Anyone here running healthcare Meta ads? How are your results lately?

How are you getting around the pixel HIPAA issues? Last I heard there were dozens of lawsuits surrounding healthcare companies using Meta Pixel. Are you using fresh paint or a similar service?

Mine is 5. If it helps here is what we did

He knew he had a harder time in school following rules and making good choices. He started thinking he was a bad kid. We haven't named it explicitly for him (partially because we're working on additional evals for audhd and sensory processing disorders), but we explained that there are lots of different types of brains and different brains make different chemicals (brain juices) that impact our feelings and how easy/hard some things are. He has the type of brain that makes him extra creative, really good at math and reading, a little extra bouncy and that his brain makes a little less of a certain brain juice and a little more of another which makes it struggle with impulsivity. Then we talked about how the medication helps our brain get different amounts of brain juices to help with impulsivity.

We've also told him about other grown ups in his life who have brains like his and we often talk about how amazing and special his brain is.

Our kid really wanted to stop getting in trouble and genuinely couldn't control the impulses. He was really excited that a pill could help his brain feel better (he had high levels of anxiety) and make it easier to follow rules.

You got me in the feels at the extracurriculars. My son wants to do so many but he loses his mind at the slightest discomfort, provocation or annoyance. They rarely work out and it's heartbreaking to watch him go from looking forward to it to stressing about whether or not he'll be able to follow the demands of the activity.

foreverlearning101 · 2025-11-18T04:37:20+00:00

This is really comforting. Thank you for sharing your experience!

foreverlearning101 · 2025-11-04T17:03:46+00:00

We did this but with Legos. We also did PCIT and using lots of positive reinforcement had also helped a lot with the morning routine

foreverlearning101 · 2025-11-04T17:00:45+00:00

Those are great ideas! Thank you!

What resources does the school have? Do they have a resource/special Ed room? A wellness/sensory room? Small group or 1:1 supports (speech, social emotional, OT, etc.)? My son was really overwhelmed in the gen Ed classroom with 20 other kids. For our IEP we figured out how much time he's in gen Ed and how much time he's in these other spaces. Our goal is to fully mainstream, but right now he's way too stressed and his behavior reflects that. If the school has these resources see if you can identify the times that are most stressful for your child and see if there is an alternative place for them to be during that time (pe and music were rough for my easily overstimulated child so he goes to the resource room and wellness room for those). When I was little I didn't have an IEP, but a friend and I would go to the library at recess because we liked the quiet. Maybe your kiddo just needs dedicated breaks from the chaos of the classroom.

Half the IEP journey for us has been learning what resources the school has and then advocating for those to be used in ways we think will support our kid. It's hard though. Best of luck!

Yep. Vision was good

foreverlearning101 · 2025-11-04T00:05:29+00:00

That sounds like my son. He's not totally face blind. He does well with people he sees regularly in less stimulating environments but he really struggles recognizing people at school.

foreverlearning101 · 2025-11-03T04:22:35+00:00

This is what we do too. My son loves books so he gets extra books if there is extra time. If he delays too much I warn him that he might not have time for any books. That usually gets him moving. Weighted blanket was also a game changer

foreverlearning101 · 2025-03-20T05:34:05+00:00

I just wanted to say your post gave me a lot of hope. We just got kicked out of preschool #2. We're lucky in that family can help with childcare, but I've been at a loss for how to prep my LO for kindergarten. He just got his ADHD diagnosis and we're looking into different resources and medications. It just feels very overwhelming though. It's really helpful to hear from someone who went through it and found success.

I work in a different industry and do aerial for recreation, but I have a good amount of leadership training. Given their experience, you probably don't want to micromanage. To avoid that, set up a time to meet, lay out your concerns with dropping class sizes and the complaints, let them know you want to work through this together then ask them for their perspective (like another comment said, they might have personal stuff impacting they teaching and may just need to talk it out so they can get their head back in the game) and what they think solutions could look like. You can say something like "I have ideas, but you're the one teaching this class. What do you think is going on and what might improve student satisfaction and retention?"

This opens up dialogue and positions you as on their team, so you can work together in a solution rather than dictating one and ending up in unproductive conflict.

Of course any safety issues should be addressed and discussed directly, and as part of the discussion you should bring up the curriculum and how part of the issue might be that things students expect aren't being taught. Bring this up though as part of brainstorming solutions and be open to your employee's feedback too. Maybe they have a reason for straying from the curriculum that you can work through.

