[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 549354"] I hear you with the pushing the other one away. I get very impatient with difficult child 2 when I've spent most of my energy just dealing with difficult child 1. But we can only do what we CAN do with what we have. Nothing is going to change that. As for the medications, difficult child 1 always took a "booster" of his ADHD medication in the early afternoon at school. The school nurse gave it to him. It helped him hold together through after school activities and homework but wore off at bedtime. I used a summer break to monkey around with the timing of that second dose and monitor (on paper) the maximum amount of time we could hold off on that second dose without it causing sleep issues OR wearing off too soon. I found that we can't wait any more that 6 hours to give that second dose. It's still working beautifully. [/QUOTE]
