  1. Anorexia doesn't seem like a very accurate term for a 6 yo. You might want to look up selective eating disorder
  2. Hoagies has a list of Dr.s familiar with gifted and 2E kids http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/psychologists.htm#susa
  3. I've been feeling terrible around 3pm and I think it's a combo of not getting enough iron and the high fructose corn syrup that was hiding in the apple sauce I like to have for lunch. I started taking a vitamin before bed and I'm ditching that cheap apple sauce for an all natural one
  4. My standard recipe uses lots of cumin. We've also done roasted garlic, roasted red peppers, or black beans
  5. If someone can go to the store for you, my dh uses Absorbine for his muscle and joint pain. It's on over the counter liquid menthol that you rub into the sore spots, helps him a lot
  6. I really wonder if a major component of this poor child's "illness" is just sleep deprivation. Her dad says the only way she would stop crying or throwing fits is to take her out all day, to one playground/park and then as soon as she got cranky and bored and started acting out they would take her to another...that sounds like a classic over-tired and over-stimulated child to me. Add in a sensory OE and you could get pretty dramatic results :( That second video where the mom says Jani is having a psychotic episode??!! All she is doing is rubbing her arm softly with a piece of metal (I didn't catch what is was) and as soon as someone puts their hand out for it she hands it over completely calm. Looks like typical kid bored and wanting attention, hardly out of control and psychotic. I know I have no right to judge them and we've only seen a tiny peek into their lives yet I can't help but feel that this is the ultimate example of what can happen if you completely indulge a child.
  7. Sounds like you want a grammar book and a dictionary. I can't rec a dictionary, I would just flip through the different ones on amazon and decide which one looks best. For grammar, I have Wheelock's latin. It's a bit dry and I don't know that you will find it quick reference but it's the classic
  8. I have a list of about 70 modern classics that I plan to read on my blog. I spent quite a bit of time putting the list together based on other lists and recommendations. The list is not exclusively American but MANY of them are. There are some books on criticism on the list too. Hopefully the link works, I'm on my phone http://www.aesoptooz.com/the-modern-classics-list/
  9. I love Laure Mercier's tinted moisturizer. I apply it with a sponge. It's very light weight, natural looking, and does not make my super sensitive skin break out.
  10. I would let her read the entire book and become immersed in the story and only analyze afterward. When discussing the book I would be careful to avoid correcting HER opinion and interpretation of the story. Obviously you want to guide her to see the deeper aspects of the story but don't allow the lit guide to dismiss her perspective. I think this is what kills a love of reading and discussion, being told that ones feelings about the story are wrong.
  11. :iagree: AE's undies are great. IMO VS is very poor quality and never fits quite right
  12. Looking forward to the info you have. I have the series 3 book 1 set here for summer but I haven't looked through it much yet.
  13. Oh my gosh that sound exactly like my Dd :lol: She's actually been having a "freedom" issue with a friend at school, so she wrote herself a Declaration of Independence and hung it on the door of her room
  14. I eat veggie burgers because they taste nothing like hamburgers, same with the soy ground "meat" actually. It's in the shape of grounds but has no flavor of meat. Not to be gross, but hamburger and other beef has a distinct flavor of blood which the soy obviously does not. Now the soy sausage patties, I will not eat because the seasoning is similar to sausage and it grosses me out! I'm with you in that I don't know how veggies eat meaty seasoned things, my dad will but he didn't become a veggie until he was about 40 (and he gave me SO much crap about it when I did at 15. I still :confused: about that lol)
  15. I will have to check out that blog I don't eat a lot of processed food. About the only packaged food edible by a vegetarian is the Quorn soy products, which I do eat even though they have more sodium than I would like, and rice that comes with a seasoning package, and that's just because I can never get enough seasoning in my own rice lol. Maybe I will find a rice recipe on that blog you mention ;) Oh and I do allow myself Twizzlers when I want a sweet, obviously terrible for you but I'm no martyr lol
