How we approach our kids will affect them for the rest of their lives!
Last year, I had Erik and Jeanie on my radio show to talk about their journey through getting the medical diagnosis for their son, Graham. Autism Like; Graham’s Story Interview with Erik Linthorst So many of their son’s behaviors are like my own daughter’s behaviors and we have struggled to put a definite name to her […]
I drew #8 and #3 from the comments listed on the post about my review of Like Stars on Earth which you can see here. #8 is Suzanne #3 is Darleen Cox If I have had no response to my email within 2 days, new winners will be picked. Please email me with your mailing […]
This film brought me to tears. Several times. The misunderstood child breaks my heart thanks to the experience I’ve had with my own daughters. * I am writing the review while watching the film, so follow along. This story is not one for young children though my 8 yr old daughter did enjoy the music. It […]
I was offered the opportunity to review the home and family articles from Article Alley. At first I was unsure because in my experience many of the article submission sites are full of repeated false information. If not false, it’s often just misleading. So, I took a look and am pleasantly surprised. There were pages worth […]
About 2 weeks ago I got a call oen a Sunday evening from someone who said they were with our local charity organization that supplies food and gifts for the less fortunate during the holidays. She said my daughter’s name had been suggested as a family who might benefit from the supplies which included food […]
So, today I talked with a coach about why my business has fallen apart. I blame it on my children. Isn’t that convenient? Anyway, I explained that before this last year, I had no outside help for Nove. No group, no camp, no case managers and counselors…… And I had all kinds of Time! Now, […]
Are they working? The anti-anxiety meds I don’t know exactly. I’ve seen a different child in the mornings this week, but (it’s a BIG but) she goes through stages anyway. So, maybe she’s really bi-polar and just on the upside of the roller coaster? Or, maybe the medicine is working……. Your guess is as good […]
I took Nove to the doctor yesterday after months of discussion and worry. We talked to the doctor about having her start on anti-anxiety meds. She’s only 8 but has strong anxiety about everything. I assume it is part of her autism. There may be some ADD also, but we have to start with one […]
I asked to test and write a review on this product for a couple of reasons. Nove has trouble understanding what day comes next, and weeks or months are even more troublesome for her. My hope was that this type of system which not only allows for future viewing like a typical calendar does- it […]
I still had to pretty much drag Nove out of bed, but at least it wasn’t a fight. She was being very clingy so she had to hug me as I tried to walk us into the living room. Then, she wanted help (no, she wanted me to do it all!) with getting dressed. But, […]
