Hello friends,

I wanted to share a product with you all.

If you have, or know someone with kiddos, who elope, this product is on sale right now, and will prevent them from being able to turn the doorknob to get out.

This is a renter friendly and inexpensive way to help protect our kiddos who can get out and run in the blink of an eye.

(They’re also great for bathroom doors if your kiddo likes to flush everything)

This is free to set up and use on a computer/laptop/chromebook.

They do have an app but it is a one time download fee.

For Apple’s App Store the fee is around $9

The app says for ages 4+ but if your kiddo can use a mobile device or Chromebook, they can use this.

Highly recommend.

Friends:

This morning I got an email for saying that the information I sent LAST year isn’t valid and I have to send new information to keep Ezra eligible for TEFRA.

No timeline. Just more demands.

I don’t understand why they continue to make life harder for parents of children with different abilities. 😞

This would be great to attend if you need help with your kiddo in school.
