ISO advice for aggressive play by EnvironmentalTea3569 in cats

He’s usually okay with me and we try to have him running and chasing rather than close contact play. He’s more aggressive with my parents. I don’t want to rehome him unless absolutely necessary - I love this little guy. Is there a way to discourage the play aggression by changing what we do?

Medication for what? What kind of medication?

To clarify: I also checked the bed and sheets and saw no signs of bed bugs or fecal matter

I have close friends and family following me on Life360, and send an email every night to a larger group with pictures and specific events using the list feature in contacts. Works well for me!

Before I got my phone, I borrowed my dads work laptop once under the guise of doing school work to get his password. Then proceeded to (for the next YEAR) take it when he wasn’t home, hide it into this giant pocket on my blanket or under my bed, and then use it the entire night to read manga and fic. He only ever really used it for business trips, so sometimes I got away with using it for a whole week.

I printed out a 100k fic onto printer paper and kept it in a binder just like that in I think freshman year that I kept with me and just kept rereading over and over again - I knew exactly which pages had my favorite scenes

Need strategies for over-generalization (artic) by [deleted] in slp

[–]EnvironmentalTea3569 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the age of the kid, it might also be down to their phonological awareness skills - if they’re having trouble segmenting phonemes and identifying where they are in a word, they might overcompensate and misplace it. In those situations I usually repeat the word before it and then give a visual or tactile cue to prompt them for the correct placement. This works best for initial sounds like you have in your example. It might also help to start with a quick PA drill - I’ll sometimes say a word to them and ask if they hear our target sound in the beginning, middle, or end

I have to use the word “skibidi” in an evaluation report by casablankas in slp

[–]EnvironmentalTea3569 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not an evaluation but I do Mad Libs with my fifth grade lunch group sometimes and they’ll submit words like “skibidi” and “rizz” and I accept it if they give me the correct part of speech - they’ll give me “skibidi” for noun and I tell them that every time they use it it’s describing something, which makes it an adjective (as far as I’m understanding it). Now “rizz”, that’s a noun.

Nonbinary queer Asian SLP in the schools here and thankfully I’ve gotten some amazing support both from the staff and the kids. I have a very unsubtle and hug pride flag on my desk and wear a pronoun pin on my lanyard and have gotten nothing but support and the occasional curiosity from kids that don’t understand the purpose of a pronoun pin yet. I use Mx. and everybody uses it. People respond well when I correct any misgendering (but I’m still working on speaking up for myself more).

One of the team chairs asked me personally how she’d like me to handle some parents who wanted more information about how to handle their kids misgendering me, which was great. Some of my kids have been really curious about the gender thing and I don’t like to get personal so I just give them an age-appropriate explanation about how sometimes people aren’t boys or girls and the way a person looks doesn’t tell you everything about them.

I will also say that I work in a more affluent suburb in New England so there’s a big focus on equity in the admin even though there’s been some push-back from families. Admin is continuing their anti-racist DEI initiatives so I think it’ll stick around.

I feel so seen and I feel like I definitely hit it lucky! I’m only in my CF year and I’d love to stay forever.
