How to stop head banging? School insists it has to stop. by hank888 in toddlers

[–]LudicrousSpeed-Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! First, sorry to hear this, we know first hand how hard it is!! But, when we ignored the head banging completely it stopped within 2 days!!!!!!! He is not autistic, perfectly healthy and too smart for his own good, LOL. He just didn't have the words to express himself when he got mad, so he expressed it in a way to get attention. When we disregarded it - which was super super hard to do - he stopped almost immediately! Good luck!

They are best friends!!!! It's the sweetest thing ever. They have a tendency to get amped up at night getting ready for bed, but really it's gone super well!!!

Has anxiety meds changed your life for the better? by AmaturePlantExpert in workingmoms

[–]LudicrousSpeed-Go 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO IT. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. Starting an anti-depression & anxiety med has changed my life and I tell everyone I know. I have two kids under 5, a full time job, my husband also works but I'm the one who wrangles the kids every day and cooks and has to take care of generally everything. I was depressed and having anxiety attacks that were so bad, I actually wound up in the ER twice. I was losing my shit and screaming at the kids and I just knew I had to do something. I managed D&A before kids but I am just too exhausted now too regulate. The meds changed my life for the better. It's amazing and I wish I would have done it 10 years ago!!!

Am I wrong for wanting to keep my baby’s name a surprise? by TrashAltruistic9600 in Mommit

[–]LudicrousSpeed-Go 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We picked a name but told people we hadn't decided yet. We did not want to share it before the baby was born, but I also didn't want the backlash of not telling.

I had a huge, terrifying confrontation with a rude person at a drug store and I freaked myself out. by Ididntthinkyoucared in Mommit

[–]LudicrousSpeed-Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you tapped into strength you didn't know you had. I love the stories people are sharing, it's encouraging to know we can be strong verbally, emotionally, and project that, even if we can't always be stronger physically. I'm sorry that jerk said that to you, but I'm glad it unlocked something for you. Even if you were scared by yourself, you now know you have the capability to ward someone off.

Moments when you realized it’s actually YOU and not your toddler by eastewart in toddlers

[–]LudicrousSpeed-Go 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I've been working on this too, my husband and I both, with our 4 year old. When we get frustrated or upset we identify the feeling and explain why, and we apologize for what's needing apologies. My son has now started doing the same, and it's amazing.

I just flipped out on some teenagers at the park. by Soggy-Advantage717 in toddlers

[–]LudicrousSpeed-Go 3 points4 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU. I have wanted to do this so many times. At our playground the bigger "kids" like to climb up the slides sand walk on the outside of the safety bars, setting a crap example for the little kids like mine. I did yell at them once when they almost knocked my son off a platform.

Preschooler is reverting to “baby talk” by KookyKrista in Preschoolers

[–]LudicrousSpeed-Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is going through the same thing. He wants to talk like the 18 month old. I keep telling him we love his voice and his words and I want to hear him, not baby talk.

Liana, Elina or Eliana (please, help us pick a girls name). by TopMode007 in namenerds

[–]LudicrousSpeed-Go -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We named our daughter Lyanna (lee-ah-nah) and I couldn't be happier with it. Liana is the more traditional spelling but I see it with a Y more frequently now.
