[QUOTE="catwoman2, post: 17399, member: 2533"] I agree that some days if difficult child hasn't been given medications, it can be a very "hyper" day for all concerned at the school. I just don't like the way the teacher asks difficult child about her medications all the time, and alot of the time it's in front of other children. The other kids in her class are all aware that she takes medications, and sometimes they call her names because of that. Ultimately, that can cause difficult child to become agitated, creating a "bad day". There are very few days where husband has forgotten to give her her medications, but because he works midnights and is asleep during the day, I have no way of knowing if difficult child had her medications that day. As most of us know, our children being on medications isn't the magic cure ( although it would be nice) and most times if difficult child has a bad day, she is on her medications. The school has also asked if we could give her an extra half dose in the afternoon to help her finish the day. I find that on some days, difficult child is pretty "wound" by the time she gets home, but according to the school, this usually doesn't start until around 3:00. If I were to give her more medications in the afternoon, she would never get to sleep, as that's one of the side effects that I find bothers her the most. Sometimes I get the feeling that the school expects perfect behavior or else they want me to up the medication dose. I appreciate when they call to tell me if difficult child has had an "off" day because i keep track of this info for the pediatrician., but I just hate when they imply that "maybe difficult child could be taking a higher dose".
