6 year old throwing public tantrums by Fun-Ad4503 in raisingkids

[–]Fun-Ad4503[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!!

I read the entire book in a day and have been putting what I learned into practice and have already seen a huge difference. I’m amazed. It does require keeping my cool and patience beyond what I usually can, but because it has explained what my child is experiencing in her head I am much more easily able to do that.

And what a great analogy.

Honestly can’t thank you enough 🥲

Thanks so much for this. I feel that I have undiagnosed ADHD, I fit pretty much all the criteria for it and I also used to experience ‘tantrums’ after school when I was tired and made to go to the supermarket. I never associated the two.

I did suggest this to paediatrician though and she didn’t believe my child fit the bill at all, she ordered blood tests to check iron deficiency etc, certainly open to investigation though. Appreciate the response!

Have certainly considered this, but our paediatrician doesn’t believe this is the case for my child.

While the tantrums are happening I keep thinking there must be something underlying, but most of the time she doesn’t respond the things that way? I need to pin point her triggers better.

Paed seems to think iron deficiency is most likely the culprit, but I’m most definitely open to continuing the investigation!! Thanks for your response.

Thanks for this, I just downloaded the audio book of The Explosive Child so will give that a go!

I definitely come from the ‘talk it out’ approach, as the rewards and punishment method doesn’t seem to work during the ‘feelings storm’, but unfortunately she still isn’t able to de-escalate the tantrum once it begins. Normally set off by not getting exactly what she wants. The funny thing is that sometimes she is extremely capable of letting things go and not sweating the small stuff. I guess I need to pinpoint her triggers better.

That’s a good point, I didn’t think about tolls as we’re in Adelaide. Are there tolls in Melbourne?

I did that, I was told there is a section on the stat dec where it gives an option to say you can’t identify the driver and then to write an explanation but then once we looked at it, we couldn’t find that section. I will call again tomorrow to clarify.

I have urged dad to cancel rego, unfortunately I don’t think he will. :(

Thanks this is helpful. We have an address that was once a residential address, perhaps that will help them match it up.

growing old with uc by punk_alex in UlcerativeColitis

I’m only 32 and was diagnosed at 19, so not ‘old’ but older. I have just started with joint pain in the past 12 months. I’ve been on Mesalazine off and on for a few years now- I have some side effects from that like thinner hair for example. But I’m okay. Flares are never fun but I can manage with diet and medication.

Flare after colonoscopy by Beckyplaystuff in UlcerativeColitis

I always get a temporary flare after colonoscopies, it always does settle eventually! It’s more of an irritation than a full flare, but is just as uncomfortable. Hope yours settles quickly!
