[QUOTE="klmno, post: 151040, member: 3699"] Thanks everyone! difficult child said he wasn't so jittery today and he thinks it is the seroquel helping (although he has only had one dose). I guess another kid up there was telling him that he's on lithium and it made him jittery too, until he had seroquel added. difficult child said "Mom, I don't feel so alone anymore!" That made my day! He has priviledges to go out of the wing, just not off hospital grounds, so I took him pizza, wings, decaf/diet soda and we had a little "picnic" this afternoon. He still seems very emotionally fragile to me though. I think I'll pick up that book- I'm going to the bookstore this weekend to get my mom a book, so I will look for it. I had been thinking about taking the school cm and principal a copy of The Explosive Child. Another one I liked- New Hope for Child & Adolescent Bipolar. The cm had started off this meeting saying how he used to be a counselor for ed kids and had worked at a psychiatric hospital before. I find it harder to communicate when someone believes their previous experience has made them an expert, but it is still obvious that they don't get it. It seems like they aren't very open-minded to new ideas or strategies, so what do you have to go through to get them to see that the conventional behavior management just won't work with some kids, and with some (like mine), it makes things worse? Keep the ideas coming - I might try them all!! [/QUOTE]
