I'm a teacher and autism mama. You are doing great! My oldest is on the spectrum and youngest is not. Both of them love the Happy Numbers site. They have prek and up. I get a lot of worksheets for them on Edhelper as well and right now it is free. Lots of free worksheets and activities online. You are doing great with Ella. She is adorable and doing so great. 25 minutes of focus is amazing!
My son couldn't sit still for school - he would be hanging off the chair upside down - somehow he still heard everything and knew the answers! Amazing autistic kids! Ella is doing so good! You are a very patient mommy! I like how you suggest a break when she's getting frustrated.
That was an awesome redirect!! “Ah, you can just ask for a break”. It reminded Ella that her words have power and gives the control of self regulation into Ella’s hands. That increases her sense of safety and trust both in her mamma (or therapist or teacher or whoever) and in herself! One of the reasons I love watching this channel (and it was the first channel of autism families I found when I started looking, funnily enough) was what a good job of learning, adapting and teaching that Lauren does. And Lauren’s mom reminds me of mine in a lot of ways.
I love how your taking this this time to work with Ella on things she may not be the best at.And how your working through the autism moments and staying positive.
Omg she is so cute! That smile, and the way she scrunches up her shoulders. She has great inflection in oral reading!! She is super expressive, and you guys have great interaction. Well done homeschooling mamma. Glad that you’re feeling better and more focused. 🤗 love and prayers.
Here’s a tip something I learned from our ABA therapist and what they do at the center my daughter goes to. Something I’ve alway overlooked and something my daughter can’t communicate to me if she’s uncomfortable. But making sure they have a table and chair that is appropriate to their size. Feet dangling can be very uncomfortable. Even using a stool or something under their feet at a big table. Having her feet flat on the floor or the ability to put her feet down on the floor has made a big difference. It has made all the difference getting my daughter to sit up and attend to the task. Something we’ve always struggled with. I homeschool her too and we always just had our dining table. But you guys rock and I just thought of this watching your vid! ❤️☺️
I have always loved thunder storms. When I was a little girl I used to sit by my opened window and be on the phone talking to my friends. My mom used to yell at me to close the window and get off the phone cause she was afraid I'd somehow get struck by the lightning 😂
Omg my mom too!! But when I was younger than Ella and there would be a storm ⛈ my mom would sit with me and my baby brother and we would count how close the storm was. So it’d be lightening and then we would count the seconds (with Mississippi’s) until we heard the thunder. When they came so close together that you couldn’t even get through 1 Mississippi the storm had reached us and we would cheer. It was always just a little sad as the Mississippi’s got longer and longer as the storm swept away. When I saw that Mamma and Ella were getting distracted by the lightening, and they were doing math time I was like what a perfect math exercise. And taking the distraction and making it into the lesson, without even noticing, cuz it’s fun.
I had major back issues right and left from 18 to 21 I had two surgeries that changed my life...unfortunately chiropractic couldn't help mine but does help me now tremendously with remaining flexible. If he ever has to have surgery to correct the problem a laminectomy would change his life. You go to sleep with pain and wake up pain free!
I'm proud of you John!! My dad is a Chiropractor so I've been used to it since I was a baby. It will take more than one visit, but they will get you on the road to recovery!!
Hi Ella...🙋😘 You did, awesome, with your school lessons. 👍👏 Good girl...🤗 So proud of you...You get two Gold Stars...⭐⭐ Have a great day..🌞😎 Love you, bunches...💜💛💙😍💖💝🦄🌈 Hey frands, Like your room switch, Lauren. I like switching things around in a room, too. Makes it look like a new space. Sorry about John's back. It looked like a lot of irritation going on in there. Prayers for a quick result in healing. 🙏🙏 Hope it doesn't affect his Trump voice. 😎📣😉 Take Care, all...😇 Love ya, bunches...😘❤💖💙💞
Hey Lauren, I am a sped teacher and have students who do not write well. My OT told me to use golf pencils! I found some on amazon with erasers and they made a huge difference.
lol, Ella and the storm! Very adorable. I have the same reaction with Thunder/Lightning! I grew up in Jacksonville, FL... Remember many summers lying in my bedroom with windows open as the sounds rattled through my room. I now Live in WA state and we have some doozy storms here! LOVE THEM!
