It has been about 2 years since our brief but disasterous school attempt. I am seriously dedicated to unschooling, but 11 year old YoungSon (PDD-NOS, PTSD, SID) wants to try again. In theory, I think the right thing to do is to honor his wishes, and let him try. He feels that much of the earlier...
Our almost 4YO has worked very, very hard to find his voice since we finally figured out he has verbal developmental apraxia. He has gone from 5 words at the age of 3YO, to 12 word sentences just 8 months later. He is an intense kid. He has always been high needs, although we never knew it un...

Today, Mark had play therapy. We did an intensive sensory session before the therapist arrived, he had a great 60 minutes with her, building with blocks, playing with cars and even doing some music participation games (which means he watched while we danced and clicked rythm sticks together)....
I am flipping out right now. I don't think I have ever been so angry in my life. The #@%! psychiatrist reported us to an agency that links to CAS (children's aid society) because she says that she thinks it is highly likely that it is behavioural problems caused by our parenting. Th...
