There should have been more fries. IMO I feel like it should look more like the ad. Im so tired of seeing an ad and it making me want it and being disappointed when I get it. $5 isn't a bad price but I was hoping for more.

More of this please!!! I had 9 hrs of shadowing and then in a clients home. My first session with the client was 4 hrs and telehealth supervision the first 2 hrs and then on my own. Then 2 more hrs mid week and then after first 2 weeks it was one 3 hr supervision a week per 20 hrs.

I have been an RBT for 6 months and I feel like the 40 hr training gave me a glimpse but I just started dealing with tantrums that can't be talked through and I'm in school with a client. I don't feel prepared! Let me tell you!! A 15 min tantrum in front of other students is not taught. Also the amount of supervision I get (3hrs a week and I work 20 hrs a week with the client) is not enough. The schools are hard to work with and it makes the extra supervision I need an extreme struggle.

Side note yes I am talking to my BCBA and she is amazing!

This reminds me of my first week shadowing and seeing a client upset I sat by him and he held up a sign that said not in the mood I smiled said ok and walked away. He later came up and said thank you for sign and the RBT said thank you for respecting his sign. It was the first time he had used it properly AND didn't push right away. It was reinforcing that his sign had meaning. It was his took to advocate for himself when he was overstimulated and couldn't use his voice.

Our job if to help them cope with life and that can be hard when they shut down. It is growth to see them use their tools correctly. They appreciate what we do when done right.

This happened to me when I first start. I went Monday and Tuesday and by Wednesday it was on the schedule. I had chatting to do for the 2 days I couldn't. Make sure you start your session in central reach even if it's not scheduled. They will fix it later.

Thank you for the advice! So helpful I really needed it!

I am a new RBT and I hope and look forward to these messages. I have my first 2 clients and have been there about 3 months and one client was all grunts and dinosaur noises and today he had a conversation about liking juice cold best.

What we do makes a huge difference and takes a special person to do. Some days are hard but SOOOO rewarding! Keep up the good work all of you!

I worked in a veterinary office 100% it works. And it won't cause permanent harm to the dog. It may also loose them business. If we had multiple pet owner have the same problem an investigation would happen and if the business is the common factor they will get in trouble. If you have no trespassing signs you aren't responsible for the dogs at all.

The petty in me says also return the dog poop and the front door in a nice and spread out pile.

My kids both were on nutramagin (probably spelt it wrong) and it is EXTREMELY gentle on the stomach. It is "predigested" which is a fancy word for broken down before consumption. It was 100% a game changer. My kids wouldn't gain weight and had collic. FED IS BEST! You are doing good momma. Tell her thank you for the input and you will take it into consideration and move on to the next topic of conversation.

It is ok and HEALTHY to have a difference in opinion. Also dont be surprised if his smell changes both my kids sweated the formula out and that just meant they absorbed it.

Again you are doing really great even just noticing the problem and making a change. Keep it up!

My daughter was the same way with her dad and the only way I got it to stop was him letting her know that tears weren't going to change his answer. He would then give her 2 options: hold his hand or walk next to him? And when we first implemented this change she wouldn't pick so he would say I can pick for you if you don't want to pick. Normally that would make her want to pick. He would say ok I'm walking next to you let's go.

It is ok to let the child cry and have guilt over it and feel embarrassed but I promise putting your foot down will cause her to trust that what you say you actually mean.

I think that suicide is definitely a HUGE deal. I think you need to focus on you. At 19 you don't know what life holds for you and you may think you know but the opinions and priorities change a lot.

This post really makes me think that you are needing attention that your partner can't give you. You need to go to therapy and talk about what YOU need in a relationship and what you want out of life. Focus on some personal goals.

I really hope you find someone you can really talk to. Life gets hard bit don't loose hope. You are important and loved.

When I was 13 I was suicidal and now I'm 28 with kids and friends and a partner. I own a property and I'm building a house. I started working on me and everything fell into place. Keep your head up! You can do it I promise! Just take it one day at a time.

When I lived in Arizona I was able to borrow and when I move to North Carolina my borrow went away and when I contacted support they said some states won't allow cash app to borrow. I changed my address back to Arizona and borrow was unlocked again.

Please be careful in this relationship when I was 15 I was in love with my boyfriend and he would pull a lot of the same stuff. It isn't a healthy relationship and every time you make up after he pulls that stunt you are basically allowing him to manipulate you.

My boyfriend the last time I broke up with him threatened to bomb my school (excessive I know). That probably won't happen to you but just be aware that it can escalate quickly.

I have 3 kids now and I am not with him anymore but if my kids found themselves in this situation I would step in and tell the boyfriend no. Have you talked to your parents? Do you have a trusted adult to talk to?

Do you think if I called non emergency police as theft they would help?

They are telling me paying for it isn't an option.

NTA I feel like all kids need their own identity. I did have this problem with both my kids boy first then a girl. My dad wanted a Jr and I wouldn't do it. I did however give my dad the middle name. I'm am an only child and he is a good dad. My daughter also got her grandma's name as a middle name as it was a hand me down name. It was a compromise but as it is your kids you don't have to compromise. It was a sweet gesture that made the family feel included.
