Years ago, when we had several young children, Sam came up with "Belt Loop". You see, he's visually impaired and he needed a way to manage unruly children. Sending them to time out didn't work very well because he couldn't see if they were still there. Plus, sending them "away" didn't appeal to him. One day, when helping with an ornery one, he said, "Here, latch onto my belt loop." Sam is a pacer so whichever child it was held onto his belt loop as he walked up and down the hall, into the office and out, stood up while he sat, etc. That's how belt loop came to be and it's been his "trademark" for years. Every child has experienced belt loop, multiple times. It's a way to spend time with Dad and calm down. It's a way to make a statement with love. It's a way to give Mom a break!

More to come...but until then, Stick-to-it!
