About |
We understand there's nothing more important to a parent than the health of their child. bluedominoes brings together the power of the Internet - an information portal, support community, and parent/child teaching projects to enable parents to easily explore a wide array of pathways to create a brighter future for their children. Even though bluedominoes is aimed at healing children, the information provided on this site is beneficial for all of us; and may be especially helpful for children with autism, ADD/ADHD, and learning and behavioral issues.
Why the name bluedominoes.com? bluedominoes believes that healing starts on the inside. With all the emphasis on the external environment, we didn't feel there was enough information about how our external choices impact our bodies, health, and mind. We wanted to go one step beyond thinking "green". Our focus became looking one step further, so we needed to find something that represented the extra step: on the colors in a rainbow, blue comes after green.
We incorporated the word dominoes to demonstrate how unique each of our paths to healing is and what works for one person may not work for another. Sometimes you will find you will share a similar path to other people and sometimes you will find you're off on your own path. This reminded us of the game dominoes in which players connect on certain squares and then sometimes veer off in different directions from one another.
This is how we view our personal paths to healing - some advice was the "right domino" that allowed us to remain healthy and other paths created "issues" and were not right for us. Further, some people even stack dominoes in a line and then knock the first domino over and watch the rest of the dominoes fall into place. This is also the mindset behind using the word dominoes because often times getting on the right path and seeing the domino effect leads us to breaking down those barriers; just as the initial domino caused the momentum to keep going and extend to the other domino blocks.
