any suggestions for work at home?

We Answered:

I know a lot about this topic so please forgive the length of this reply. I have a lot of good info for you. I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home "jobs" and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.

Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home.

What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Many say a JOB stands for Just Over Broker and I have found that to be true as well. I never got anywhere working for others.

Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less then $100 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $300, $500 even some asking for $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it. The real ones will have a small monthly overhead as well. Should be around $50 a month but no more then $75. And everything should be included from your web sites to training and team support to back office accounting and booking. It’s ok to pay this overhead because it’s a business, they cost money. It’s not reasonable to assume you can run a business from home with a website and more for free so do keep that in mind as you search.

If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.

I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls as I mentioned, ages 1 and 3. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a home business, a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year now and I make over $2000 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $300 to over $3000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of the year I will be making $5000 a month. My friend Becky from South Carolina started 2 years before me and she is now making $95,000 a year with this company.

The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me.

I absolutely love working with them and I can't believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!

I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” and the “American Medical Review”. Even “60 Minutes” with Morley Safer did a big special on this home based business.

Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at these stores that I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the dental and vision benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : - )

When I first started I just felt very safe with them, that and my friend was already making so much money with Ameriplan. But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOVING what you do? What could be better?

Speech problems?

We Answered:

Often times people that have speech or fluency (stuttering) problems will do VERY well when they sing or read. This is actually a therapy technique. If you have insurance, it should cover an assessment by a Speech Pathologist. Or, you may check with your local college, they often provide services on a sliding fee scale whether or not you are a student at the college. Where I live, the waiting list to see a Speech Pathologist is very long so I would recommend calling for an assessment as soon as possible. If money is an issue and you don't have insurance you may ask if they have a different fee schedule for clients without insurance. Good Luck!

Any test for autistic children like hair ,blood, urine test and?

We Answered:

Why did they diagnose him so late? Just a question for you.
OK, Early intervention is really the only way to succeed with minimal help through life. I worked in both a public school with autistic children and in a special school for them. We have an center for the autistic but that is usually where the worst cases go for all day or the children from public school go for tutoring. The best thing I can advise is to let your child be with the regular children, if he is only around autistic children he will have a hard time learning and developing normal. Seeing both sides first hand I know that the best place for them is will everyone. What I think is that autistic children are very smart children stuck in a handicap body. They feel pain, happiness, sadness, and love most of all. The same-things we feel so we should treat them the same way. Maybe looking into a private Lutheran christian school, they tend to be a little more hands on and the kids in school seem to behave alot better if you are worried about the bullies.
Home based therapy along with all the rest is absolutely needed. Also check out www.mercola.com and you can get into a autistic workshop, and also find a natural approach to helping your son. I know that I don't live in your area to help with that question. If ever need anyone to talk to about it I would be more than happy to. Take care of your self I know this can be hard.
