[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 53818, member: 2423"] Sharon, we don't have the problem with medications flying across the room, but we sometimes face the "I'm not taking them" from difficult child 1. Instead of a consequence, I ask him what would make it easier for him to take them. Sometimes he comes up with something he wants to do before he takes them, sometimes it's a "candy chaser" following his medications, sometimes he wants me to do something before he takes them. I try to engage his cooperation in the process because I know he's going to have to take these medications for years. At a quiet time apart from the time he actually takes his medications, you might want to ask difficult child why he's sending his medications flying across the room. Depending on his answer, you might want to ask him if he can think of a better way to handle it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
