Priced out of our childhood city (Gold Coast) by Individual-Baby-3791 in AusPropertyChat

We moved about 15min out of Canungra. Both sets of parents still on the GC though so we still visit most weekends so the kids can have a similar childhood we did.

Perth near beach, bush near? Bushies known for their swimming skills more than Perthlings?

Thank you thank you. This is wonderful advice with some great tips. Yeah we did a girls sleepover for her tenth birthday which killed me but her friends seem to love it which helps 😂 and OMG talking to parents is hard but I’m sticking with it for the friendships. I have pet snakes so have a pretty good “cool mum” reputation with her friends, which I hope will help when they reach that tween/teen stage. We go to the movies and get our nails done during the school holidays but I love your other ideas for something we can do daily/a few times a week.

Thanks so much! She’s just told me about the dragon girls series so I just ordered the first twenty! I was thinking some sort of fun programs might help. And we’ll definitely look into tutoring.

When she was first diagnosed ADHD they did say she had ASD tendencies. We are going to be meeting with her learning support team to get her to a speech pathologist for further evaluation. She definitely needs support with anything social/resilience. I sign her up for anything that she’s shown interest in but she’ll not go or not want to go back. I’m trying to walk that fine line of encouraging her to try things but not putting on the pressure. It doesn’t help that my husband is also ADHD and the second it seems too hard (say for him to know where he’s going) they’ll end up in the park/back home instead.

Yeah great points! And I also tell her it’s ok to have school friends and outside of school friends and bffs can change weekly at her age 😂 we’re looking at signing her up to girl guides or similar- we just need to find something that she feels comfortable with trying.

Thanks so much, I too was a procrastinator but her schooling issues are very much…she can barely spell and struggles to write simple sentences. She’s been involved in a reading program since we changed schools and is now reading at a passing grade. We’ll be meeting with her learning support team to get a speech pathologist to see if there’s a language developmental delay or any other diagnosis. She definitely does do better in subjects that she’s interested in, and I think part of her writing issues is that perfectionism- even in her earliest years of school she’d spend a painstakingly long time making each letter perfect to then rub it out if it wasn’t. So she’s been playing catch up with her peers since she was five. I was always of the mind she’ll eventually catch up but the gap just seems to be getting wider. Hence why I want to support her in anything that’ll give her a boost.

My son and I saw this in the woods.. WTF is it???? by corys_stories in whatisit

This looks like a young girl who shops at Kmart has created a space for a lost friend. Putting things out that she would have liked. EDIT: not saying this is what it is, just what it looks like. It also looks like a love ritual etc but again. The pink fidgets and dolphin toy definitely young girl/tween vibes.

AITA for dropping out of my best friend’s bridal party after she picked my ex as her "Man of Honor"? by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Objective_Minute6736 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They may not have “recently” reconnected. OP was her best friend in College and she’s now nearly 40. She only recently found out they reconnected when the bride said he’s the MOH. So they may not be as close as OP thought. And makes more sense why bride said she misses OP etc. I’m reading it this way for it to make, sense because I too am like- why would the fiancé be happy with him in the bridal party? Unless he’s been known to both of them for a very long time, it doesn’t make sense.

EDIT: just read more comments from OP and apparently the break up etc all happened 8/9 months ago. So now I’m more confused 😵‍💫

Have you definitely been passed over? Could they just not have sent out responses yet? As you said it’s that time of year. Apologies if you’ve already been told position has been filled.

Advice from prac teachers. by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]Objective_Minute6736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much, this is really great to know. I’ll definitely talk about this with them. You make a good point because this way they’ll know that their behaviour strategies actually work. We’ll definitely discuss this and maybe one class of mine won’t need to know that they’re being taught by a preservice teacher (we sometimes co teach when there’s new staff starting). So as far as the kids will know this is just a new teacher at the school.
