[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 222221, member: 6271"] Myya: Welcome. In my mind seeking answers and help is a sign of a caring parent. My son is adhd and takes concerta and he has a crash in the afternoon too. He has talked about it and it is also very difficult for him. The self awareness that he has now about it is encouraging to me as he does notice that some types of things are just not as effeciant for him to even attempt. In terms of parenting I feel that it is so important to bare in mind that managing his own needs around these things may be a life long area. So what I do say to him is with the idea that these are the loops that will run through his head later. I do all I can to give sucsinct directions, praise good behavor and to have repectful breaks that acknowledge his needs. Like afterschool. When the crash time is happening. I found it was easier when he learned to read well enough that he could get wrapped up in a book. I read to my son alot...hours, and it is one straight forward and simple way to redirect, center and focus even adhd kids. I kept my adhd in walkmans and he listened to books on tape with relish for years. HE chose to listen to classic literature, greek plays an unbelievable amount of wide ranging things because he had already heard the others at the library. I do not know so much about the ODD. But one of my sons freinds is one and although I have no trouble with him his mother he works her...oh my god. Does it get easier...I will tell you this. IT seems to me that as a mother whenever I have things well in hand. The house is running smoothly, the dishes laundry are inorder I have a moment to relax...then a new developemental stage, another challenge,crissis,bigger than ever mess...what seems so is that what gets easier is the part where as a parent you are on it and doing what needs to be done. I think that this parenting process especially with children who have quirkes and all that involves we are learning alot as we go along and that we get quicker at, more confident to exurt ourselves and we persue the resourses more readily. Talk over the perscription with the perscribing doctor and also the pharmasist. I feel that having a really good understanding and sence of what is what makes the choices we make for our kids our best option.
