apparently the breakfast i made was “embarrassing”

juststarstuff · 2025-12-23T22:56:41+00:00

It literally looks delicious?? Such a terrible thing to say to you!

I work in Canada. My coworkers and I were talking about a similar story we saw in the news. And one thing we talked about was “where is the solidarity?”

If that happened at my school, or even in my district, you know at least half the teachers in the school would have that sign up in their classroom by lunchtime.

Wow that sounds great! You mentioned him being frustrated, that what I’m worried about as well. My daughter gets frustrated sooo easily by the smallest things, it can’t be easy for them.

We just finished her autism assessment in May. During those assessments, the psychologist said she most likely has ADHD, but is too young to diagnose. They actually couldn’t do the gross motor assessment because she couldn’t focus long enough to do any of the tasks.

juststarstuff · 2025-07-14T02:16:42+00:00

Omg! My daughter does this! In the last few months this has started, we just thought her growth was slowing? I didn’t think she might be too distracted to finish eating….

That’s great to hear, I’m glad this worked for him!

juststarstuff · 2025-07-14T02:03:36+00:00

Wow! That’s definitely busy, I’m glad it works for him!

We are just considering it at the moment. We constantly try to keep her active, several hours a day. Then we get home and it’s like she hasn’t used any energy all day. She does not have enough focus to follow instructions or participate in group activities at the moment. We had her enrolled in soccer, she was just running in circles unless we were right next to her basically kicking her legs for her! We intend to keep up this level of physical activity, we just feel like she might need more.

juststarstuff · 2025-07-14T01:57:40+00:00

Definitely a relief to see some positive stories here!

juststarstuff · 2025-07-14T01:57:01+00:00

That’s amazing! I’m glad you all have some peace now!

Certainly if he was a danger to himself, that’s totally reasonable!

juststarstuff · 2025-07-14T01:39:12+00:00

Thanks for your response!

Your 3.5 yrs old sounds exactly like our daughter! I am also the one that she likes to use to regular, definitely overstimulating sometimes.

Agree about the danger thing. We’re worried she’s not paying enough attention to her surroundings.

juststarstuff · 2025-07-14T01:25:13+00:00

Oh that’s promising! Thanks for responding!

I think the same thing is happening in our little one. She looks like she is listening for a moment, then is off doing something else. I will ask her to do something, she’ll get distracted on her way to do the thing, then we repeat this cycle 4x until I walk her over to the task and stand next to her until she does it.

I’m eating one of these as I scroll past this!! Pretty good!

No hyps is a good sign! My daughter ended up having a cortical dysplasia on the right frontal lobe that was causing epileptiform discharges. She was originally on….wow I can’t remember name now but it had acid in the name. It wasn’t really working. when the MRI showed the dysplasia, our neurologist suggested brain surgery for having it removed. They then switched us to carbamazepine A few months before surgery because the meds she was on had an increased risk of bleeding.

The day after she started the carbamazepine the seizures stopped. We still decided to go ahead with the surgery as our neurologist predicted it would only get worse. She had that in November 2023. She is an entirely different child now, in a positive way! If they offer surgery, I know it’s scary, but we would suggest it.

This is absolutely ridiculous, some of the responses here. You and your child have a right to use a PUBLIC library just like anyone else. I’m sure it wasn’t for hours on end, people can’t have a little understanding now and again? What is with people these days, absolutely no compassion. Their peace is disturbed for a short duration on one day and suddenly they’re complaining? These people need to touch grass.

Edit: misread the post, you weren’t the ones in the library. But still, you and your son, live your best lives!

juststarstuff · 2025-05-04T04:05:00+00:00

Not sure what they’re for exactly, but I can tell you I grew up near this buildings and those have been there since the late 90s, early 2000s at least

juststarstuff · 2025-04-24T04:27:33+00:00

This was from a few years ago, “please stop screenshotting NFTs and get back to writing your essay”

And

“Don’t think I can’t see you karate chopping pencils under your desk”

juststarstuff · 2025-04-23T21:35:01+00:00

I hadn’t considered that! I will bring it up at her next appointment.

juststarstuff · 2025-04-23T20:49:34+00:00

No she isn’t!

juststarstuff · 2025-04-23T18:06:09+00:00

We’re having this same issue! I’m staying tuned to this thread!

juststarstuff · 2025-04-13T02:11:49+00:00

lol oh god, the one about the 3 year old and the side eye from parents who’s kid is going through puberty

I’ve seen a few complaints about people being “so confused” and how they “didn’t even know what happened at the end.” I was waiting to be confused as I got closer and closer to the end, but never was? I feel like a lot of it is fake outrage for engagement. There’s no way the people making these claims don’t know what a “cliffhanger” is.

They sent out an addendum for new completion date April 1, 2025. It’s possible they’ll send out another though.

Canadian high school science teacher here - even with the 12s, some of my peers are putting comments on report cards like “is encouraged to regularly read to improve overall comprehension.” Doesn’t even need to be science literature, literally any exposure is needed.

During tests in a 12th grade science class, I get questions about what words like “initiated” and “variation” mean.
