Lynn, I used to speak to my kids in whispers when I wanted to get their attention. They had to stop and concentrate and listen.....and that worked!
I saw a home video recently of my kids when they were 5 and 9 and WHOA!!
I'm thankful I didn't have MS when they were growing up. They were having fun but boy were they LOUD!
