When is the good time to tell the company that I am 3 months pregnant. My date of joining is 18th of July. I understand by law I need to finish 80days with the company before I avail maternity benefits which I can easily do in next 3 months.
I want to understand if women who go on maternity leave during probation are treated differently or if there will be discrimination once I let them know about my situation. Wipro Accenture Allstate Quantiphi analytics pvt ltd.

my son has big meltdowns. one thing that helps is taking him outside. I usually will literally carry him outside and just go for a walk. he sometimes fights me but I just go. he's sometimes screaming and I just hope neighbors don't hear. I do a loop around my block. he's 7 and heavy and I just carry him and go. I don't say anything just let him and often he'll start to calm down.
My son has adhd and had tantrums when he was younger but doesn’t anymore … I found if he didn’t sleep well things were so much worse so tried to make sure he wasn’t over tired. We had a therapist help him find ways to control his reactions.. like taking deep breaths and that helped. My son has the attention version but does have social issues and is often made fun of at school which breaks my heart. He is 11 and as he gets older he os beginning to find ways to help himself .. so things go get better. Just give yourself Grace too .. as I know my own patience is often tried and I find my reactions can make it worse
just wanted to reply to your last sentence because it's key. more often than not I can see them coming so I brace myself physically and emotionally to his meltdown. I can absolutely make it worse if I'm escalated as well. he is score to calm down way quicker if I stay calm.
Hold your hands up and let him push with his hands as long and hard as he can until he calms down.
While not ADHD, my daughter has anxiety. Epic meltdowns happen fairly regularly. She sees a therapist weekly. My husband and I have gone to family therapy to gain more parenting techniques. Generally, it requires lots of patience and forgiveness all around. ASAP after a meltdown, we try to get her moving (walk/run) or doing yoga poses. Anything to help ground her and get her breathing. She has a new weighted stuffed animal that she hugs. Try to remind your child that they are not broken or less than others---their brains/bodies just work differently than others. Best of luck!
Yes, lots of hugs and patience. For us, it usually means there’s something else going on that’s causing emotions to build up and making emotional regulation hard. It’s super hard, my 7 year old had a big one tonight about a sticker.
My child is also 7. Outside is great advice and agree this does help her calm down but tonite was too big to even get her outside :/
I’ve been wondering if she also has anxiety since a lot of times it’s a comorbidity with adhd. It is so hard but these are all amazing tips. Thank you!
