[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 560129, member: 3419"] Hi Julierose, I think I saw you on another thread. Anyway, when my son first used clonidine, I think it was a half a pill. He was nine yrs old. We could tell the difference immediately. I don't know why it would take so long for you. Also, be aware that schizophrenia can be mis-diagnosed when it's actually bipolar with-psychotic episodes. So if you are worried that your daughter may be schizophrenic, it may be bipolar. Be very careful with-the medications. I would not use anything in the Prozac family, for example. Just my humble opinion. Also, have you read The Manipulative Child, The Out of Sync Child, The Defiant Child, or What Your Explosive Child is Trying to Tell You, ? All very good books.

The idea is that you parent these children differently. You may want to say, "Yes, you may have a Popcicle after you clean your room," instead of, "No, you can't, because your room is dirty." For whatever reason, our kids glom onto the word "No" and it sticks in their minds and they explode. They cannot handle the stress of having their plans go awry. So we have to lead them in the direction they want to go. [/QUOTE]
