Hello,

My four year old son Shaun has ataxic cerebal palsy (this means he walks with a very wide base of gait) and also has very very tight musculature of his lower limb, particularly his calf and hamstring muscles, meaning he finds it even harder to walk, he still manages often though.

He is due to start school in September and I am very very concerned, he is one of 4 (he is one of triplets-2 boys, Theo and Shaun and a girl Poppy and I have another son James), and his brothers and sister take amazing care of him, and the support and love they have for each other is amazing.

Anyway back to my question-are there any other mothers of CP children out there who can recommend any tips for helping him get on at school, I don' treat him any differently at home than his brothers or sister but I know how cruel school children can be!

Poppy was also born with clubfeet and a botched operation lead to her only having proper use of one of her feet.

I have funds in my paypal account yet I think I deleted my confirmation e-mail for this payment-is there anyway to get it back?

In the beginning of Slumdoig Millionaire Jamal and his brother are running form te poilce through the slums - there is a song-its has M.I.A singing in it and the line 'like a ninja I'm shifty'. Any hep would be appreciated!!

I was discussing names with my friend last night and I told her I loved the name Evangeline and also Evangelina. She said that Evangelina sounded chavvy - does it?

I have three names for each-

*Jake Andrew

*Micheal Joshua

*Issac James

*Evie Rose

*Alice Louisa

*Ellie Kathryn

Thanks

I remember reading somewhere that a classic sign of autism is that children have no interest in other children their age or of any other age and that manifests itself in the first two years. My 16 month old son is behaving like this - he is one of triplets and while his identical brother and sister are very close he shows no interest in them or his 5 month old sister.

He also seems to despise being hugged in anyway - even when he was much younger and has now begun to hit his siblings if they try to hug him.

When he is walking he also jeeps primarily to the walls-i read that this could be a sign because by walking around the walls he avoids touching anything.

If anyone has an autistic child and recognises these symptoms and could offer any help or can just offer nay help in anyway it would be so appreciated thanks

Just having a quick wonder here? Who likes the names Rae and Blu? Anyone into them? I'm not really thinking about using them just wanted some opinions?

my triplets are 15 months old - can i begin to potty train them? they are all walking

My friend potty trained her son at 14 months and its worked out fine

What age did you potty train your children at?

How soon did you potty train your children? My triplets are 15 months old now and are all walking - my friend trained hers when they were around 14 months - what age did everyone else?

Always assume that when you say you are pregnant or that you think you are they think you are unmarried and living off benefits or don't want the baby?

Test now says positive!

Is it still possible that i may have hormones still in my body from pregnancy?

question from earlier - http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Am...

I'm 2 weeks late for my period and have taken a test which says negative. I have 14 month old triplets and a 3 month old already. My friend (who is a midwife) told me that each time you fall pregnant it increases your chances of getting pregnant again quickly. I do use protection tho. Is it possible that by having two pregnancies so close together I have messed up my mentstrual cycle?

I'm wondering about the MMR jab. I have 4 little ones and I am wondering when they should get the jag-my doctor has said nothing about it.

What age should children be getting it? When should the doctor bring up the idea?

my brother once again lost it with me and pulled a knife on me from my kitchen and cut my arm. he was then restrained by my husband and i called the police - he was arrested but what happens now?

my younger brother (who lives with my husband and i) has just been expelled from his school after several warnings and aprt-exclusions - he is 15 years old and 6'2, i am 24 and only 5'3. He moved in with my husband and i when he was 13 after a few years in foster care. He behaved badly then but nothing compared to how he is now - if allowed out he will drink heavily and take drugs, if he kept in he attempts to hurt me and his little neices and nephews (who are one years-triplets and 5 months old). he frequenlty threatens me with physical violence and as he is far taller than me i am honestly frightened!!

i have no clue what to do about this situation - i have to take care of my babies but i know i need to take care of him too - the school recommended therapy but when i told him he had to go he pulled a kitchen knife on me.

My husband is working lots nowadays and so am i to support our family.

does anyone have any advice

my friend recently told me that she and her husband frequently have sex in the room while their 1 year old sleeps in cot, right beside the - is this wrong and can it affect the baby in future -i no it looks like i am judging my friend but i was quite disgusted at this revelation to be honest

my one year old triplets have started walking and i would like to give them a bit more freedom when we are out - for example if we go shopping i want them to be able to get out of the trolley or something - so my husband and i have been discussing using those special harnesses you get for young children so they could still wonder and explore but safely and within seeing distance.

However they all had pretty bad colic and my daughter was even operated on for pyloric steonosis so i want to know if they are safe for young children to use

i have one year old triplets and a three month old and its fascianting to watch how my triplets (shaun, arran and ruby) interact with my baby daughter Molly Sophia. My best friend also has a one year old who, when she brings him over, is just awestruck at wee Molly!!!

has anyone ever noticed this with babies? Is it just extreme curiosity?

and was chatting to a woman the same age as me (24) and were talking about pregnancy/birth/and bringing up the fact that we both have four kids under the age of 5. As you do we had a wee moan to each other - sleepless nights/breastfeeding and the like. An older woman (who i know to be 48) then turned around and snapped at me telling me i should be grateful that i have four as she worked all her life and then found it difficult to concieve at her age (at the time she was 44) and ended up having to adopt so i have no right to complain when i have had babies young and she will have to pay all my benefits now - HOW WRONG IS THAT?

p.s I am fully qualified and working podiatrist with a first class honours degree and i work pretty much full time to support my young family along with my husband - i feel very put out by htis womans comments

wouldn't you?

in which film is it one of the chracters says loser, loser, loser before being told to shut up - it kinda goes - loser...............loser loser - deadly serious by the way!!
