5 months, 3 weeks ago by Teresa	I think what i was trying to say is, it's ok to cut corners. You don't have to be supermum. My own attempts at that are foiled all the time! Hope you settle into a routine that makes life less stressful for you all.
5 months, 3 weeks ago by Bonkersmad246	Things a lot better tonight. Tinned ravioli for tea - how nutritious, but a big favourite. Not incidents at school, cat costume and iPad and to bed on time - phew. The child minder will only provide a snack and not a meal. I have thought about reducing my hours but this unfortunalty would not be allowed on my core days tues to thurs. Aren't us mums left feeling guilty and less than perfect all of the time!
5 months, 3 weeks ago by Teresa	So true bonkersmad. We continue to strive for perfection though :). Glad you had a better evening yesterday.
5 months, 2 weeks ago by Heather	Sooooooooooo glad to hear you had a better evening, long may it reign! Don't feel guilty cutting corners. YOU are MUM and the most important person to your kids, look after yourself. x
5 months, 2 weeks ago by Marie	Glad to hear to had a better night, dont feel guilty so much, you have got to cope each day however you can, if you get too stressed you wont cope and things can get worse, I am sure the biting and hitting will subside, it seemed to with my son as his understanding of language improved. look after yourself and good luck

Finding carers

Its worth asking at the school/ nursery/ college/ centre the person you care for attends if you could put up a notice. There may be staff, students or volunteers that know your loved one interested in extra work, especially during holidays. It worked for me.
Good Health Care for All

The Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities has published a booklet for people with learning disabilities, family carers and supporters about how to get the best out of the NHS. Good Health Care for All (6.4 MB)
A gentle approach

Remember to keep positive and offer praise. Even if that's not your gut reaction. Our son used to poo behind the sofa. Realising this meant he was not using his nappy and choosing somewhere private was actually a step in the right direction.
