to think beyond his nose and that if escape was possible, the boy would escape.

One of the problems is getting referred to a suitable person who really understands the problem. One day perhaps we shall find a place in the mind that obliterates all stressful thinking.
