Hi, thanks for your reply. Hope the teacher can give me a suitable slot soon. I myself tried yoga recently. I must say it is very tiring when u do the poses, but u feel very \"shiok\" after tt due to the lengthening effect.
good luck to getting the right slot! I do yoga at the same school as well. Yes feels really good after a good stretch of back, especially shoulders and necks. Desk bound job gives so much problems on the shoulders these days

Like with all things, slowly and specifically! From about 9yo or so, I started talking a bit more about a girl's growth and development, let her read a book or 2, just getting her to understand the issues. When she started menstruating, I showed her what to do, how to manage, as matter-of-factly as I could. Pretty much like we have taught her many things over the years! It's been fine so far.
thanks for the candid sharing, slimkhoo. just out of curiosity, are there any peer interaction or relationship issues that you need to deal with? -

My daughter is in a fairly unique situation as we have lived overseas since she was very young and she currently attends a very small Christian international school. The teachers and students are generally very accommodating so she has had an easier time than in a bigger school. Her classmates probably realise that she is different, and she doesn't have any close friends (she doesn't seem to want that kind of friendship), but they get along OK. She had a harder time in the first 4 yrs in public school, but since she is quiet, I think most people just ignored her. She has a younger sister (2 yrs younger) who is much more socially aware, and I think the younger one helps to some extent by leading the way in social interactions.
yes, i recall temple grandin who is a renowned ASD individual saying that she does not have the need to have intimate relationships. it is a decision by choice, rather than borne out of any handicap.
I reckon that your dd's environment does not entail any bullying. its good to hear that cos that is one of my worries too, that they get bullied or exploited because of their innocence. -

The stressful part is like u as though are talking to the wall whereas other child are very prompt to their parents communication ESP asking question or requesting parts ...

Around the house or will they just sit beside u without much moves about?
When my son at home he like to move about. Unless of he is playin w his interested toys. Or watch his fav tv show. -

Of course! The only time they don't move is when they are sick. All kids move about at home, whether NT kids or not. If sit beside u and don't move then something is very very wrong.Btw mummies , does yr normal toddlers like to roam