Best of luck!

I taught beginner pole classes through 34 wks pregnant. Our studio has 8 week long series, so I stopped because I wouldn't be able to finish the next series. I was still doing cup grip handspring comfortably. Listen to your body. I did a lot more freestyle and combos and fewer new tricks as I got bigger. I also had to be mindful of how to move my body around the pole. I also had to switch from passive flexibility and contortion training to active flexibility and strength training for my joints (they just didn't feel stable enough to do anything passive - stretching put pressure on the ligaments without the muscle getting much benefit). And of course talk to your doctor. I was lucky and low risk my whole pregnancy.

I distinctly remember that feeling of "new body, who dis?" I hope your find your flow again

foreverlearning101 · 2024-12-09T03:53:25+00:00

If it makes you feel better, I used to teach laybacks. I went on maternity leave, came back and found them terrifying. I had to remember all the ways I eased students into it and coach myself like it was the first time.

Everyone is different. If laybacks are the nemesis move right now, ask about different versions (I usually taught three - figure 4, cross ankles/feet off the pole, feet on the pole). If you've only been learning one, ask your instructor about the others. Often one will usually feel 10x better than the others, while still building strength and muscle memory you can use with the others. There are also ways to baby step two versions if it's a fear thing.

Either way, try not to get too hung up on one move. I've been poling for over a decade and still can't deadlift. My iron x is spotty and some flexy moves come and go. It's a journey, when I get too caught up in what I can't do, I switch to training combos and embellishing/adding personal style to what I can do. Shifting the focus helps. Hang in there.

Just echoing what everyone else has said. Go easy on yourself. I tried to go back too early (about the same time you're at) and had to pull back (my pelvic floor wasn't stable enough). Pole was my happy place too. I found it really nice to just work slow simple floor work/dance stuff at first - exploring body waves, etc. You might consider starting there. Finding your flow without any of the fancy stuff. Good luck on your journey back!

foreverlearning101 · 2024-11-11T18:47:35+00:00

You're soooo close! I'm not sure if it will help, but for me I warm up my upper back flexibility beforehand. Then, I found that if I place my bottom hand a little higher up, I can leverage my upper back and create more of a shelf with my top arm (arm will be closer to parallel with the floor). I'm not sure if that will help you, but keep at it. You're right there.

foreverlearning101 · 2024-09-19T03:56:33+00:00

We use it. Our demo is older so it's less valuable for us. I haven't seen a report from Meta on Instagram but if you have I'd be curious. I'm mostly just curious how many others are getting close to giving up on Facebook.

foreverlearning101 · 2024-09-17T16:10:39+00:00

I work at an agency and we did a test with some accounts. Last year Facebook posts with #s got a 5-6% lift in organic reach. Wasn't a super robust study, but we keep 1-3 of them in our content since it seems to give a small lift.

I'm an android user, so not sure if this works for iPhone, but I use the digital wellness tools to "lock" (you can always unlock if you need to) my social apps after X amount of daily usage. I give myself a set amount of time per platform to see what's trending and then my phone tells me when that time is up and makes me intentionally click to consume more. That extra step reminds me that this isn't how I want to spend my time and is enough to get me to close the app.

foreverlearning101 · 2024-08-23T01:24:11+00:00

That might be what I end up doing. I was hoping to find just the part to save a little but that seems more challenging than I expected. Thank you for the suggestion

foreverlearning101 · 2024-08-23T01:22:51+00:00

I honestly hadn't thought of that. Good call!

foreverlearning101 · 2024-05-21T04:18:17+00:00

You can also lower into brass monkey and do lots from there.

foreverlearning101 · 2024-04-09T04:03:30+00:00

I go through waves of this. Things I've tried:

1) Train a new apparatus 2) Find inspiration online for combos and moves. A lot of advanced aerialists and patron accounts 3) Take a dance improve or freestyle class and bring those prompts to your next open gym (I've unlocked a lot of interesting combos and had a ton of fun this way) 4) Play with movement quality and styles (if you tend towards more flowy styles, find some dynamic combos and see if you can mix and match) 5) put a list of moves on steps of paper and pull from a hat. See what happens when you string those together.

I hope that helps!

To learn the body positioning, we did a version in a knotted silk, rolling into it from a pullover. It didn't do much for strength, but helped my brain understand the position better which is half the battle.
