I have an oddly specific question. If you limit screentime with your only, how do you do it? Currently Mini, 7, doesn’t have a limit. I think it’s affecting his behavior and would love to limit it to 3hrs a day for summer. The trick is he is up at 4-5am daily and doesn’t sleep until 7ish. He...

@imperfectcreature I truly have. I text people and ask but so far have gotten no where. If other parents do not get back to me I don’t really know what else I can do. This has been an on going struggle since we moved to this town 3 years ago.

@thetruthoftruth Loves them as long as I am sitting right next to him the entire time.

@hesychiaaa No, due to his needs we have no one that is willing to take him on overnights (he still wakes up every 1-2hrs and needs help going back to sleep due to his autism.)

@jwroe There are no camp options. We live in a very rural community (less than 2,000 people and over 1.5hrs drive to the next town). He will be in T-Ball but that’s only 1hr twice a week in the evenings. Besides that our town offers no options for kids in the summer.

@ncdavis I definitely need to work on getting him involved. His autism makes it difficult for him to understand and safely help while the ADHD keeps him extremely hyperactive and disregulated. But this is something I can work on. Thank you!

@jonathanluthfi He definitely has infinite energy. Our town is less than a mile by mile size so we walk almost everywhere. We only use cars in the winter.

@kimmac23 We would love to move but the current economy its not an option for at least the next few years. We cannot afford to move to a new house or rent at the current rates in any larger towns. We tried in January/February to look at moving to where family is but I cannot work due to a...

I know that even if son had a sibling it’s not a promise they would have played together but parenting an only child who is spirited is tiring. My son also has ADHD and high-functioning autism. Child will be 7 in June and still won’t do anything alone. He would rather follow me around while I...
