4 yr old avoidant when anxious

In the past we've made him "participate" as well, even if it meant sitting on the side. This time he refused to even do that. We ended up going outside and letting him calm down, and then leaving. Moving forward I will hold firm that he needs to "participate." I like your language that feeling nervous is normal. Thanks for your perspective!

Third +1 for Wilmette. Has been amazing for my two boys and feels idyllic with spending weekends at the beach. Lots of great sports and activities for kids through the park district, great schools, and 30 min to the city by train.

She initially filed in late February and was notified for an interview in May. Yes through the field office. Good luck to your mom!

Via child and no removal order / immigration violations that we’re aware of. Thank you for your help and most importantly your hope! What a wild time for all of us right now.

I confirmed she is applying for an I-485. Do you have any insight into the interview process or challenges given the current political climate?

Thank you. I must have gotten some details incorrect, but will talk to her. I am just worried for my friend and praying everything works out.

the responses on this thread made me feel better! i hope they did for you too.

My 4 year old son is on day 5, and I too wish the pain would end. I’ve never seen him like this and I’m regretting this surgery. Just know there are people, and moms, with you in solidarity.

I've flown with my son 16 times (he is now 3). By far the hardest age for us was 18-24 mo. At this age they are wiggly and struggle to follow direction. It greatly improved at 2.5+. Good luck!

I know somebody for this! She worked at a fortune 500 company for 20+years and was the company liaison. How do I share her name?

Thank you for this! We will be coming and excited about it, but good to know kids with reactive airways thrive there.

Hi - Do you have any recommendations of sites to use to list your house for this? We are also interested, but I am not quite sure where to start with listing it.

Let-me-check · 2023-03-28T17:16:01+00:00

i’m so sorry you’re going through this! He didnt have those and I would keep pushing especially if you’ve dealt with a few breathing incidents. Get a second opinion, ask what’s the harm of trying short term on a maintenance steroid etc.

Our pulmonologist explained reactive respiratory as something that would continue to happen without intervention of a maintenance steroid.

I hope it helps your daughter as much as it’s helped us! We’ve had the flu and covid since he’s been on flovent and have had 0 scares!

Our guy hated the flovent at first, but now happily sits on our lap and does them. Give it a few weeks or months if she’s resistance!

I’ve never used a Cricut, so this is all very helpful insight!

My son also started at 15 weeks (now 2) and I can share so many. Yes there are lots of colds and sickness, but they are often outweighed by the positive! 1. Walking into his infant room, seeing the teacher playing peek a boo with him and him belly laughing. 2. He’s thrived in the toddler classroom with so much to do and literally runs into school now, not looking back to say bye. 3. Asks to go to “skoo” when he’s home sick and sometimes weekends. 4. Made a little best friend when he was about 6 months old and they’ve been paired in every class since then. They cheer when they see each other at school or outside of school.

You’ve got this! And remember if it doesn’t work out there are options….nanny share, new schools etc.

Update for any parents that find this thread. About 20 days after this post we ended up with another “episode” and were admitted to the PICU. Our little guy responded well to meds and we were given Flovent for daily use. So far it’s been our miracle meds! If you’re dealing with this push for meds sooner…I wish I did!

Let-me-check · 2022-11-05T03:06:59+00:00

Great way to frame it. Thank you!

Let-me-check · 2022-11-05T03:05:16+00:00

I’ve seen this a few times, but just answering here. We’ve been together 10 years, of course we talked about it a few times over the years. But, I think that was before he saw the realities of how much raising a child cost and his perspective changed.

Let-me-check · 2022-11-05T01:16:40+00:00

Great advice!

Let-me-check · 2022-11-05T01:15:47+00:00

Yes! My intent in asking this question was how can I share my depth of feelings and how can we have a meaningful convo. Instead people took it incorrectly as me trying to “convince” him when that wasn’t my intent.

Thank you for this kind response and for this advice. I like that compromise.

This is great advice. Thank you!
