Any dads with keloids whose children also inherited them? If so, at what age did you first notice keloids on your child, or did they grow up without developing any?

Hi all

A mama here, looking for simple skincare recommendations for 10-12year old boys with brown skin. What basic cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen routine works well for your kids? I want to keep it simple and chemical-free.

Our 10-year-old son has had a raspy voice since age six, and previous ENT visits using a standard camera exam have not provided answers. He is some how a mouth breather and experiences shortness of breath when crying or running.

​Could this be related to teeth misalignment, voice misuse, or something else? I need to know what specific, advanced tests I should demand to get a proper diagnosis. I am looking for advice on whether to see a pediatric pulmonologist, a speech-language pathologist, or request a different type of ENT exam?

​Would like to advocate foe the right testing for our baby boy.

Any one ever tried applying zinc oxide/diaper cream/ on their keloid to help them with itch? I see a lot of people usong it as a facial treatment and i was wondering to try it on keloid.

Our child just turned 10. For the most part, he is such a good kid. He reads well, does well in school, good listener (he has his days where he acts silly) and participates in chorus (even though he doesn’t like it; we are firm and push him to stick with it). He did karate for four years and stopped after he earned his first black belt. He also played soccer and was doing well, but we decided to stop it because we didn't see any interest or eagerness when it was soccer day, so we decided to give him a break(which he is happy). He is currently doing swimming and piano, both of which he now wishes to stop. 😐

​We are super confused as to what he actually wants to do for activities. He doesn’t ride a bike or a scooter, even though his friends do. He often thinks he is incapable of doing things, and we have to encourage him or he quits easily-even opening a can feels like a hard job for him. He will try something once and quit immediately.

​I feel like we might have made him this way because we raised him as an only child for seven years and unconsciously "coddled" him. Now that he has a 4yo sister who is his opposite in everything, she is independent, a daredevil, and surprises us with her efforts to solve problems by herself, the contrast is even more apparent. She has an interest in trying everything, whereas our boy thinks he can't do things.

​We are gentle parents who encourage our kids, speak positively, and make sure they see us practicing self-confidence. Yet, I don't know what we did wrong. I keep telling him that he is stronger and more capable than he thinks, and I want to help him build his self-esteem, but he often expresses self-doubt and says he "doesn't know why."

​How do we help our son? For those of you who raised a child like this, how are they doing now as adults? Does it get better, do they find their way out, and build better personality? Guilt is eating at me, and I can't help but think we must have done something wrong. 😫

Hi Mamas

​

Have you ever petitioned for a teacher or principal for tdsb to changes its decision to transfer teacher/principal?

​

We just received a last minute email regarding our child's principal a decision to transfer 'em, and we want to do all we can to push back and tdsb reconsider its decision.

​

I would love to get guidance from parents who had similar experience.

Fellow tret users in Canada, what are we using for sunscreen that's working for you? Especially those of you with melanin rich (medium brown) skin tones. Am using lrp anthelios 50+, and although I love its non greasy, non white cast texture, I don't think its working on my face. 😣

Currently using 0.025% gel tret, open sandwich method 3 days a week.

🙏🙏

Our soon to be 10yo tells me everything of his days, and I love that about him. Yet there is this kid (let's call him M) who our son onsider a friend, and M never invites him to his playdates while inviting other mutual friends. Yet our son always invites M to play dates at our place.

The thing is our son tells us how "mean" and "excluding" M is - yet our son strangely gravitate towards M and calls him his best buddy 🤦‍♀️. ( I ask why he consider him a friend and the answer I get is that it's because "the is funny).

Now that we are getting ready for our child's birthday, our son gave us list of friends he would want to have and this kid is included which me and my husband are not happy about, and we plan not to send the invitation out to the kid's parents.

We talk about self worth, friendship and choosing those who choose us, and make us feel seen all the time, but seems none of what we are saying makes sense to our boy. 🤣

What would you do? Would you still invite a child that makes your child sad every single day? Our son thinks am getting in his way, and he would never tell me anything about school anymore if I don't invite M. Haha! Sigh.

Anyone using this? How is it interms of smell, dust snd clumping?

We are newbies and infos here and there are so overwhelming. 😣

I got my 0.025 tret (to treat moderate HP, no acne issue)from pharmacy today and i was told to quit prior to conceiving. Those you who used it, how was the result and when did you stopped before pregnancy? What are your advice for first time user. I also have AA 15% AND planning to use 'em every other day.

​I have a friend who works as an accountant for a major firm. As the only woman of color in her office, she’s noticed a strange pattern recently: the company has been hiring many South Asian immigrants, and HR frequently asks them to perform personal errands...like picking up the GM from his physiotherapy appointments. Every time they are asked, they comply without hesitation. Interestingly, HR never asks my friend, likely because she is Canadian born, outspoken, and knows her labor rights.

​This made me realize that perhaps the "immigration issue" isn't what the mainstream media portrays. What if the real problem isn't the immigrants themselves, but business owners seeking "submissive" labor? By hiring individuals who may be unfamiliar with local labor laws or are in precarious visa situations, companies can exploit them for free labor and tasks outside their job descriptions.

We need to shift the narrative: it’s not just about who is entering the country, but about who is profiting from hiring people they think won't talk back.

Anybody else feeling the same?
