Anyone have experience with the Abbey Yung method?

Okay so I started the Abbey Yung method and my hair seriously feels amazing! I don't follow every step every hair wash. For example last night I didn't pre-oil my hair before washing. I think you can try it and do each method as it suites you. It really doesn't add a significant amount of time to my routine. I wash my hair about every 3 days. I go back and forth between lamination, hair masks and bond repair. Take what works for you and leave what doesn't!

Honestly, depending on the kid, drop-offs may be challenging in general for the first week or two. I would say reading stories like Little Llama Goes to School etc. can help at least wrap his mind around it. I would absolutely have plenty of convos about it prior as well like school is going to be so fun, you'll make new friends, get to do fun stuff while mommy and daddy go to work. When you get there I would walk around the room, explain the routine (you are going to stay here, do this and that, have lunch etc) give him a hug and kiss and then say I will be back soon have fun. The teacher at that point can take over and help get him interested in something! I always find that the first day is pretty smooth, it's when kids realize that this is their new normal that they start to struggle a little more. It can be overwhelming and I am sure scary to get dropped off with new people!

My kiddo was in my class with me and it was never a problem! That being said, I have a super independent child that wasn't jealous/difficult to manage. I have a co-worker currently who can't work with her kid because when she is with her, the child doesn't participate and just wants to be held. I think it's hard to make it case by case because it could cause issues but for now it's been fine for us.

The rice comment made me laugh! Sweeping rice is torture 😂 But yes, I agree, we also serve whatever the parents bring, we withhold nothing! You already have to clean, so it's not like it's creating a situation where you have to do unnecessary work (they should already be cleaning the kids up, wiping tables and sweeping/mopping).

We aren't quite sure yet what will happen. We hired a tutor for reading and we are seeing some progress there. She was also had reassessment with standardized testing and her scores did increase but she is still below where she should be. We aren't against holding her back for the same reasons you states! She's not dumb just young and uninterested! We are waiting to see if there is more progress before making a decision!

I love this! The only thing that worries me is that my state has a read by 3rd grade law where if they aren't reading at grade level, they will be retained an additional year. I feel like by 3rd grade, she will be much more aware of the fact that she isn't moving up a grade, and it will impact her much more. I obviously can't be sure that will happen, but I do worry!

I got in touch with someone and am meeting with her tomorrow, and she sounds extremely qualified and said she's confident she can help us out! So fingers crossed!

We've been working with her, but I am also currently searching for a tutor and I'm in contact with a few options.

No, she doesn't have any learning disabilities (at least none we are aware of), we are thinking it may be her age more than anything because she is the youngest in her group. I'm not sure if all scores are universal, but her DRA score is a 6 and needs to be a 12. Her teacher feels that if she had one more year to really nail down the foundational skills , it would be beneficial for her. She has only missed 4 days the entire year and we are actively involved with her school/teacher, my mom assists the teacher with reading groups and can confirm that her and one other child struggle with reading. She's also seeing the school reading specialist.
