Child Harmony Blend by Essential three for Children with Autism/Aspergers

Most of my readers know that I have a child with Aspergers.  It is very hard to deal with sometimes.  Do not get me wrong most times he is the most loving, empathic child I ever met.  He does have a few meltdowns.  They are rare now but now I know I can head them off. 

I have heard tons of great things with essential oils.  How they can heal, calm and do so much more.  It is a fact for me because I have used lavender on me for a while.  I have awful tremors that require all the help I can get.  My arms and legs shake bad.  Mostly I use Chamomile and lavender for me to calm my herbs. They really help me and I know they do work.  I would love to try the adrenal blend by Essential Three for me sometime. 

Here are a few sites on the health benefits of essential oils:

2. https://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/natural-essential-oils/list-of-essential-oils.html 

 Here is what Essential three site:

1. Child Harmony Spray
2. Child Harmony Oil Blend

Recently I got a chance to try Essential three's Child Harmony Blend which is great for children with Autism, ADHD and many others.  My son uses the spray or roll on when he starts feeling the slightest bit upset as it begins and it works like magic!  He even notices himself calming down within minutes of using the oil.  He likes them and carries them in his tote along with his Nintendo DS so he can use them at any time.  He needs it the most when we are out at the store because he really hates stores.  He rubs it on and boom he is fine and starts playing his game system while I shop.  It does not get easier....

My son has improved on this product and actually likes to use it!

I highly recommend this for any family but especially for the ones dealing with things such as Autism and or Aspergers.

Smart-Fab Review

 I am a teacher and love this!  The fabric is very versatile and holds up well,  You can do nearly any kind of craft you can think of with this Smart-Fab.  Many times I am disappointed with materials I buy for my students because it does not hold up to little kids but not this.  This is wonderful.  Light, Breathable, and fun.  We used Red, White and blue for some July fun!  If you can think of it you can do it with this.  Try it in your classroom.  I think it is simply amazing!

Autism and it's Many Forms

Researching Autism and there are so many opinions on how it started so I was curious how do you think it works?  I have heard Shots, weak immune systems and much more.  What do you believe?  How do you feel about Autism on the Rise?  What area of the spectrum are you or your kids on? Are you kids on a special Diet?  What gave you the first clues your child was Autistic.   I really want to know your opinions on the subject so please comment.

I was thinking I really do not talk about it it much because I hate labeling but I think it really do some good for us to think about it and discuss it.  

My son is now 12 and I used to have him on the GFCF diet but its too expensive when you live off disability.    He is always first and we strive for it.  I noticed something was different around 2 when he didn't talk much and had problems with small motor skills.  He had breathing apnea as a baby and I had to give him CPR once and he was hospitalized for a few days for testing.  There is nothing scarier than having to perform CPR on your infant,   At least in my opinion.  

Then there was school. We sent our son to early childhood special Education classes at 4 but he completely shut off and stop talking.  He loved school at first but then he had a quick and sudden change.  He cried when we took him.   The teacher let other mothers stay to help but one day when Timmy was having a really big issue about me leaving I told him that I would stay for a few minutes.  The teacher immediately turned to me and said "No.  You can not stay.".  This worried me and that day after school he came home with an injury on his back.  It was a fifty cent piece size scratch on his back and he was running a fever.  I was terrified and rushed him to the Children's Hospital ER.   The doctor asked me if he hit his head and I just picked him up from school so I had no Idea.  He recommended I call the his teacher to find out.  In the Emergency room waiting room I borrowed the phone and called his teacher.  I then asked her if she knew that Timmy had got hurt today during school time.  She then freaked out yelling "I have a large amount of students and can not see them all the time."  After that she also raised her voice acting very hysterical.  This did not sit right with me.  It bothered me so much that The next morning I informed the public school system and his teacher that Timmy would not  be returning.  

I homeschool now and its hard and challenging but so worth it.  I can tailor everything to his learning style and give him all the attention he needs.  We take him to homeschool classes at local places such as the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo, Children's Museum, and Garden Classes.  He gets lots of social interaction and has his cousin over every week.  

Let me just say for now I am keeping my opinion on how Autism activates in a child closed but I will respond and maybe tell you my opinions if I get others writing to me.  If you Homeschool also which curriculums do you use? Do you buy one or make it up.  I started out with Calvert but I could not afford it anymore.  Feel free to let me know anything you feel on the subject of Autism.
