Re: New special needs diagnosis - Bad spelling?

Hi, I have been on this journey myself and as a parent it is hard to come to terms with if you have no educational needs personally. I have two dyslexic boys and really struggled myself with their diagnoses as I am a stickler for spelling and an avid reader, I just couldn't get why they couldn't do ...

Re: Traditional Christmas is causing issues with girlfriend

Maybe because of my strained relationship over the years with my MIL, this rings all sorts of alarm bells: The writer says: my grandmother asked if my girlfriend would be "okay" with the usual traditions. She framed it in a way that felt a bit loaded, saying something about how my girlfrie...

Re: Has anyone succeeded in lobbying Wandsworth council to slow down traffic on their road?

Definitely lobby the council for traffic calming measures, chicanes, road bumps etc and noone should be speeding on side or any other roads but, in response to the poster who is hoping their future children could play in the street, this is madness. What is this obsession with wanting kids to play i...

Re: How to manage taking children out of fee paying school mid- year

I'd agree with Headshrinker, do lots of extra-curricular activities (although state schools do have after-school clubs for free as well), support with tutoring if you need to but they all have extension tasks for the super bright and some subjects may even be streamed. If you are in a good area you ...

Re: Panic Attacks - help

I developed similar travel related anxiety in my 40's as well, related to flying/travelling. There were a set of circumstances that triggered it but I couldn't get past it. I had previously travelled extensively and was furious with myself. For me what has worked is taking a medication called Propan...

Re: Is corian heat resistant?

We used Corian for our remodel - as we have a massive island (3m x 1.5m). Marble was more than double the cost. While I love the Corian colour we chose… Hate the product. Hate.hate.hate. Not nearly as durable as I thought it but would be. Scratches easily. Chipped when they installed our flush Gagg...

Re: Do you regret your lockdown puppy?

We got a puppy during lockdown and adore her, both my husband and I having grown up with dogs. It is very different having a dog in the city to the country though, and as experienced as we were, it has still been a shock and something to get used to. The two walks a day, respective of weather, not b...
