| I think you'd be better off looking at the statistics of what could happen if you DON'T get an ultrasound. |

| Just wanted to let you all know that she did get up on stage and said 2 lines. Milestone! Amazing! I didn't force her and I gave her an out but I did offer huge incentive for doing it. She did it-and did an AMAZING job! Perfectly articulated her lines! She was scared but proud of herself. Thank you... |

| She is going to be bored out of her mind in first grade! If she hates it I highly doubt she is going to want to put the effort into making friends and such when she doesn't even want to be there. Is there any way she can split between 1st and 2nd? |

I understand your fear, especially going through it with your wife. |

| My son has been on a 1.5 mg dosage of abilify for over a year and i am slowly reducing it. Now he takes pretty much a speckle of it and I want to take him all the way off. Would anyone recommend giving it to him every other day for a week or two then every other 3 days etc so that he is finally of ... |

Because sequencing is such a vital part in gross motor planning, teaching it piece by piece is really ... |

Fine motor activities: Legos Tearing up newspapers, magazines- kids love this because it is fun. Crinkle them up and play... |

She has been a long time contributor and many of us here are close with her. She has obviously been through a lot, why be mean when you can be understanding? Don't throw the ... |

This is very distressing for me. Our children's brains are growing, and giving them the types of medications that some ... |

Medication is a very personal choice. I would hope every parent here can understand that each parent is doing what they feel is best for their child. We may not always agree with one another, but we can still be of support.
I hope you come back soon. I will miss your insightful posts! |

| Also, I would keep a mood chart for her to keep track of how her mood and behaviors change on the new drug. It is helpful for the doctor to see and if there are any concerns, you can catch them early. Maybe using https://www.moodtracker.com/ will be helpful? Sometimes it takes a couple tries before ... |

| Every kid is different in their visual-spatial skills and fine motor skills. Most kids can learn by 2nd grade, but I know some kids who took until 3rd. Breaking it down step by step is helpful. At first have them just do the initial cross over and loop under, then finish the rest for them. Once they... |
