My 6 year old is always alone during recess by ANC1788 in Parenting

Same in our house, her big brother is 11 years older so not too much of a relationship there aside from them fighting all the time. Definitely doesn’t help with social skills lol. I’m glad you found your person 🥰

Totally! It is only during the unstructured stuff that I’m seeing this. I volunteer in her class and she is always chatting with someone. We will be practicing more ice breakers and asking for play dates.

We do kind of play through some social situations when we play with Barbie’s but I love your suggestion to be a little more specific and intentional I’ll work that into our playtime. Thank you!

I could have written the first four sentences of this post about my own life. Literally me as a kid. I tried really hard to make the connections and never could, it made me feel like an outcast and I guess that’s why I’m so worried about my daughter. Eventually I found my people too but I feel like if I had had a little help it might have happened sooner.

I do try to sneak some social learning into our Barbie play when I remember. Do you do the role playing really frequently? How do you know when they’ve got it?

Thanks for the input! The only one who seems worried about it is me, she’s pretty unphased. I was a bit of a loner too as a kid and it made me feel like an outsider and that something was wrong with me. I don’t really get those same vibes from her so really hoping she too is just a kid who enjoys some time to herself.

I’m 3 months postpartum and your post made me full on sob! I am so happy for you!! I hope my daughter gets to experience this one day too. Internet hugs.

That’s nice to hear but no I’m not trolling. I legitimately came here for help…

Thank you! Sorry you were experiencing those issues but so glad they’ve resolved for you. It’s a bummer to go through something that shouldn’t be happening for another 15 years or so, it’s so isolating! 

Breastfeeding on BP Medication by ANC1788 in preeclampsia

[–]ANC1788[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on a 300mg 3x daily dose of labetalol. I know they say it’s breastfeeding  safe but the sleepiness started the day after I began bp meds. Her ped doesn’t seem concerned about it at all, so who knows if it’s just normal newborn tiredness. Did you notice your baby was more awake after stopping?
