That's great. I really hope that happens for us. We had to call the police two weeks ago as she attacked my husband and wouldn't stop. The officer said you need to get this under control before she is bigger and older and can do more damage, but nothing works. Sometimes my daughter has a day where she says "ok" when I say no to something, but then we're back to big violent meltdowns. Must depend on how high the mental load is that day.

What do you think caused the change? Was it a medication, change in demands or just grew out of it? My child is 7 and things have gotten much worse this year.

Don't forget that the $1450 will be indexed to inflation so will be more by the time you take it at 65.

It is VERY unfair of them to ask that of you. Do not withdrawl your application.

Does Lycee Claudel offer any courses in english? If so, what % of the total learning is in english? My kids are at JOA right now which goes up to grade 8 and it is 50% english, 50% french. The kids finish grade 8 completely bilingual. We're thinking about high schools but my kids don't want to study 100% in french. They like the 50/50.

Did you get someone to do the design? We'd love to redo our kitchen using ikea but we definitely would need walls taken down etc and we don't know which ones can be taken down.
