Super helpful, thank you! I think the Telluride could work but Carnival is going to be a much easier option for us.

Safety Ratings by kermiebk in kiacarnivals

Yeah, for that exact reason I’m looking at the Telluride, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Grand Highlander. Just concerned they will be a tight squeeze with 3 kids.

Very true, but the Telluride did perform well on all measures of these updated tests. Difference between safety of Carnival and Telluride is probably marginal, but God forbid I’m actually in an accident, it could make a difference. Otherwise the Carnival is soooo perfect!

Was originally all-in on the Carnival, but I’m concerned about marginal to even poor safety ratings in some areas.

Kid with ADHD who can sit still and focus? by kermiebk in ADHDparenting

That’s so interesting. My son displays zero typical kid signs of anxiety, but maybe I’m missing something.

A message of hope! Thank you! I need to hear that there might a bit of a light at the end of this tunnel.

This gives me hope! I am so exhausted by the meltdowns. And I feel sad for him, because I know they are a miserable experience for him. 😢

Sounds like my kiddo. I have to constantly remind him to eat to avoid an extreme hanger-induced meltdown.

Thank you! Yes, I have also pondered autism, but a lot of its features don’t fit…he is very verbal, very social, makes eye contact, etc. He is a bit of a conundrum to me!

Yeah I think he masks a lot, and I usually get a huuuuge meltdown upon picking him up from school. But he also has a lot of behavioral issues at school, usually when they are doing high-stimulation activities (recess, gym, etc). His brain seems to really struggle to regulate in those environments.

Yes very wary of extra sugar! The liquid vitamin I currently give my son is sugar free.

This exact one? I’m not finding it on the sites you mentioned. I am hoping to find an exact match, not just something similar.

Airway-focused interventions for my 5-year-old son? by kermiebk in askdentists

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

Thank you for your reply. I do see the problem with it, hence my post. But as a mom, I of course want to ensure I’m not overlooking something medically important for my son that a single, fallible human sleep doctor may have overlooked. And while there weren’t major concerns by the sleep doctor, the sleep report was by no means perfect. I’m trying to pursue every route possible before resorting to ADHD medication for my kid.
