  • 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.

  • Vitamin C serum that’s more reasonable than SkinCeuticals?

    I started using the skinceuticals CE Ferulic after Xmas. It’s fabulous but it’s $180 per bottle and I’m already out 😭 so I’m looking for a more affordable alternative.

  • Weaning off steroid, specifically flovent

    Hi! Our little girl was put on a steroid inhaler "flovent" after having a few respiratory viruses and RSV. We worked with a pulmonologist and he recommended flovent 2 times daily. I did it for awhile, but I do NOT want my 9 month old on a steroid for the next 2 years. When asked about weaning, he was very defensive and tried to make me feel bad and not recommend it. Hoping someone has had experience with Flovent and getting off of it!!

  • 6 year old dealing with grief of an animal

    Hi!

    Our 6 year old son was sick for a full week out of school, and then the week ended with us having to put down our cat. Since the news of the cat going to heaven, he has completely changed. There is so much ANGER in him, and screaming at us, saying mean things being mean to his sister. HELP!!! Hoping to find a solution with a fine line of balancing boundaries, and also teaching him how to express his emotions. It seems to be that his anger is due to sadness. Is this normal????
