Thanks everyone. I have been sitting in the bath with her. It is actualy a good excuse (time) to clean the bathroom while I am there.
I think I will def use sample sizes & refill when she is in her own bath. Untill then I am just trying to keep everything out of reach. |

| We knew something was diff very early. My daughter nursed only untill she was 5 months old. The first time she got hold of a bottle she would not go back to nursing, I guess because she didn't/doesn't like to be held/touched. By a year she was lining things up, sorting by color & having melt dow... |

| We had a Dr. suggest buying her a necklece w/ some sort of rubber item on it she could chew. We did not do it because it seemed like transfering the chewing from 1 item to another was just giving her permission to chew. Not sure if that was/is the right choice. |

| Ticker, Luckily, neither my daughter, nor I are *disturbed*. If we were, you posts would certainly not have been helpful and might have even been damaging. People come here looking for help, guidance, assistance and friendship. Many of those people are in vulnerable positions. It is very important t... |

| The teacher did egg it on. They spoke to the school councilor who did not think it was an issue, the teacher perused it. That is a very odd thing, that very same teacher phoned me to come up to the school last Friday, when I did, she met me in the hall & was literally pulling out her hair saying... |

| My 10 y/o has the same problem. She also can not tie her shoes and eating w/ a spoon or fork is a nightmare. She does it, but it is a mess. As for the writing, that is not a skill they teach in school anymore, at least they do not in Texas. It's not on the TAKS test so no classroom hours are devoted... |
