  1. Oh Laurie! I already bought mine ... wish I knew someone looking for a ticket!

     

    Ladies, if you're looking, Laurie's awesome! I bought a ticket from her several years ago!

     

    Aww, thanks Lady Dusk! After I sold my ticket to you, I bought another one, and was able to attend the conference that year after all. I don't think that will happen this year :tongue_smilie:Fortunately, I was able to sell it to another board member just this morning. :001_smile:

  2. you could also include "coupons" (perhaps inside of plastic eggs) for special things you're willing to do for them like transportation to a friend's house, a sleepover with a friend (at your house or the friend's depending upon your family values), a special meal or treat that you will prepare upon request (with reasonable notice), etc. You could select something that would be meaningful to each of your dc, but inexpensive.

     

    Or you could write a special note to each of them and place it inside of an egg.

    It goes without saying, because cocoa is good for us. It's natural. It comes from beans. And we all know that beans are healthy. Every health book says we should eat a lot of beans, and we should also eat rice. That's why Nestle Crunch bars are so nutritious. Beans + Rice = Super Healthy Food Combination.

     

    I don't like to brag, but I'm really good at all this healthy eating stuff.

     

    :lol:

  4. After doing a TON of research, speaking to NFB providers, speaking to those who sell the equipment, and researching different types of training/equipment, we actually bout all our own. The first round of equipment won't really help dd, the second will, only after extensive training. I just talked to dh about this today and told him it's time to start to budget for this. I hope there are still people who can train us within a cole of hours.

     

    After all I read, I'm confident we could do this after learning how to treat from a SPECT scan.

     

    What kind of equipment do you have?

  5. My heart is touched by your story :grouphug:

     

    When you search for a therapist, please try to find someone who is familiar with neurofeedback. I haven't read the entire thread, so please forgive me if this has already been suggested.

     

    There is compelling research which suggests that kids with attachment disorders have brains that respond quite differently than "typical" brains; certain areas of the brain have less cerebral blood flow than needed; using neurofeedback, which is a non-invasive form of biofeedback, the kids can learn to increase cerebral blood flow in real time. It's amazing to watch, and the treatment effects are typically sustained over time (this is called hemoencephalography based training). Other forms of training are based upon EEG data (specifically QEEG data, which includes a quantitative analysis - hence the Q) which measures the electrical activity in the brain. Again, kids can be trained to literally change their own brain waves - the research on neurofeedback is very encouraging, and it can be very helpful for kids who are compromised in areas of the brain related to social pragmatics - which includes interpreting, processing and responding to social cues, as well as self regulation. In fact, at it's most basic level, neurofeedback training is self regulation training. PM me or reply below if you have questions. My heart goes out to you and your family.
