[QUOTE="jennifer615, post: 549350, member: 15124"] Well, the book "The Explosive Child" arrived yesterday and I'm starting to read it. So much I can relate to. The pediatrician changed his dose a bit, and now he is prescribed strattera and dexamphetamine. It seems toa be working somewhat. He is not as hypo as usual. I give him his usual dose 36mg strattera in the morning and 1 dexamphetamine, then 1/2 a dexamphetamine when he comes home from school. I find that if I give him 1 dexo when he comes home, he can't sleep. I had a heart to heart with my daughter tonight. She seems to think that I push my youngest away alot. Right now I feel heartbroken. I love my youngewst with all my heart, he is so loving and has such a beautiful nature. I can see where this is true. I am so stressed with difficult child that I just don't give my youngest the attention he deserves. I MUST stop being impatient with his constant talking and spend more time with him. I suppose I'm so stressed out with difficult child that I sometimes neglect my beautiful 5 year old boy, who is so loving and deserves so much more. Right now I feel like a failure as a mother. It's so hard when I have ADD myself, and my mind is all over the place. Anyway, I'll see how the new medication is going and do the best to be the best mother I can be. My children are the loves of my life, and I just want to be a good mother. Thanks for listening. Jennifer x [/QUOTE]
