  • Dyslexia: Advice, tips or guidance?

    My child is being tested for dyslexia, I’m at a loss for how I help. She refuses to do any work at home with me, won’t try to read, try to do sight words, or anything, but I have her with a tutor 2x per week. She told me she tries to hide to everyone that she can’t read (1st grade). Any advice is greatly appreciated.

  • 4 year old boy summer birthday that isn’t gymnastics/urban air or swimming?

    My son is so excited to have a birthday party in late May/early June, but we are struggling with what to do. It will be so hot, so an outdoor park/restaurant will be tough and our house is small. Would love ideas! 💡

  • Repeating kindergarten

    My daughter is very young for her grade. She turns 6 end of July and she is currently struggling academically in kindergarten. She is doing great socially/emotionally, but is having trouble with attention and reading. She has improved as the year progresses and the teachers are saying she does not need to repeat kinder. I would like any advice from moms in similar situations.

  • Going rate for overnight sitter?

    I have a friend that told me it’s typically an hourly rate until kids go to bed, plus $75 for overnight, and then again hourly from when the kids wake up. Is this low, high? I’d love to go on a night away with the husband but not sure how to handle the offer.
