I know it's been way long since our last series of posts, but things are going okay -- business as usual, which is usually good. :)

I was curious if anyone in this thread had experience with sensory issues. I was chatting with a friend and fellow mom (with several years of experience on me) who asked about several behaviors that sounded incredibly familiar -- sensitivity to stimulation, impulsive behavior, sometimes going into "outer space" when there's a lot of stimulation and having to be jarred back into reality. The kind of kid who could dig up a whole flower bed and then tell you that he really doesn't know why he did it. (Gratefully he hasn't done this -- her daughter had when she was old enough to know better.) It's that equation that looks like increasing stimulation (sound, noise, often too many friends at once) that results in the impulsive "I don't know why I did it" behavior.

Her daughter (now 18) actually has suffered from depression, and she attributes it to the fact that she never really knew how to cope with the things that made her different. My friend said her daughter experiences the world differently than most, and that makes it really hard for her to cope at times.

Anyhow, my friend actually suggested talking to an occupational therapist, which really surprised me. But in retrospect, I do wonder if there's some merit in there...

Just curious if anyone had these types of experiences (or maybe I start a new thread?). Comments, perspectives welcome. :)

My now 19 year old son had many of the same challenges around those same ages. This child had spent his entire life dealing with severe food allergies and the ever present anaphylactic reaction. I found that I was so stressed out and full of anxiety that it was creating the same in him. At about 5, he started choking once on a waffle to the point where I had to give him the heimlich maneuver to make him throw up. After that he would not eat unless I was sitting next to him. When I had to leave for the weekend to go to a wedding, we thought he'd eat. Nope, not a bit. We realized that this was bigger than us and reached out for help. What I learned was that we all have a bit of OCD in us and that I was teaching him to have anxiety as well. I had to work really hard to not live in fear but to let him know that we all have things that we have to deal with. That was his and that was alright. Having someone else help him to develop coping strategies was such a gift. He became a great young man who is now in college. Of course, being his mom, I am watching to see if the new stress of college brings back any anxiety but so far, so good. I think it is so important for our kids to know that everyone has to deal with something and that they are not alone or weird. I also teach high school and see that the pressures that parents put on their kids to be something they are not is so damaging to their self worth. You all go ahead and be the mom, that's our job. We all want to see our kids happy. Teaching them coping skills will do more for them in the future than us trying to keep kids from feeling anything bad. Just my little opinion and I so remember being right there. Stay strong.

For instance, if the wedding will take place during warmer summer months, then, it is advisable to choose any materials for the wedding gown that will not make the bride sebaceous and perspire all through the celebration.<br />
<br />
Certainly, deliberating on the details of the wedding gown could be a daunting process.That is why you should provide a new hefty time frame in planning, designing, and ordering the marriage gown.In this way, there will be sufficient time for just about any changes not to mention modifications without worrying about the tendency to generate a in a hurry work.<br />
