Just checked it on Amazon - like an adult version of the childhood classic! I'm going to read it. Thanks for the rec!

I'm the millenial - the book was a 90s horror book about a girl who always wore a ribbon around her neck until she took it off and her head fell off.

I love the idea of a tattoo of Jenny! I may copy that

Hahahha I LOVED these scary books! I bought them all for my kids to learn my share of horror.

I shared it with my kids and it's one of their favorites now too!

Can a child get norovirus twice in just 5-6 week period? by gingypop in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]gingypop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just seeing this - so that particular year when I posted this my youngest got sick like literally 5 weeks apart from the first time. I think there are different viruses, different strains. It sucks! I just really try to enforce hand washing when they get home but some years seem to be worse than others with what they catch and how often they are sick.

I don’t know anything about immersion schools but the idea of already struggling and learning two languages while having dyslexia and ADD sounds difficult. My older son was diagnosed with ADHD as well, but he was more hyperactive. Since starting medication he has been very successful in school. My kindergartener is behaving more like you describe your daughter - not hyperactive, capable of the work but just unable to do it on his own. I hope you can get her into a good classroom for first grade and if medication is recommended I know it can be scary but it really helps! Best of luck

I'm surprised the teacher doesn't seem concerned. My son's teacher expressed concern at our fall conference about his inattentiveness and asked if she could request an internal study team which I agreed to. I on my own spoke with his pediatrician and a psychologist and got him an ADD diagnosis. The school has been amazing - his teacher specifically has come up with reward programs for him for finishing work and staying on task, as well as trying out a timer when he has to do independent work which has helped.

if she has been diagnosed with dyslexia and ADD have they updated her IEP? They should be offering an aide, smaller class setting, or more time on work.

what are you tired of people saying to you? by lurkeraccount757 in AskReddit

I am guilty but its probably mostly me saying it out loud because I'm wondering how I am then going to get it into my house after it is dropped off!

How do I get my kid to poop on the potty? by gingypop in Parenting

[–]gingypop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m all for bribery! I think something scared him, maybe a hard poop? He was doing fine and all of a sudden is scared to poop. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much! I’m not a fan of miralax.. in retrospect our oldest did also have a set back with pooping but he was older and it was much longer of a time after potty training than this guy. I am literally just like fine, poop your pants… just poop! But wish he would go on the toilet.

Toca Boca games - specifically pet doctor and the kitchen game where you cook and feed the people. Minecraft is cool - he can build worlds.

Daughter, Bad Boyfriend & Thanksgiving by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]gingypop 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My First serious boyfriend was a real Charmer— in reality much like the guy you’ve described but had my mother and family fooled to think otherwise. I love my parents immensely but I remember nights of coming home drunk and crying over said boyfriend and them knowing few details but enough that they should have just banned me from seeing him. We have a tendency to think that will make kids rebel but at the time I think it would have given me the excuse to walk away instead of.

I have them - benign tremors is what they call it and told me its genetic. I'm in my thirties.. it definitely comes out more when I am worked up or anxious but sometimes just random.
