[QUOTE="KitKat, post: 117222, member: 4518"] Wow That parallels my experience with my stepson. He was diagnosed in 2002 (9 yrs) and has been on Concerta which is a slower release and is meant to avoid the crashes you spoke about. I am NOT sure if I am right about this, but anything, anything at all that can help your daughter to feel better about herself might help at home. Hockey helps with my son, albeit temporarily. We are at the same stage with him now (15.5 yrs old) as you are with your ten-year-old. Is it possible though that calling the police on her will just harden her resolve to be oppositional? We did find that with my stepson. His basic attitude now is "who cares - do what you want to me - I will not change". We're getting additional help but I don't have that answer and I wonder what we could have done differently. Good luck to you. These kids weaken and destroy family harmony (it appears to be their main objective in life) by causing arguments, instigating negative behaviour among their peers and siblings (they need somebody on their side) and the whole vicious circle just keeps repeating itself. I am more than sure that you are aware of this. I'd be interested in reading more about your experiences. Also, don't forget about your own health. I did, and I pay for it regularly. I had enough sense to get back into riding and bought my first horse a few years ago (finally!) and my step daughter who also lives with us has taken up the sport and has shown huge talent on the show circuit. Of course, that makes her big brother very jealous! [/QUOTE]
