death

Avatar f tn but I am currently dealing with a similar situation. My son (almost 7 now) could not function in a normal classroom environment because of his sensory/social/behavioral issues. Finally after 2 years of preschool and 1 1/2 years of Kindergarten; he was finally diagnosed with Aspergers and we were able to get him an I.E.P.
Avatar n tn Continually bargains and consistently delaying the act of going inside the classroom. My question is, how can the teachers and the guidance counselors in school be of help to make this child go inside the classroom and what can be done at home in order for the child to have a change in behavior?
Avatar n tn Your daughter is young right now. I wouldn't be thinking the worst at this point. Its' obvious that she doesn't like change. This is something that Pre-School should be helping her with. As well, you can communicate with her. Let her know that sometimes' the teachers' have to go to another school or are on holidays. She sounds like a smart child. Taking her out of pre-school to me seems to be a mistake.
Avatar f tn I teach a 6 year old girl who consistently has temper tantrums in the classroom. If she is asked to correct something, or told to tidy up with the rest of the class she can fly into a fit of rage. When she is having a tantrum she can scream and wail for up to an hour. She crawls around on the floor after me...making it impossible to ignore her. She has other unusual behaviours too. She is always 'ill' and complaining of the hiccups, sore fingers, neck, throat etc...
Avatar f tn Sorry I hit post on accident. It was hard dealing with my grandmothers loss but I pulled thru. The hardest part was seeing my mom in so much pain. I was about 10 weeks when that happened. Then, just a few weeks ago my hubby's good friend passed away from Luekemia. We are still getting thru that. It's been hard but we try to remain positive and this k about the time we did get to spend with them. I'm very sorry for your loss.
1356959 tn?1488975948 Hello everyone,I am 26 years old and I was in my first trimester when I had a miscarriage on the 7th Feb 2012.It all started with brown spotting that turned in to real heavy bleeding. My GNYA said that the only thing that could stop the bleeding is to go to theatre and have myself,so that was the end of my pregnancy. My boyfriend was away when this happened and is still away. I am so stressed,I can't eat or sleep and I feel so alone. Please help me deal with this terrible loss.
Avatar f tn I lost my brother in December 2007, he was shot, my phone was in the car the next day I saw 33 missed calls, when I returned the call I was informed that he had been shot. He went through 7 days of pain in hospital after that he passed away. It was the most traumatic moment of my life but I wanted to be strong for him and I never cired at hte time because I didn't want him to think he was it a worst condition.
Avatar n tn I am a 4th year full day Kindergarten teacher and this year, I have 8 out of 21 children who cry every day, are oppositional, won't follow directions, won't listen, are mean to others, hit, scream and are constantly disruptive no matter what I do. I have modified the classroom environment, tried many different behavior modification plans, and still, the disruptions persist.
Avatar f tn for the baby and how much will effect him. I usually a very emotional person when dealing with death and I feel like a horrible person for not allowing myself to feel bad. What do I do???
Avatar m tn How do you deal with all the differing views on risk behavior? For example, this forum has a pretty firm stance about the low/no risk nature of oral sex for hiv transmission. Yet even my own cities Met Health Clinic (SA, TX) councils that getting a blow job is high risk due to potential lesions, etc.
Avatar f tn Just like falling in love takes time so does dealing with a passing of a loved one.Just opposite ways of feeling.Love and loss,two parts of life that both hurt.For loving anyone or anything,such as a pet can lead to pain.All feelings lead to pain and despair,eventually.So do we stop feeling,stop loving,stop caring,no we just learn to adjust to our new lives without that loved one that pet,that friend.whom ever.Death ends a life,not a relationship.
Avatar n tn Hi there Charlotte, I thought I should check in with you and see if you are doing any better now that you are taking amitrypyiline. I sure do hope so!!! I know that dealing with doctors who really don't have the foggiest idea about what pain we are in is so frustrating. I'm contemplating a G.P. change soon. I dread having to start once again with a new doctor. At my age (63 soon) it is getting a little old (no pun intended)! Take good care of yourself. Carol C.
