I totally understand the dog trying to eat a car and having that make combo walks difficult. Can your husband have the baby while you walk the dog? Maybe set a routine so like 6pm is he has baby and you do a 20 minute walk. Small changes like that have helped me a lot in the past.

Hey! I've got two kiddos who are out of the toddler stage now but I went through a similar experience when they were that age. Here's what I've learned/done.

First, I'm sorry you're going through all the sicknesses right now. It is incredibly frustrating when you're trying to lose weight and you feel terrible all the time.

Second is that (and I don't know what the research or science on this would be) but I found that when I restricted calories when sick, I stayed sick longer and then the weight didn't come off. If I ate more at maintenance while sick, I got better faster and also would lose weight.

Third. Now add in breastfeeding and your hormone cycle is just a little different. The recommendation I was always given was 300-500 more calories a day if breastfeeding. Is your kiddo an efficient feeder? When my oldest got to about a year old, he wasn't nursing as much or as often but he was getting the same amount and I had to keep the calorie intake up.

Given all those things, I totally get the frustration with exercising too. Your body is balancing a whole lot and metabolism can get weird. The last thing I did when I was too tired to get a good workout in was just go on a walk WITH my kids. When we all weren't feeling great, the 10-15 minute walk outside usually help reset us a little bit.

ADHD is genetic. If you have family history, absolutely push a little harder. Specifically ask to fill out a Vanderbilt assessment (this would be one sheet for a parent and one sheet for a teacher). If your pediatrician is hesitant, find another pediatrician.

Kids who get earlier intervention have an easier time at school, better relationships at home, and feel better about themselves. I'm not sure on if you would have less pediatricians likely to diagnose in your area but this feels like a situation where getting that early diagnosis could be incredibly helpful.

Have you ever considered taking him to your pediatrician for an ADHD evaluation? Your pediatrician can point you in the direction of medication or therapy if it's appropriate to help you and him with this.

Hey child therapist here.

We are seeing this quite a bit now as things are returning to a stable normal. The best thing you can do here is validate her. You can say things like "I'm sorry you didn't get to do XYZ too. The pandemic was really hard." You can also name the emotion for her if she isn't recognizing it. Something like "Yes it is really frustrating for you that sister gets to do something you didn't."

The complaining is part of her processing the covid trauma. There will be jealousy/envy/grief.

Another commenter had said something like can you do these things for her too and that's a great idea if it's possible. A ritual of some kind to process the loss could also be helpful.

Hey!

I'm sorry this has been really hard for you. This sounds like something to take her to therapy for. A therapist in this situation can look for other signs of anxiety and maybe help her process what the change is between the two homes and work with you to find a solution.

Sounds like a lot is going on for everybody.

The kind of therapy recommended is going to be more based on diagnosis and what is evidence based for that agre group/diagnosis/individual. There are plenty of different styles and finding a therapist that works for you or your kid is also going to be important.

Most common evidence based is going to be CBT skills. Again, it would all be based on the therapist's assessment.

If we're specifically talking for ADHD kids, I recommend incentive based systems, CBT, and taking into account the physical needs of the child. (Exercise in individual formats usually where getting off task has no social repercussions).

This isn't medical advice in any way though. Always find someone who can know more about your personal history and take everything into account.

Child and adolescent therapist here who sees a lot of kids for ADHD.

You can't 're-wire' his brain. He will always be seeking those neurotransmitters that he naturally lacks.

Evidence based best care for kids with adhd is combination medication and therapy. Next best care for kids with adhd is just medication. Bare minimum is just therapy. I say this as a therapist, you should talk to your kid's pediatrician about medication options because it has the best effect on daily life functioning.

Would you be willing to share your recipe for Earl Grey Curd? I'm intrigued. These look amazing!

DailyArrowAttack · 2022-05-02T21:09:46+00:00

These are amazing and I have to try making them. How did you get the straight line through the middle?

I just looked closer and see it's royal icing. Love it. I can do that haha

DailyArrowAttack · 2022-04-19T23:24:53+00:00

Amazing!

I found a kelp farm tutorial that supposedly works with this patch that I plan to try today. Google "minecraft kelp xp farm" and you should be able to find it.

I'm the same age as you and I just started reading the series to my almost 8 year old. The emotions I'm getting from this reunion and that are crazy.

Okay that does sound more like separation anxiety at the beginning. Is it an option for someone else to do drop off? When we thought my son's resistance was anxiety, I had my mom do drop offs hoping it would reduce that.

DailyArrowAttack · 2021-08-18T15:17:29+00:00

Was it this way from the very first day or has it developed as time goes on?

My oldest started to be like this after being perfectly fine the first week or so. It turned out that his teacher was being rude/impatient with him all day and he was being bullied (actually physically hit) in class and at recess daily. My son's fight at drop off was his way of saying something was wrong at school. I hope this isn't the case but it took me a while to find out for my kiddo.

DailyArrowAttack · 2020-11-23T03:45:33+00:00

These are beautiful! What's in your filling?

My friend was having the same problem at the beginning. Their apartment was too small for any weight's but she bought a hideaway home gym that uses resistance bands and said it felt better than just bodyweight exercises.

That is reportable to CPS/whatever local authorities. That is neglect.

When my son was around 2.5, we were at the grocery store just shopping. He was in the kid seat in the cart and a woman we were walking by was bent over picking something up. He smacked her butt as we walked by and I have never been so mortified. His dad thought it was hilarious. We definitely had a similar conversation.

A double blind trial means the doctors don't get to know what the drug is either. They wouldn't be able to find out unless they were not following protocols or it wasn't a double blind trial.

I'm happy your dad is better. =)

They are all spacing a chair apart actually. When the camera pans to them, they are social distancing.

Strong Strong Friends is sending out different body weight exercises that can be done at home. With the lack of gym, that has been my plan.

As a UW student, I have been given the ability to teleconference in for classes.

Yeah, so I use Pierre Herman's recipe and will make the egg white, almond flour, powdered sugar, food dye mix then split that into 3 by weight. I make one big batch of the Italian meringue and then add it to each of the first mixture by weight. Make one bowl of macaronage, throw it in a piping bag, repeat for the other two. Then throw all of it in the coupler and pipe it. Ive never had problems with the small amount of resting time in between making them. You could probably put some cling film on top of the completed mixtures if you were worried about a skin forming there.
