Mild Intellectual Disability
Good morning ladies! Has anyone’s child been diagnosed with mild intellectual disability?
The psychiatrist at my sons school diagnosed him with it. He is 8 years old. I was just wondering how your experience is with the diagnosis and how you deal with mental breakdowns when he doesn’t get something?
If I tell him to clean his room or even simple tasks like telling him to get ready for school, he throws a fit for a simplest things.
I’m also having a hard time with my fiancé dealing with him as he thinks he just doesn’t want to listen but really it’s the MID.
Thanks in advance! 😊

@desert_chick, I try to be positive with him as much as I can, it’s mainly my fiancé that can’t deal with him because he thinks he just doesn’t want to listen but it’s the MID. So since he doesn’t understand we end up fighting because he thinks I’m parenting against him when that’s not it at all. I’ll try the sticker chart and see if it helps with getting him to do chores and stuff. Thanks so much for replying!
My son (3yo)has a severe intellectual disability, we have found that positive reenforcement is key with our son. So when he does something good or helps out we go overboard cheering and clapping. He loves it, and even starts clapping for himself. The more he sees that positive reaction, the more he chooses positive behaviors and helping out. With an older child cheering may not be enough, maybe try a sticker chart or a physical type of reward for completing tasks/ good behaviors.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
@k_mae1989, your welcome, I struggle with my husband on this to. We just have to stand our ground. It’s almost like we have to parent them at times to.
