Morning Family Room Forumites. So I can't believe that April is nearly here and suddenly the next ED Birthtalk (the Positive Birth group for East Dulwich) is upon us. I have a slight hitch in my plans for April's group, namely that I cannot be available on this coming Thursday morning, so I'd like to suggest switching the schedule and running it on the LAST Thursday in April instead of the first. And in fact I would like in future to run all the monthly sessions on the last Thursday in the month instead of the first. The format will remain the same with alternate mornings and evening sessions (Aprils will be a morning group, May will be an evening).


SO this Months ED Birthtalk will be held on Thursday April 23rd 10am-12pm. The topic is "Am I allowed?", and for the venue please PM me as it's at my house. Anyone is welcome. It's a morning session so babies/toddlers/children are welcome too. Tea/coffee & biscuits are provided (though a bit basic so if anyone attending is a baker please feel free to bring cake/homemade biccys etc.etc.). The idea is that we get to sit and chat about birth positively.


I admit to a second reason for changing the timing. EAch month the other national Positive Birth group facilitators post ideas and information about how they cover the monthly topic on their Facebook Group. If we hold our group at the end of the month I get to glean the best idea's and cherry pick the best visual aids if any are posted to help our discussions. A bit selfish, but I wan the best for the Ed group :D


Lastly,I would re-iterate this is NOT a natural birth group. We aim to be positive and find positivity in every and all kinds of birth. The focus is on your experience and for views and how as a society we can encourage a more positive reflection of the range of birth experiences. This group welcomes anyone at all who would like to spend a couple of hours chatting with other people interested in the way we think and talk about birth in our society and others.


Hope to see some of you at the end of the month.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