Omg Ella has come such a long way! look at her sitting at the table doing academic work!!! I’m so proud of her!!! ❤️❤️❤️she’s gonna do so well when she starts school in the fall!!!
My gosh, Ella is so smart! She really seems to do so well with her schooling at home. My little has been a bit rebellious about doing hers, and it doesn't seem to help that the ADHD is strong with this one haha. I did get her an abacus from Amazon though and that seemed to make math more interesting! And the book Ella got looks like an awesome find! My daughter is so petrified about bugs where we live that she refuses to go outside right now :( Knowledge is power though, so I may look into that book to see if it helps her! We had a two hour meltdown today because we have a few carpenter ants getting in somehow, so that was super fun. I also looooove that Ella can let you know when she needs a break, we're still struggling on that one. Thanks again for always sharing! My daughter loves seeing Ella and asking about her
I'm the one who bought Ella that book, it's from Amazon Ultimate Bugopedia: The Most Complete Bug Reference Ever (National Geographic Kids) www.amazon.com/dp/1426313764/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_hY1HoHisLmix3
Girl... I drove from Orlando Yesterday to see the launch and nothing :( Ohh well Ill probably head back over there on Saturday! Hoping to see it go up!!
What kind of appointment He have this morning what time is his you are going to get more ☔ like a cat and dog doctor appointment today the weather is getting bad
Weird thing is as I was watching the Ella lessons part where you had a thunderstorm at that exact moment where I live was getting a thunderstorm with lightning
Hi Lauren I notice Ella seems to have a hard time holding the pencil properly. I found this article you might find interesting on different ways to help her with this skill. www.ot-mom-learning-activities.com/pencil-grips-for-kids.html Hope it might be of some use!
Omg i had to tell my husband the same thing yesterday “Tell them the truth” bc i swear if i dont remind him he wont tell the drs. Ella reminds me so much of James but as a girl. My husband was diagnosed w mild Chrones disease which is no fun but he is doing well for now.
i swear Ella is smarter than me. When you asked "What starts with the letter D" I was like what? Then I was like OH like what words start with the letter d 😂

I've had a terrible day, and seeing you smile while watching Ella learn is just so heartwarming and something I didnt know I needed to see!
I am so thrilled that Ella is doing so well and loves learning about bugs with her new book!
Ella is so smart shes such a good reader for a 7 year old
"Make sure you tell them the truth." Ha-ha! That's what I tell my husband before his doc appoint! That was funny!! Must be a universal thing!
Ella is so adorable. I am so proud of her reading skills.
Omg she is so cute! That smile, and the way she scrunches up her shoulders. She has great inflection in oral reading!! She is super expressive, and you guys have great interaction. Well done homeschooling mamma. Glad that you’re feeling better and more focused. 🤗 love and prayers.

Hi Lauren I notice Ella seems to have a hard time holding the pencil properly. I found this article you might find interesting on different ways to help her with this skill. www.ot-mom-learning-activities.com/pencil-grips-for-kids.html Hope it might be of some use!
Ella is so cute and sweet when she is being homeschooled. Imagine Ella seeing Chris Ulmer of SBSK.
I have missed your channel.. youtube must have unsubscibed me.. I finally found you again. :) Ella is AMAZING!
Omg i had to tell my husband the same thing yesterday “Tell them the truth” bc i swear if i dont remind him he wont tell the drs. Ella reminds me so much of James but as a girl. My husband was diagnosed w mild Chrones disease which is no fun but he is doing well for now.
i swear Ella is smarter than me. When you asked "What starts with the letter D" I was like what? Then I was like OH like what words start with the letter d 😂
Okay, I really thought she was just gonna blurt out....another word that started with A. 😂
Oh Ella, you’re too precious. 😆
Bioflex laser. Very expensive but life saving and life changing. Can’t recommend enough
Lauren, have you tried a first/then board with Ella? My students are much more attentive when I give them a first/then board. I emailed you pictures.
So good. She might like kid mode on the phone
Please send some rain over to the uk as it is 21c
Ella did so well today! How many minutes does Ella read a day?
JOHN! THE CHIRO CHANGED MY LIFE! lol
Stay golden pony boy 😍💜👌🏻
Lauren, I am trying to contact you about a really fun proposal, but I wanted to send it to you via email. Is that possible? Thanks!
Baby 👶🏻 Girl
