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.

Dyslexia: Advice, tips or guidance? -
How to deal with cuss words…A friend of mine is a preschool teacher and she gave me the tip that "potty talk" stays in the bathroom. When my kids get into saying bad words, I tell them they have to go to the bathroom if they want to use those words. Kinda ridiculous, but they somehow think its funny and run to the bathroom and yell things, and then I tell them they can come out with it's out of their system.

MinecraftMy kids have been obsessed with Minecraft recently and it’s only caused frustrations and requests to spend more money whenever they play. After my daughter spent $50 without me realizing it for “extra worlds” I had to cut it off. I recently bought Bluey for Nintendo Switch instead and they all seem to enjoy (ages 5, 7 & 9) and can play together. I’m still trying to find something more educational and fun, open to all ideas here but Minecraft has been rough in our household (not so much for stranger interactions since we have that shut off, but more for just always wanting more worlds = more $$ to spend and constantly feeling like they need more to play).

Non Toxic Sunscreens!I love the SuperGoop Foam, kids enjoy rubbing foam all over and find it fun. Kinda pricey so I sign up for their emails and try to stock up when it’s on sale!

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.
