Just in need of some of your thoughts on Clonidine? My 3yr old has started to have massive sleeping issues and melatonin has not been successful. I spoke with his Developmental Pediatrician and she suggests trying this medication. I have researched it as much as I can, but am very interested in hearing from others. has it been successful with your kiddos, worth a try or should I try a different method??? I get a little nervous with going the medication route? Thanks for the feedback
Im not for meds but if u have tried everything else and u feel comfortable with giving ur child meds. Try it. My son is two and he goes to sleep therapy once a week and we also use a sound machine at… read more
Has anyone ever heard of Angel Sense? If u have have u tried it? My son will be starting classes in September with BCIU/early intervention and im worried how he will do and how teachers will treat him. It has a tracker if ur kid goes missing and u can even listen in on conversation wherever they are. It snaps to clothing or backpack. Wanted to know if its worth getting for the price and is it really reliable. Its rated 5 star's. Let me know what u guys think.
You could look into Apples Air Tags. They are really just for gps, and don’t have video or audio capabilities, but you can hang or place them almost anywhere. If your child has a tendency to take off… read more
Do you notice that some days your child is "with you" mentally..and the other day they are off...it's like an every other day thing??
Yes good days and bad days. That what it is.
It's time to take my daughter to the dentist but she doesn't talk, and she screams around people she doesn't know, and I don't know what to do
The first time I took my son I googled pediatric special needs dentists. I found one I love who is very good.
I often wonder what life will be like for my 2.5 yr old with Autism..i would love to hear from parents with older kids.did u find as they got older things got easier or harder for them??
@michele18- homeschool kids socialize too, it's just not as demanding to do, and there are escapes. It also allows your child to have 100% customized attention and curriculim.
Abilify really helped my son with this issue
Does anyone recommend a certain multivitamin? I see a bunch of different vitamins that contains extra omega 3's, iron, etc. My daughter is a picky eater so i know she doesn't get all the nutrients she needs. She will only eat gummy vitamins. We have tried the flinstones kind but they seem a little bit too hard to chew. I will talk with her MD and see what he thinks but i thought i'd try here as well...thanks!
Thank you for the responses! I think i may give the Omega3 supplement a try. If she lets me give it to her.
My 7yr old daughter has pain due to a dental infection.
Her Dentist is prescribing Amoxicillin to help with the infection and Motrin or advil for the pain.
Is there any liquid natural alternative antibiotics recommended?
When ever possible I like to go the more natural holistic approach .
Thanks
If your child has an infection then an antibiotic medication to kill the bacteria is needed. Using natural/herbal/homeopathic remedies that make claims but have no scientific evidence will put your… read more
