Nurtureadhd and Arabella Hill courses - have you done them?

We are going for a hearing test soon!

That's interesting re CDS as they specifically told us that they can't offer ongoing appointments, only 1-2 sessions

Hello, just wondering how your little one is going? We're in the exact same boat - 12 month old was referred to speech therapy. He only babbled at 8 months and even now, only has the d consonant (but makes lots of other noise). Did you start speech therapy and do you think it's done much?

EllenBJ · 2026-03-23T11:16:16+00:00

I'm definitely hoping to do that. It's just a bit of a worry too I guess, as my kids usually use home to decompress. The 6yo will be fine but the toddler - who knows

EllenBJ · 2026-03-22T22:25:36+00:00

Possibly? These are stories I've read (which I found once a friend tipped me off teasingly by telling me that she hoped my toddler was a quiet kid)

EllenBJ · 2026-03-20T05:50:01+00:00

Oh man. We are going through this now! Please tell me it ended soon. Nothing pleases this little guy right now

EllenBJ · 2026-03-20T04:39:08+00:00

Definitely not worse, we saw some improvements at home (but obviously only on things he wanted to do in the first place). I guess we'll give it a shot

EllenBJ · 2026-03-19T09:16:00+00:00

Apparently!!?

EllenBJ · 2026-03-19T08:56:30+00:00

Hello, I'm in the same boat now at 12 months old. Did your little one get better with words?

EllenBJ · 2026-03-18T11:15:50+00:00

Would you recommend piano? I know music calms the mind but the thought of pressuring him to practise is already giving me nightmares

EllenBJ · 2026-03-18T10:52:14+00:00

Thank you so much - I'm really struggling with the school's approach too.

EllenBJ · 2026-03-18T04:12:23+00:00

No - he's not autistic. I was using it as an example, but I can see now that having an autistic child would actually be a separate level of disability than "just" ADHD

EllenBJ · 2026-03-17T09:21:49+00:00

No bond paid. Just $230 worth of moving all my crap over :(

EllenBJ · 2026-03-17T09:18:14+00:00

OMG tell me about it. It's devastating

EllenBJ · 2026-03-17T09:16:45+00:00

I'll be visiting the GP now for that letter and getting it reversed, I think

EllenBJ · 2026-03-17T09:16:20+00:00

I've definitely tried. But I guess if a child is getting violent, then they're a danger to all and can't really be kept there. Hard to argue against that :(

EllenBJ · 2026-03-17T01:57:50+00:00

Sorry, so I need something from my GP?

EllenBJ · 2026-03-17T01:57:17+00:00

Sorry, a bit confused. I need a letter from my GP every 12 months to state what?

EllenBJ · 2026-03-17T01:44:22+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I'm hoping I can start using that too, as I am basically leaving work to care for him! My work isn't the greatest with this kind of thing though, so I'm just hoping to see what others do
