Ok. Thanks so much!
My 5 year old really seems to struggle with social anxiety. She can't even handle being in the same room with other kids. Any suggestions?
She does not go to school yet. We do her therapy at the school though but their are no other kids in there with her. This is just at the park or when we walk by the kids in the school cafeteria… read more

Z Melts down any time happy birthday is sung - once we game planned around that we have been able to go. Maybe there is one particular thing for your kiddo too ?
My son hates it also, but if we ask him first and tell him "Just one" it helps him to cooperate

My 4 yr old son with PDD-NOS refuses to go to the potty. He has successfully gone a handful of times when we tried timing it and made him sit down...and low and behold, he just so happened to go in the potty! He refuses to keep trying and he does not make any effort to recognize the urge and try on his own. He's very into DVD's with mickey or bubble guppes and handy manny. Are there any good DVDs that may be able to help me train him? I don't know what to do...please help! Thank you :)
We struggled with this off and constipation intermittently through fourth grade, when he refused to eat to avoid pooping altogether.
Two biggest helps for us: a friend helped us create a Social… read more
