You can't spend your life running away the moment you get a few knock backs in life... seems a bit extreme to me. If this is a genuine post of course. -------------------- |

Guest Kent - Life's little knock backs, but you get up and plod on ! Do an LOI course in what you want to obtain for this promo. As far as your child is concerned, make an appointment to see his/her teacher about getting a hard time from his/her peers. I know of no other expat english speaking kid with this problem. So why does your child have to get picked upon? In a couple years time they'll want to be his/her friend when they get English homework !!
Matt - Make an appointment with local GGZ office about you being Dyslexic but want to learn Dutch. They might just allocate a budget allowing private tuition should you find it difficult with mainstream Dutch classes. Just stating this, cause we have had some visits with our kids on ADHD, ADD and ODC and have been granted a budget. Wesley - I know i'm not 100%. Only my wife knows the real % !
