This is a random post, but thank you all who post re ADHD kiddos. My nephew was diagnosed when he was in elementary school, but this was in a small/rural town in a “flyover” state about ~10-12 years ago and NONE of this conversation about neurodiversity, diet, behavior was normalized. I know my SIL felt very alone in her quest for answers as she drove to the local research universities for therapies, assessments, etc. I feel like it’s so much more normalized (not easy – just normalized in conversation) on this board and within my circles of friends with kids. So thank you to y’all parents who are doing this work with your kids, providers, etc.
Anyone have experience getting calories into a kid who’s on appetite-suppressing meds? We’re about to start my 6-year-old on stimulants for ADHD, because after trying a variety of non-medication tactics and non-stimulant meds we’re out of other options and she will be less miserable if we can get her symptoms under control. However, she’s 5-10th %ile for weight (1st %ile for BMI, with all the caveats about that) so she really needs to not lose weight.
I know all the usual tactics for increasing fat content of meals (ie add oil and butter whenever possible, serve calorie-dense foods, etc), and we can do that for breakfast and dinner, but I’m trying to figure out easy calories for school lunch and snack, when she’s not likely to be hungry. Does anyone ever send smoothies to school and have recs for a container to use? Or other go-tos that are easy to eat and high fat?
Help me with night pees! My 4yo wears Goodnites at night. We have no potty issues during the day. He is peeing through them every night and needs a full outfit change. Then he’s in our bed because he’s awake. I added a booster last night and while he slept all night, everything was wet this morning. Of course he pees right before bed and isn’t chugging liquids or anything. He drinks normally throughout the day. I hesitate to change his pull-up before we go to sleep in case it wakes him up (he’s hard to get back to sleep). Is there a solution I’m not thinking of?
I just started listening to BOBW podcast from the beginning after I saw it mentioned here. I was listening to the Mom Hour but found that I couldn’t relate to their lives as part time/freelancers all that much (like the discussions about adding another kid never touched on added childcare costs!). I feel like BOBW can be sort of surface level at times though? Hard to explain. Sometimes they skip the really important parts of the topic and I don’t understand like they will have a guest who travels but then not ask how they manage childcare while traveling? Maybe it gets better I’m in the early episodes. Is there another podcast people recommend for working moms? I like Herself but I’ve listened to most of those.
Husband is working 12 hour shifts for the next week or so, so even though he comes home at night, he’ll miss seeing DD. I know he gets bummed out missing her when he does this schedule. I’m taking pictures and texting updates but any other ideas to make it a little easier on him?
DD is only 2 years old, so I don’t really want to change her wake-ups or bedtimes that much, but wwyd? Our schedule is: Husband leaves at 6am, and comes back around 8 pm. DD usually wakes up between 6:30-7am and I generally put her in bed around 7:15 pm, although she does wiggle and “read” for a bit afterwards.
At what time do you get home from work, what are the age of your kids, and what is your afternoon/evening routine look like? It was interesting from the thread earlier this week how many people here are getting home when school ends, and I was curious how they spend the afternoons with their kids.
I just got a teacher note about my third grader’s poor behavior and choices and disruption in class. I am mortified and don’t know how I will focus today.
I’m wondering if this is the push I need to get an ADHD eval. He has always been extremely impulsive and challenging to parent at home and my mom instinct has suspected for years, but he’s gotten glowing school reports so I just decided to “give it time”.
Or maybe I’m just explaining away my kid’s rotten behavior. Ugghhh. (I guess this is practice in separating my own sense of self worth from my kids.)
My 4th grader is having trouble remembering things, such as bringing band instrument to band practice, sports gear on practice days, type things. What are some good strategies to help her remember?
