Has your 3 year old improved? What kinds of things do you do to help her?
She was just diagnosed last month but I have found that the more she plays outside in rough and tumble ways makes her so much more amiable to deal with during the day. She is also dairy allergic and one of her symptoms is tummy hurting (followed by vomiting) and before we removed milk she was even worse.

My 3 year old Sensory Processing Disorder (sensory seeker) does the same thing too...so I would look into SPD too. Especially since you said "He is into everything and I try to be positive but I am still always telling him no, stop, don't." That's how I feel about my dd.

Hit: Soccer ball for my dd and the bracelet with all the grandkids names for my mom
Misses: 2 Tiana dolls for DD (she had already gotten a bitty baby)

One thing that one of my friends didn't realize was all the things they had signed up for like registry's, baby tickers/counters and company's they had contacted like Similac. They wished that there was someone who could take them off all the "baby" lists because each time they got something (similac is for a year) they were reminded of the baby they lost. So if you could figure out a way to contact them for her that might help.

Answering the original question...I think teacher's should be making a living wage...in VT I would have qualified for government assistance on what I was offered for teaching...I think if they paid a competitive wage that induced people to do it rather than causing the most talented people to find other jobs that pay better we might be able to start real education...right now there are the ones who really care (they get burned out fast) and the ones that just wanted an easy major with an "easy" job. As someone told me once "You are too smart to be a teacher" and that truly is a mentality out there in education because if you are smart you might as well become and engineer or doctor, or lawyer or any number of things that pay more that 25,000 a year with a cap after PH.D and 20 years working of 56,000.

you mean other than the 12 year old boy that she convinced to help her at the skating rink by holding his hand...yeah she's only 3.

My dd was diagnosed at 2 and when we removed her allergen we thought that would take care of it...FFWD to 1 year later we are in the hospital and she is in breathing distress...she is now on a daily steriod inhaler and albuterol when needed...she is doing really well and we have had very little problems...DS has had breathing issues since birth, diagnosed with reactive airways at 4 months and we have only used a rescue inhaler until this year when he also had distress and I made the doctor see him with the distress...he is now officially diagnosed and also on the daily steriod for the winter. I would keep on your doctor until you have a daily answer. The rescue inhaler is just that a rescue inhaler for the times when its needed...I was told if we are using it more than 2 puffs every 4 hours we needed to be in contact with our Dr or the ER. If your doctor won't then go to a respritory specialist. FYI my children never had low O2 issues just distress, wheezing and grunting.

I get the totally crazy invented spelling thing but my dd's name is a combination of a spanish variation of a popular name and an american popular name (she is part hispanic part African American) and yet people still can't say her name correctly or spell it...my ds's name is also the spanish variation of a very american name. We plan to name a child Emily but spell it Emilie because that is the way my great great grandmother had her name spelled from Germany. So sometimes spelling is not about invention but rather tradition or heritage...still means no one can spell it correctly and that is a pain.

I knew a family that each year would pick a child from the Angel Tree at their local mall and sent that child presents in memory of their child they lost.
-
I know that it has not worked for my dd at all. She has SPD along with who knows what else and honestly has no cause and effect so the idea of her learning through mistakes...well that never happened in the 6 months we did it consistently...so no it really does not work for everyone although it is a deal better than some of the other discipline books I have read.
-
:hugs: I understand what you are going through and I want to tell you that you are not a bad parent! My dd is very similar in that nothing seems to work discipline wise. I used to think that it was all my fault but the OT totally said that it was not bad parenting just that we needed smaller more deliberate parenting like the previous poster.

Setting: Bunk beds Twin A on top bunk Twin B on bottom. Ladder goes down the middle of the beds not at the bottom or top but right in the middle of both mattresses.
Twin A starts down ladder in middle of night and tells Twin B "My tummy..." as hurling starts, through ladder onto Twin B who until then was asleep in her bottom bunk. Twin B goes to mom and says "Sister spit on me"...Mom notices rank smell and discovers the vomit.

The teacher spends 3 weeks out of every quarter/semester meeting and testing every child in their class while the other children are engaged in busy work...It's a pain in the butt and feels like a complete waste of time for the other students.
-
Asthma!!! Persistent cough especially at night sounds just like asthma...now the cause may be just asthma but you might also want to do some allergy testing...my dd's asthma is allergy induced so keeping her from her allergies really helps. Have a respiratory specialist look at your child because regular ped's are not as well versed in it.
-
Frog and Toad is a about a level K to L which is end first beginning second in level...a child would need to have long vowel knowledge, ability to split words into syllables to solve, they are great books though!

I just want to say that while this may be normal, I have a 3 year old that is "out of control" that just 2 weeks ago was told by the OT how in the world was she not diagnosed before she was 3. Everyone else we have ever talked said it was normal and yes a certain level is normal but then there is taking it to the extreme. So if you are concerned I would talk to some one and keep talking until some one takes you seriously. I will say although we have a SPD diagnosis we are still doing more testing to see if there is more or if that is all...but my dd is very defiant and NO discipline we have used worked.

Chinese Cinderella is an interesting one.

Oh, I did not hold it together. Let's just say that the parenting tools my parents used came to the surface. Yeah, doesn't do a darn bit of good.
Just wanted to add that we have tried many things and I honestly believe that my dd (with SPD) lack cause and effect understanding. No matter how many times we put her in her room she doesn't get that if she says sorry she won't get put in. When we spanked it took almost a year for her to realize that she got spanked every time she ran into the street (which is why we only spanked for running into the street). I really believe that the discipline used with "typical" children is not effective for SPD kids and yet I have found nothing about how to discipline SPD kids effectively.
-
I can't imagine how hard this must be...I know that when the OT from the school came to evaluate my dd one of the things she talked about was her behaviors. So it seemed to me that out of control behavior (and lack of cause and effect) are common with SPD or tend to go hand and hand with SPD. Do you have anyone who can commiserate with you? It was so cathartic to have the OT say things like I can't imagine how you get anything done around the house with dd or you obviously have discipline they are just to big for her....I would really focus on finding someone who can support you with the behavior stuff along with SPD and everything else.

we have a chunk of change in credit card debt but every penny of it was for the adoption of my 2 children and they are worth the debt and the interest if I get to be their mother!

I am so in...I have enjoyed following the threads from this year.

This is possible but it also occurs here in the us commonly with foster care but also with domestic infant adoption.

The thing about diseases being spread is ridiculous. There is absolutely no way that you could get syphillis, gonorrhea, etc. from a fully-clothed patdown.
The reports that I have heard have had multiple people say that they reach into the waistband of your pants so there is the potential to have the gloves touch skin. It depends on where underwear lands in relation to waistband and how far they reach in. I have heard an inch to down to knuckles.
If you are "wearing" or have "worn" your baby....

Haven't read all the responses yet...but I still where my son and he is now 18 months old. My 3 year old will ask if I will wear her at times, especially when she is sick or really tired. I love wearing my children until they no longer want to be worn.
