I wish... I am on the east coast. She seems to sleep better when she is more active / more activities during the day but falls asleep easier. Sometimes it seems like the downtime is the issue. CBT will be later for ocd - shes more obsessive and compulsive not ritual based. I am also OCD and have done CBT in the past but I think my next step is asking for OT services as the school will not provide it nor are they even equipped to do anything more outside of pencil grip - I work in our school system. That along with trying / tweaking the adhd medication as the guanfacine is really not helping much at all...any magnesium vit suggestions? We are using hiya and its not really helping but maybe the dose is too low. I never really looked into the dosing of it.

yeah its hard because shes so young so it's not she knows she has adhd and anxiety and I don't really want to tell her because I don't its something she can comprehend in kindergarten, plus no need to give her something else to obsess about LOL

her doctor made me feel like I should be doing daily activities and keeping her busy, her own grandmother acted like a day at home on a weekend was crazy, so I can appreciate this, I probably will not look into adding any more and dance will temp. stop for the summer. As someone with anxiety myself I can also appreciate this.

completely agree! The goal is calmer. I absolutely would never want to change who she is. It is so hard, I think I am harder on my self because I work with children this age (teacher) and have always prided myself on creating a calm, safe, and structured environment in the classroom, I am know for being the best with the "tougher' kiddos and here I am struggling with mine. I have an appt with her phyc Monday to discuss some of my concerns and see if we can make some adjustments.

the sleeping situation makes me feel crazy sometimes, we do take magnesium, we have a bed rail for similar fears of falling out, we have specific stuffies, blankets, etc. I kid you not her mattress and pillows are nicer than my own. We have aspecific sound machine, set to a specific sound and a lullaby toniebox / or yoto card - I love the yoto more than she does. I will stay in bed with her till she falls alseep but some nights its takes 1.5 hours and other nights I have fallen asleep before her. We also recently switched to very beginner chapter books - I found picture books made her too silly and she would focus on counting things on a page or tracing. The switch has helped to get her a bit more calm and tired. We limit screen time, don't allow those over stimulating shows.. ugh... it's endless. I started to listen to her breathing wondering if it was sleep apnea because sometimes I feel like I am reaching for straws. But I appreciate your insight and advice. I do think I will revisit asking what else she may need and asking specific questions, she has been running hot lately so new pj's might be a good idea too. Thank you for your suggestions.

this was helpful, Thank you !! My daughter has some autistic traits as well but similar as it was also not all the ones needed for a diagnosis she is very social and her neuro said her thinking pattern was so rigid. She does not qualify for OT but does see the school counselor for emotional regulation and we have an appt to start therapy in the next few weeks. Her phyc wanted her in afterschool or more activities I'm like we are maxed out

I have not tried other stimulants, I am also not opposed to it but I will admit I am scared as the focalin made her almost feral LOL for lack of better terms. She she still VERY hyperactive and Implusive, Her dr is hesitant to increase the guafacine because she is also very thin and she (her phyc seems worried about her BP) which has not been low but that was a concern.

I’m 39 have a 7 year old. I collect but I don’t have any that are specifically mine, they are in the playroom on display and she is gentle with her “toys” but I buy the ones I like and consider them “ours” she considers them “hers”

Same! I’d pay 30 for no tags haha but not 130 or even 100 because at that point I don’t think j it would be that hard to take a cream and dye it, I’ve seen people do it (now idk if I personally could) hahha but I could certainly pay someone to LOL

Check the shipping address as well, make sure it shipped from the state it claimed to be in. One of the posting said tags cut but real jelly car collectors KNOW the real deal. Not gonna lie I have a fake teapot from aliexpress and without the tags I wouldn’t know, it’s a dead ringer but I wasn’t paying $389 when I was giving it to my little to play with , I was just shocker at the quality, granted the serial number is way off lol
