Notice that he isn't strapped down.
My son had been huffing and puffing the last few weeks of summer. We thought he had a summer cold. We thought it was the dairy he was eating. We thought it was the smoke from the summer bonfires we were having. So we...
-gave him cold medication
-restricted him from cheese and ice cream
-made him stay away from the woodfires...
NONE OF THAT WORKED. So we took him to an allergist. As I was said before, notice that he isn't strapped down.
What did we find? He's allergic to...
-wheat
-tree nuts
-eggs
-horses
-dust mites...
But a strange thing happened (and it's related to his not being strapped down). My son was actually pleased with his diagnosis. His response?
Yay! I'm not allergic to dairy... I can have ice cream now!
For so long WE GUESSED WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIM and ended up curbing very enjoyable experiences for him...
-making him take cough syrup
-restricting yummy, summertime foods
-barring him from the bonfire
CREATING LITTLE FEARS IN HIM...
That little, wise boy didn't need to be strapped down, not because he wanted to know what was WRONG with him. He wanted to know what was RIGHT about him.
We all want to know what is RIGHT about us... OR SHOULD.
Do you want to know what is RIGHT about you?
