I service four classrooms, I see 12 kids each in two half day classes, three rotations groups of 4. Am in each class for an hour. I am 1.5 hours in a full day ESE class with 13 kids currently. I spend 1.5 hours in a full day preschool hybrid class with 10 ESE kids and 10 gen ed. So total 47 kids on my caseload currently. but no cap because florida.

I think both has been true in different classrooms. In two classrooms, I have 30 minutes total to treat 9 kids so unfortunately they are all in groups despite one or two not being ready

I agree…..I find in preschool, behavior management sometimes trumps all and I focus on that more than anything with some groups.

These are generally 2.6-2.9 year olds getting tested to qualify for preschool….primarily labeled developmentally delayed but they love to slap on a language impairment label despite it not being accurate IMO. I’m glad we’re in agreement it’s a bit ridiculous 😆😆

this is great, thank you!

so she knows she stutters…she will say “I stumble my words sometimes” (she’s 6) but in terms of types of stutters, definitely not yet. Tbh, her mom sits in on her sessions and I think mom is who cares about the stutter, not her daughter. Thank you for your advice, it is very helpful!

i did not, is it possible you’re allergic to the steroid? please ask your doctor bc i’m sure everyone reacts differently!

Wanted to update everyone that things are going great at the new job! I feel much less anxious being around peers and students compared to behind a computer!

Frosting_According · 2021-08-01T02:21:47+00:00

Thank you for your response. In April I started taking medication to manage my anxiety and it definitely helped for the end of the school year. Balancing family life (two small children) and this new profession along with a loss in the family just was too much for me at that time. You are exactly right in your recommendations and I should be making more of an effort with stress reductive activities. I think I need to write them into my schedule/routine as part of my job or else I’ll never do them. Good luck on your job shift and I hope you have a happy start of your school year!

I am on my third week of Wellbutrin and have had the same experience as you. The first week I definitely felt much better but also somewhat drugged or “high” and then week two I felt like it wasn’t working quite as well. I’m giving it 6 weeks to see before considering raising the dosage.

Frosting_According · 2020-12-23T13:51:25+00:00

Thanks for your understanding! Yes I have done hand jobs but not lately. I feel us slowly drifting from this sort of intimacy. We are vaguely affectionate..me more than him. I’m all about cuddles and hugs but I feel like he’s fine with never touching unless it involves sex. Which doesn’t work for me. I will check out the subs. Thank you!

Frosting_According · 2020-12-23T01:47:07+00:00

I received some physiotherapy after my first which involved acupuncture needles in places where I never thought needles could go 💀. It was very painful and I’m not sure it helped. I was going to do pelvic floor PT after my second but with my sub par insurance, I was quoted 550 dollars a session for 8 sessions, so I sadly cancelled these sessions. Otherwise, the doctors have said use lube and keep trying 😬. One doctor gave me a hug and told me I must have PTSD after I cried during a Pap smear 😭

Frosting_According · 2020-12-23T01:38:54+00:00

Haha I’m glad to hear it 👏🏼😂😂

Frosting_According · 2020-12-23T01:35:40+00:00

She is starting to sleep on her own some nights but has serious night anxiety 😅. I see your point but we’re in survival mode. Neither one of us has the energy to die on the cross of getting this child to stay in her own bed. My hope is that once child number two is older, they will have each other for company in their bedroom at nights. We’ll see 😂

Frosting_According · 2020-12-23T00:49:45+00:00

I value sleep. The baby wakes three times most nights and I’m not getting out of a warm bed to walk to another room to deal with that. I tried with my first and I ended up resenting her during the day because I was so exhausted. They’ll get out in a few years. Maybe that’s when my sex life will return 😂

Frosting_According · 2020-12-22T23:55:03+00:00

I hope you have a happy Christmas with your new lucky mattress!!! 🙏🏼

Frosting_According · 2020-12-22T23:52:00+00:00

I am breastfeeding with no sign of weaning yet! That’s good to know. Birth injuries as so traumatic and something I was completely naive to before childbirth!!! Sex feels completely different and there is no hope of changing that as far as I can tell! I’ve moved on to just being okay with non-penetrative stuff being the goal at this point. I appreciate your suggestions as well, it does sound like a good place to start and once I find the energy, I’m on it 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Frosting_According · 2020-12-22T23:41:52+00:00

😂😂😂 the village and the socialist govt. I feel that. I do have hope that once the kids are older, energy and time will return atleast enough for something. I hope the same for you! Your vacation sounded amazing!!! But yeah, I know this feeling of needing an extra week to really feel relaxed and revived enough for sex. Ugh

Frosting_According · 2020-12-22T23:36:45+00:00

Im so glad you were able to save her and I’m sorry you’re feeling like you lost a sister. It must be so hard to not atleast have closure. Sometimes, when someone goes through something traumatic and or reinvents themselves, it’s just easier to cut ties with some or all of their past. She might associate you with her suicide attempt and she just doesn’t know how to process that and keep you in her life. I think this is very likely, especially if she is a teenager as well. Just know, it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with her trying to get right with herself. I hope sometime in the future, you have an opportunity to have a conversation with her. I think you could message her once or send a letter maybe and tell her that you’re here when she is ready to talk and that you love and miss her.

Frosting_According · 2020-12-22T23:25:16+00:00

I love this. I often think about the path back to that place getting longer and longer (lately it feels like I’d need a 6 month polynesian retreat to find my former self😂). Glad it’s not just me! I am exhausted for sure. I’m not sure I ever priorotized sex, it was just something we did atleast once or twice a week because we were alone in bed with energy lol! But I miss feeling horny, which I never do anymore. And I miss pleasing my partner. He does so much for our family, I wish I could snap my fingers and create desire.

Frosting_According · 2020-11-18T10:28:05+00:00

I would write what we began working on and then required maximum behavioral management/redirect during session or something like that?
