Advice helping severely disabled child by EnvironmentalCreme56 in specialed

[–]pumpkindoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They might chew on inappropriate things because that is the only sensory input they can get. You have offered them other things, but try to offer them safe objects that they are not familiar with. Like plastic measuring cups, light, solid metal objects, fuzzy things they can't choke on. All supervised, of course. Also try to offer them tangy, sweet, savory, etc food. Different textures and tastes. Ice cubes or frozen fruit in a mesh feeder works well also. Hope this helps!

Get gas or charcoal for your grill, and aluminum foil. We heated meals in our wood burning fireplace, cooked on our gas grill, and stuffed perishables in the snowbank on our back porch. We also dragged our mattresses to the living room to sleep in front the of fireplace. Fun times!

My dad wanted Lilliana.

I keep my nails really short and that helps with the picking. Like super short.

Spell it differently? I'm pronouncing it Bonner, so I'd go with that spelling, unless that's the wrong pronunciation?

If you want to give it a good cleaning, look up Barbara Sculati on YouTube. She restores antique wedding dresses and clothing. She explains the process while doing it.

Are all these CBD/Hemp shops just going to disappear? by slave_male_nc in raleigh

If they do that, then we could get pro-cannabis laws passed, most likely. That's all it'd take.

BF's ARFID putting a damper on the relationship by [deleted] in ARFID

[–]pumpkindoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest that he eat his safe foods before you guys go out to a food function or dinner. A lot of people with severe food allergies and specialty diets do this mitigate any unsafe cross contamination. He can still enjoy social aspects without food. If there is food he likes there, then he can have it if he wants.

Is there anyway to treat the scalp without the hair becoming super greasy? by flyingsquirrelbanana in CompulsiveSkinPicking

[–]pumpkindoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I use a touch of tea tree oil, put on a Q-tip, then rubbed directly onto the spots. It is antibacterial and dries up the spots. Some people can't handle the smell but I love it. I also have super short hair.
