[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 366393, member: 8617"] If my difficult child even just takes his a.m. medications a couple hours late we can pretty much kiss our evening goodbye. Thankfully as he gets older he is willing to accept some suggestion that he does have "moods" that he *may* want to try to think himself through before digging a deep hole of trouble. It's amazing how these medications take weeks to get to a therapeutic level in the blood stream but can stop working in a day?!?!? I would be "funny" and teach my husband some natural consequences (something we are teaching difficult child) by making him handle/deal with difficult child until the kiddo got back on track. A few hours to a couple days of difficult child-ness and he will never forget medications again! That was just mean spirited of me wasn't it? lol Not to make too lite of the situation...hang in there. After a few bumps you'll be back on track of your usual roller coaster. It only feels like forever. try to keep the potential shift in mind and be prepared so difficult child isn't put into any situations you know will probably end poorly. ie:not a day for sitting still while adults talk and visit. Sometimes knowing why and how the behaviors arise makes it easier for me to be understanding. [/QUOTE]
