DIY  2lb Weighted Sensory Blanket 

From Friendship Circle (also link to 4 additional DIY Weighted Blankets) here:

How Heavy are Weighted Blankets?

A weighted blanket is a blanket that is heavier than your standard blanket. Weighted blankets usually range from 4 to 25 pounds

How Do Weighted Blankets Help?

A weighted blanket provides pressure and sensory input for individuals with autism and other disorders.

A weighted blanket can be used as a calming tool or for sleep. The pressure of the blanket provides proprioceptive input to the brain and releases a hormone called serotonin which is a calming chemical in the body. A weighted blanket calms and relaxes a person similar to the way a hug or Temple Grandin’s Squeeze machine does.

You can find these blankets for sale on Amazon, Etsy, etc… and they are expensive. Pieces by Polly uses polypropylene weighted stuffing pellets to add weight to the blanket.

If someone can't be bothered to take the time to care for their own child or even change his dirty diaper, don't trust them to watch your kid. Ever. For any reason.

Wisdom is knowing that: You don't know everything, You have not done everything, You will be wrong sometimes, You are not always the smartest person in the room, Everyone can teach you something in one way or another, Not all females are ladies, Children learn by what they see and hear, You are responsible for your actions, And having a high IQ DOES NOT MAKE YOU WISE.

Dolls.

The other day my sister in law took a Barbie away from my two year old son. “No, boys don’t play with dolls, that’s not for you.” I ducked back into his room and came out with his cupie doll. “Hey! I found your baby.” She looked busted. What are people scared of? That our little boys might learn to be good big brothers and take care of younger children? That they might grow up to be amazing dads, uncles, pediatricians, teachers, and childcare workers? Gee that would be terrible. Yeah, we should definitely take dolls away from little boys.

Loud.

In a disagreement, being the loudest person in the room does not make you bigger, stronger, more intelligent, more right, or less stupid. It does however shut down people’s willingness to listen to anything worth hearing that you have to say. No one likes to be yelled at; especially not by someone who they see as having no authority over them. When you need to get attention by raising your voice, don’t yell more than two words. Then speak calmly but forcefully, projecting your voice. By saying only what needs to be said and and making your point in as way that relates on a personal level with your audience, your audience will be more open and willing to listen to what you have to say than if you had just yelled at them.
