[QUOTE="peachybear25, post: 203514, member: 6127"] Thank you all for your suggestions. To answer a few questions, she is currently taking Vyvanse. - when I can get it in her. She won the battle this morning. I have been strong for two weeks, but I couldn't do it today. Last night and this morning she has taken up hitting and kicking. :sad-very: I take her to a child psychologist (can't perscribe medications) so she has someone to talk to and workthought issues with. The medications are being perscribed by a child specialist at our clinic's behavior management department. I am really starting to dislike the man - but he knows his stuff and is very highly recommended and a pain to get an appointment with. I truely think that he doesn't believe me when I save she won't take it. He is the one that is saying she has Tourette's (he is a specialist with that too), but can't give her an 'official' diagnosis until she has had symptoms for a year? or something of that sort. I am kind of flying my the seat of my pants with that one. All I know is that when her ticks start - it really freaks me out. With the medications. I have tried sticker charts - no go. Ice cream worked for about a week last year. Pudding - hit or miss. Every drink under the sun - hit or miss. I know that the medications don't taste too - I have tried it (sometimes I think that I get more than her). I did talk with her teacher today though. They would like to try to give it too her at school in the morning. I am game for anything. We will see if she will do it for them. I have started taking things away from her. She did get a little violent when she couldn't play with the Wii last night. But, it gets to the point where she doesn't care if I take things away either. She just says fine and walks away. Boy - that stubborn gene is a good one. I hope this info helps. [/QUOTE]
