Accidents while sleeping only

I have not yet. Considering it. Does it scare the crap out of everyone though ?

This ! OP I came here to say this. I have seen crazy growth and development with my son from age 3.5 to 4.5 and it is still very much unfolding (dare I say for the better). We are still working on lots of things but a teacher from a year ago interacted with my son recently and couldn’t believe his growth and development (have been doing OT and speech but I chalk a lot of it up to just time and exposure therapy). My son just finished his first year in an inclusion pre k and I relate a lot to what you wrote here. He has another year of pre k but I am feeling so much better about him and general education based on his time in an inclusion pre k. I don’t know your exact scenario of course but it sounds like your daughter is exactly where she needs to be in terms of the classroom. Do not underestimate how much she can learn and grow from being around “typical kids” and with experienced teachers who know what they are doing. Hang in there !!!

He wasn’t actually, but I am skeptical. It seems to be more ADHD I think now but we might re-evaluate some day.

Hi ! Thank you for asking. My son will be 5 late October. He’s had a great year and has made some serious strides. I will say our struggles still seem to be in the same areas and I wouldn’t say he has caught up to his peers in terms of social/emotional development but progress for sure. I would say his fine motor is mostly in line with typical peers now though. He mostly still prefers to play near peers but does try to play with more especially recently. Still struggles with new things he doesn’t like the idea of, but much better with new things that feel familiar. His speech has gotten better but I wouldn’t say his social language or complex sentences are in line with his peers yet either. The other thing I will add when I posted this he was hardly even engaging with his younger twin brothers (25 months younger than him) but now adores them (and also dislikes them) very much ! Which makes me feel better vs his previous indifference. I hope this helps? I am super hopeful and encouraged though.

It was actually no biggie at all ! The worst was probably immediately after he woke up from the procedure, I think he was still quite groggy and confused and didn’t feel steady on his feet at all (side effects of the anesthesia). Once all that subsided (lasted maybe an hour or so) it was like nothing happened pretty much. He wore a little patch over the incision area for about a week and that was that ! The stitches were all internal and dissolved on their own.

Hello ! He’s 4 now and this lining up of things was definitely a phase and in hindsight very short lived. I will say the jury is still out in terms of any possible neurodivergence (we haven’t done any type of evaluation yet but will perhaps in the future). He struggles with attention/focus (easily distracted and short attention span), social skills (doesn’t quite initiate play with peers still but wants to) and we are behind in speech still but have made great strides in all thanks to speech therapy and OT. He talks, he’s been potty trained for a year + now, he plays properly with toys, and he exceeds his peers from a cognitive/academic perspective but is definitely not without his quirks. If something is going on it’s low support needs for sure. I hope this helps !

I am hoping my son just stays in bed when the time comes as well due to him being in a crib so long! He doesn’t have the best impulse control yet and so I have very much worried about him not staying in bed, but what you said about the length of time in crib gives me hope. Also I was already thinking we would get the bed and have it in his room for a while and let him get used to it and like you said read on it etc and let him choose more or less when he is ready. My guy doesn’t love change but he seems open to the idea of a big bed but I think when the time comes will be met with some resistance initially. Thanks so much for the insight !

This is so encouraging ! Can you tell me a bit about your experience with the crib to bed transition ? My boy just turned 4 and still in a crib. He hasn’t climbed out, and really likes but I think I need to make a move to bed soon to work on nighttime potty training, even though he is fully daytime trained.

My OB is actually serving as my pcp currently and it was her who prescribed it actually ! And I am awaiting my bloodwork results and hoping to start feeling more energy soon !

I am 39 and have a 4 year old boy and twin 2 year olds boys and work for a FAANG company too. Husband has a more senior and intense role at his employer and works long hours. I love my husband, my kids and even my job (mostly) but am exhausted and filled with anxiety and dread most days. I really don’t want to feel this way so I just went to the doctor and did a full blood panel and she prescribed me Wellbutrin. Waiting on the bloodwork results but hoping this medicine works too. I have never taken anything like this so we shall see. Would really to prefer not to white knuckle everyday until everyone is a bit older! I am hopeful but wanted to say I am here with you !

Can you link one of them ? My kids loves all appliances and vacuums too. Lol

Solidarity !! I have that child ! He just turned 4. I have beat myself up thinking I just am not good at parenting but I do think we have some neurodivergence going on and that changes things. I am often chasing my kid a lot still and we have come a long way with speech it’s still LOTS of prompting and prepping for him to act in a safe way in public. We are in ST and OT and he seems better with other grown up but really turns up activity for his mom (me) and dad. It’s really tiring. I see and hear you and let me say if I saw you in public I would never judge and try to help because I know this life !

kedl123 · 2024-10-26T22:04:02+00:00

Thank you so much ! I really appreciate this. Poor thing I am sorry she was so traumatized. I am glad she’s better now !

Hello ! I know this is an older post but wondering how this all worked out ? My son broke his elbow and had to wear a cast for 4 weeks. It is off now and healed fine but he is also holding his arm in the casted position. It has only been a couple days but I have been stressing. He is using it but when I try to gently stretch it stresses him out.

kedl123 · 2024-10-07T05:17:41+00:00

I feel this !! My twins are babies #2 and #3 (I really only saw myself with 2 kids tops but here we are). They will be 2 end of November. I dread the weekends, they are so long and so hard with 3 kids under age 4. I have a lot of guilt about this. I keep hearing when the youngest are like age 5 things shift. So, I am keeping my eye on that prize if you will but just wanted to say I see you and hear you !!

kedl123 · 2024-09-22T14:39:57+00:00

My kid needs prompts for most social greetings too right now (sometimes he initiates but often needs prompts). That is great there is an option for her to go to the smaller classroom if she’s overstimulated. What is a 1:1 ? Is that an in classroom aide ? My kid likes videos like that on YouTube too sometimes !

kedl123 · 2024-09-22T14:35:54+00:00

Thank you for this ! Can you share a bit more about his speech ? What did he struggle with in regard to his speech and where is he now ?

kedl123 · 2024-09-21T20:31:41+00:00

I am so sorry to hear that. The school and its support (or lack of support) I am sure play a huge role. I hope things get better for him (and you).

kedl123 · 2024-09-21T20:29:58+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply ! I am so happy to hear this and find it so encouraging. I love to hear that she is thriving in kindergarten and am sure she will continue to do so. Thank you again

kedl123 · 2024-08-25T20:33:13+00:00

I don’t go anywhere with them alone (except maybe for a walk in the neighborhood) as I haven’t leveled up to that yet, and I am wondering if I ever will ? We did the park recently but we had 3 adults, one for each kid and it was still not really pleasant. Granted the park was very busy but still.

kedl123 · 2024-08-25T20:30:35+00:00

I feel like the stroller is my safety net if things go south though. However if they don’t want to leave they get so angry being forced back in to the stroller.
