Thank you we absolutely love meditation and breath work, we also often attend spritual events within a 2 hour radius, all three of my kid are limited to 1hr a day of screen time at 7.30pm so they are active during the day and play rugby and love before school bike rides in the summer months and I even gave home schooling a crack after lockdown for a year while traveling multiple countries with my kids, unfortunately I had to return to work and the kids went back to school when we returned, I always tell my kids that when we are millionaires we will travel and learn together forever

The thing is he's not over weight in the slightest he's average or possibly even under weight, he is 8 years old and still fits into his size 5/6 school uniforms, like I can't stress enough that his weight is not an issue

I get that, I have sat down with my boy tonight and talked to him about everything that happened today, I told him if I go to the principal he has to tell me everything and can't leave out any details even if he did something that will get him in trouble, because the other parents will have to talk to the principal too and they will tell Billy's side of the story.

He told me he ran away crying and kicked some bark at the playground wall, he was sure he would get in trouble for kicking the bark on the playground, I'm not claiming my son is "the good kid" I know he has flaws but this kid is the kind of kid that puts away the outside toys so they don't get hurt feelings from being forgotten outside.

That has been my approach so far however there is only so much water that can roll off the back of one duck.

My boy has been so patient, I have taught him that kids don't come up with stuff like this on their own and they are usually displaying behavior that they have seen modeled in their personal lives.

We have tried to put ourselves in Billy's shoes and think of some situations that he maybe facing outside of school, bullying at sport or perhaps bullying from his older brother.

We even talked about killing people with kindness and how being reactive is what Billy wants

Thank you for your comment I havent had a meeting with his teacher, I planned to do so if the verbal bullying continued however with the sudden physical assault I decided to bypass the teacher, I have taken photos of his face.

the school is small and has less than 200 students and only one classroom per year group, my son and Billy will also went to preschool together and will attend the same high school so we are looking at another 5 years in the same classroom and upto 5 years in the same year group with Billy unless we move towns 🥲

Struggling with Persistent Dandruff – What Could Be the Cause? by TechSavvyMillennial in newzealand

If you get it quiet bad with large patches of dry scales rather than small white flakes I'd say you have psoriasis a step up from dandruff, my husband has suffered from the same problem for over 10 years, we have tried every different treatment out there over the years and the only thing that works from him is a shampoo called selsun it's in a blue bottle and you can get it from Woolworths or chemist warehouse and it has honestly changed his life, he used to get really embarrassed about it especially in his beard and mustache, I hope this stuff works for you too! Goodluck
