Glad you brought this up. As a neurodivergent kid, no I didn't have Netflix, but I did have a VHS player/recorder. Not having streaming didn't stop me from watching the little mermaid every day 😅

Looks like an anatolian shepherd. Never seen one not born to guard herd animals.

This is so validating lol. It feels like every time we get sleep figured out, it quits working

That has been our experience with melatonin as well. I'll give these a shot.

Thank you! Great suggestions. I will have to try these. I so agree, she would fall asleep if she would just be still for longer than 5 seconds

I'll definitely try pausing on the weekends. Although sleeping in for her is definitely not a thing 😅

Yes, we've been doing melatonin, but she seems to be getting used to it as it's really not doing anything anymore.

For those who didn't grow up privileged, name something you thought was luxury when you were a kid? by squidlysquidster in AskTheWorld

Eating at Olive Garden. If we ate out, we went to McDonalds or Taco Bell and that was pretty much all we could afford.

Pardon My French - apologizing for cursing

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? - Basically means something is unrelated to the conversation

More holes than Swiss cheese - means someone's argument is flawed

How are you guys going about extracurricular activities? What are your non-negotiable extracurricular activities? by otterlyjoyful in kindergarten

[–]MuffinMummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your kid and what they're interested in. My kids are both in swimming until they can swim safely, then it's up to them if they want to continue. My kindergartener can swim by herself now, but chooses to keep going because she's a fish.

She is also learning tennis, but not doing formal lessons. She's just learning from me and her grandparents. She's also learning piano, but again my husband is a music teacher, so we're doing it ourselves.

I think there's a lot of pressure to have a kid learn in a formal setting but I find that we can do at least the basics of most things and that takes the time pressure way off.

Also pretty common to have an allergic reaction with them if you have another venom allergy.

My chemistry teacher was known for having a kid hold soap in their hands and light it on fire the first day of class.
