A lot of kids have iPods- I don't know what Queen Teen's hearing level is like, but they make music links that work with hearing aids' telecoils: http://www.hearinglosshelp.com/products/earlinks.htm <br /><br />Some girls are really into charm bracelets, collecting different charms, etc.<br /><br />Also, she might like to get "crafty." Learning how to knit/crochet or sew or do rubber stamping or card making might engage her a little. I'm not sure how you would need to modify some of the activities to fit her visual needs (could emboss the stamps so that they could be felt as well as seen, etc).<br /><br />There are times I am glad my boys are two and (almost) four- little metal cars keep them occupied for hours!leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004783118268323560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015001070408415901.post-37349657693923518952009-11-16T10:30:12.808-08:002009-11-16T10:30:12.808-08:00Tough questions...

Jenn is trying not to outgrow anything, but it's happening anyway...<br /><br />There's a teen mentorship program at the community center near us that I am thinking of letting Jenn try (it is inclusive and diverse) I don't know what else to do. Music blaring from the basement is popular (she is not deaf but likes it loud enough to feel.) <br /><br /><br />If you get ideas let me know, I need them too.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802459265546733391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015001070408415901.post-40107447757272645602009-11-15T21:16:36.613-08:002009-11-15T21:16:36.613-08:00Wow.

I imagine you have to seek out a fourteen year old girl and ask her to coach you and Queen Teen -- and you'll probably see just how boring that teen culture really is! Maybe you can jump ahead and see if there's anyone from old literature that she could "emulate" -- I'm thinking of Jane Austen and Little Women, etc. Does she like to read/listen to stories?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015001070408415901.post-59336696457171243332009-11-15T21:16:06.049-08:002009-11-15T21:16:06.049-08:00Wow.
