Please don’t make fun of me for being terrible at identifying poison ivy et cetera. I have tried to learn. (I also tend to mistake many beetles for ticks. 🤷♀️ This is my curse.) Can someone just tell me whether I need to be concerned about these particular leaves of three? (Midwestern USA)
My five year old son was administered cognitive testing as part of his autism & ADHD assessment. He was diagnosed with both, and he also scored in the 99.9th percentile on his DAS-II cognitive testing. A family member joked about him joining Mensa, so we checked, and he does well exceed the minimum requirement. It looks like there are some interesting benefits for youth members, but we’re also a low-income family.
My question is for those of you who have children who are members, who are (or have been) a youth member yourself, or have worked with the youth members in some capacity. In your personal opinions, would membership offer any real benefit for a five year old, or are we better off using the funds that would go towards dues for something else until he is older and better able to take advantage of the perks of membership?
Well, the new MLB Power Rankings are out, and the Sox are sitting at… 14!
😂 They still have nothing actually complementary to say about our team beyond being over .500 in a bum of a division, but I’ll take it! The leap up from 22 just goes to show the Sox have been getting slept on. Let ‘em sleep… we comin!
My five year old was diagnosed with eczema today. Neither of us (his parents) have any direct experience with it. We’ve been researching, of course, but we also wanted to hear from the hive mind:
What do you all, as people with a lot of eczema experience, think we should know about eczema? Products you swear by, hygiene routine recommendations, other things that help or things to avoid, or even just firsthand accounts of what it’s like so we can better support him?
If background information is helpful, he’s had symptoms for about a year and we were just on the waitlist for the dermatologist’s until today. He was prescribed both pimecrolimus (1% cream) and triamcinolone (.01% cream) for rashes on different parts of his body, and his dermatologist will see him again in four months’ time.
