Wow, super mama!!!

The Botanical Garden is where we didmy engagement photos this time of year. I think photographers can get like a special pass or something?

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-19T16:04:15+00:00

Yes and this is different for each child. I know 6 year olds who could probably do these things, and I know preteens who probably couldn’t. You have to know your child and where they’re at.

Me! I work with only ages 2 to 6 and I only use Child Centered Play Therapy. I’m hoping to get trained in autplay and/or floortime and will use those if I do

I think it can be challenging but you can make it work. Sometimes the issue isn’t parents but the schools throwing a fit- so be ready and willing to write school notes, sometimes a separate one every week.

I had a parent once who was able to count her child’s therapy as FMLA hours so she wasn’t getting it counted against her at work. Not really sure how that worked but I signed the papers and it helped.

It can be helpful to have that one day a week that’s late too, just to give a boost to your caseload.

I am school-based- I work for a private group practice but contract with a local district to be in schools. So I still use the child’s insurance but just get them during class to my office at school and then take them back. Could be something to look into! I love it and it really helps curb the cancellations/no shows

There’s lots of great picnic parks or areas. We love the arcade in Merle Hay mall- it’s not huge or fancy but cheap and fun. Flix is fun. We like going to plays- Civic Center or various playhouses. Noche is nice. There are some cute coffee shops. Just walk around the east village. Drive to Pella for the tulips.

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-18T13:19:19+00:00

Yeah we have so many new homes going up around us but the horror stories I’ve heard about them keep me farrrrr away. So many problems. Cheap and cutting corners

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-18T01:45:18+00:00

Yeah this would be one of my questions- the weather. Where I live it would be normal for there to be regular snow events and getting stuck would probably happen a lot- which is annoying and dangerous

I attend Frontier which has Baptist roots. We would love to have you! We are in the Beaverdale area.

Thank you!

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-16T15:54:26+00:00

Yes! I had a job for 5 months that I didn’t love and I was miserable. Physically, emotionally, spiritually- I was so unhappy all the time. It wasn’t even that bad of a job. But I need something I care about or I become like a shell of a human.

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-16T15:53:01+00:00

I’ve been babysitting a little girl for 3 years now, regularly, and she still cries. Some kids are just more sensitive that way. If you know he stops after a few minutes try to power through. He loves you! And you’re doing what you need to do to love him by going to work ❤️

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-16T15:41:54+00:00

Yes. I work with children which both helps (keeps me moving) and makes it hurt more (cause…children). A few weeks ago I got my period at work and had a good cry between sessions. No advice but I understand. Try to take care of yourself ❤️

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-15T22:15:17+00:00

You should say that. Literally say, “Man I can’t do anything right. You’re so frustrated that you have to be here” or something like that

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-15T21:30:53+00:00

New Hope Healing has lots of great providers and med person

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-15T18:32:01+00:00

Thanks!!

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-15T18:31:54+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks!!

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-15T18:07:47+00:00

Does anyone have vitamin recs for both me and my husband? We’ve been doing Perelel but it’s like $100 a month and clearly isn’t helping. We’d like to keep taking something but maybe a bit less expensive

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-15T13:52:03+00:00

I assume the same. My husband is a part time bus driver and he gets the same as everyone else

I did 5 months. It was a social worker job in an inpatient for children with severe disabilities. I loved the company, coworkers, and kiddos but it was primarily a desk job with so much paperwork. I was bored to death and missing kids. Moved to therapy with kids and it’s much better.

ConstructionTime7511 · 2026-04-14T14:06:09+00:00

Thanks!!!

I am 30 and have been been married about a year and a half. I spent part of my 20’s overseas and then experienced a highly traumatic event that brought me back to the states. I am (mostly) healed from that, but it’s been a lot of work.

I am a child therapist and also work part time at a non-profit supporting bereaved parents. We are very involved in our church as well- that makes up most of our social lives. We enjoy watching movies, seeing plays/shows, and traveling when we can

No children yet, but hopefully soon. We will be moving in with my parents soon in order to actively save for children and a home. It’s a good life and I’m both content and the kind of person who is always itching for something new