Avatar f tn Kids with these disorders often look like they are misbehaving but it is actually a surfacing of their disorder in the classroom. Teachers that have a professional designation are required to know the signs and learn ways of managing these kids. So, I was inquiring what level the teachers are at at your school. It may not be a right fit for this boy.
Avatar m tn I know that you are having a hard time coping with these things i myself have lost a mom then a daughter abd sis and it will take time to go through the greiving process and it is not an easy thing to do, but in time you will heal i did not have asuppot group as i live in the country and there are no support groups here but they could help you i know i cried for so long but the main thing i think that saved me was my work i had to get up and go to work so if you go to sc hool dont miss it also t

Avatar f tn At first it seems like the light at end of the tunnel, is so far and out of reach, but with the right support the tunnel is not so scary. This is what I tell myself everyday. I say, "Rachel, live today like Cooper would want you to!" "Live this day to make all his Angel Buddies proud!!" Your daughter does not want you to be sad, she wants you to LIVE. Keep her alive by sharing her life with others, the more you tell the more will LOVE!!!!!
779627 tn?1235845890 The air quality sample was postive for various types of black mold in the attic, in the classroom air and in the air outside the classroom. I am most concerned with basidiospores. The technician for the school district has told the school district that the levels in the classroom air are safe. However, as I research the charateristics of these spores, I find there are over 2000 generae and they all produce the same toxins when they consume wood fibers during the dry rot process.
Avatar m tn s funny, the idea of structure in the classroom is something we have stressed from the beginning, and our problems this year arise from a brand new teacher who started out wanting to be "friends" with the students. The teacher now has discovered that the boys do not respect him as an authority figure -- SURPRISE. But, will public schools, especially those in a rich county like ours, do better in dealing with large deviations from the ideal student?
Avatar n tn How can I talk to her about dealing with anger, hitting, violence, and maybe just dealing with an overstimulating classroom in an appropriate way effectively?
Avatar n tn My mother(age 47) has drasticly gone down hill in the past 4yrs. It seemed to all happen at once and in the past year things have gotten worse. Heart disease runs strong in my family,not many have lived past 50yrs old.My mom has hypertension,high blood pressure, chronic lung disease, and heart disease to name a few. This past July she had to have emergeny double bypass surgery and had a minor heartatacke about a month after the surgery.
Avatar m tn I think the worse part is the pain and dealing with no sleep. I sleep for about 2 hours at a time and can't make it past 3:30 AM every morning. I appreciate your reply and i know there are alot of people on here that are going through the same thing. I'm just trying to deal with it. I have no energy and i can't get too far from the bathroom. I think taking the ultram for a couple of days (200 er, 1 a day) might have set me back on my plan to stop all together.
Avatar f tn How do you deal with 24 hr. 7 days a week pain? I had the same back problems in 2002 when I originally hurt my back. I had take pain meds as I have never taken pills that much. I'm a teacher and I can't do that anymore. In fact, my life is at a stand still. My day consists of getting up (with help), watching t.v., taking a nap, doing small tasks around the house if I don't have to be on my feet any longer than 10 min.
Avatar m tn The cravings come and go maybe forever. How to stay clean IS THE PROBLEM. Look in the phone book (usually in the front) for addiction help, groups, counseling etc. Day 5 is very early and only the really nasty WD symptoms are over. Try to get him interested in his own treatment. It sounds like you set up a type of detox for him. Eventually he will need to do this on his own and with support from other people as well as you. You've done a great job!
Avatar f tn ve apologized very often back then. In the beginning, when the diorder sideswiped me, I had a hard time not reacting negatively to things. It took practice and a few people telling me that I was out of line. That was a chnge for me not to be in control and steady, easily irritated, or show my irritation raw and bare. Did you get in a bad way when you started taking care of your Mother? Are you also giving total care to your husband, because you mentioned he was terminal.
