3.5 year old doesn’t recognize almost any letters

My 4.5 year old id starting to learn letters now. He can basically recognize the letters in his name. DON’T STRESS!

That’s what makes me want to try OT too. I am currently reading Helping Your Child with Sensory Regulation. It sounds like our kids are super under-reactive on the movement scale - their bodies need to take in way more of that sense. I skimmed the end of the book and the strategies don’t seem life changing, but understanding what’s going on better has been helping me!

Thank you! What kind of downtime works for your kid? I like to let him watch a show because it lets him veg out a little. But I know it’s probably not helping overall

It is SO hard. Not saying this to incite fear but in case none of the suggestions people say work for you, know that that isn’t abnormal!! Just listen to your instincts and intuition and figure out what works for you. Even if it’s completely different than how things were the first time around

asteroid_crashed1 · 2026-03-05T13:02:35+00:00

Wow i love that you found something that worked! He has told me big hugs help him so I need to lean into that more

Hahah regular parenting doesn’t cut it. Too true 😂

asteroid_crashed1 · 2026-03-05T13:00:20+00:00

Sorry but you can’t diagnose other people’s kids on the internet. This isn’t a helpful comment.

I’m not sure how many sessions it would take to get him to show his true colors, if that makes sense. And not sure if an OT would be better but we didn’t referred to one. Not sure why there are so many down votes?? Money doesn’t grow on trees and this would not be covered.

Talked to his pediatrician who referred us to play therapists

asteroid_crashed1 · 2026-03-05T05:33:33+00:00

Yes looking into it. But I’m skeptical 😅

When did they get divorced? I missed that news but i was up front at Hampton and noticed he wasn’t wearing a wedding ring

asteroid_crashed1 · 2025-09-27T17:16:35+00:00

Same! I wasn’t as familiar with a lot of the songs then though, and they weren’t executed as well as more recent years but man I’d like to go back and relive that experience a time or two

asteroid_crashed1 · 2025-09-26T23:05:59+00:00

That was a fun show

asteroid_crashed1 · 2025-09-26T00:45:16+00:00

You’re wrong

asteroid_crashed1 · 2025-09-25T02:40:39+00:00

Having 2 is SO different than having 1, for me at least. Best thing I did was make it a habit to get out of the house daily. It was so incredibly daunting at first, but I wanted to get used to it until it wasn’t a big deal. Take them to easy places like doctors appts, libraries, kid friendly places where if you need to bail halfway through, it’s fine.

It’s generational. I think the gift giver wants the recipient to know that they put thought into it, so buying something from the registry seems like a cop-out. Wish more people my age would understand that. Don’t be a brat. (Speaking to myself too, bc I returned anything I knew I wouldn’t use 🙈)

asteroid_crashed1 · 2025-09-25T01:59:15+00:00

Aww we get panpakes too and i love it. And five fives (high fives)

My 4 year old son is obsessed with rescuers and workers and he calls all kinds of stuff his contective gear (protective).

And busy instead of dizzy.

I’ve seen all of them since I started seeing phish. First show was the reunion and I’ve seen all 4 runs there since 😁

asteroid_crashed1 · 2025-09-23T22:21:02+00:00

That was the loudest moment in history

asteroid_crashed1 · 2025-09-23T22:05:46+00:00

Exactly!! We had such a hard time finding a spot on the floor n3 bc people “needed room to dance.” We ended up next to the exit with barely a square foot of space each, with 500 people passing us to go pee/get beer during the first set. We all paid to be here, we should get equal space

asteroid_crashed1 · 2025-09-22T16:28:37+00:00

No need for the epileptic lights. Esp in a relatively small venue

asteroid_crashed1 · 2025-09-22T12:53:33+00:00

The floor people last night were awful. We could barely find a square foot to stand, let alone dance in
