[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 396049, member: 805"] Liz, every one of our difficult children is so totally different! You are going to get many differing opinions based on our own unique experiences! For my difficult child, my medication philosophy has always been medicate for success. For my son, that really was limited to school and some social/family obligations (especially when he was younger and the hyperactivity and impulsivity were at their peak). For our family, having him hyper, impulsive and inattentive at home was doable. Surely it created some stress from time to time, but I preferred to not medicate unless really, really necessary. Now that he is 15, the hyperactive is pretty much gone and the impulsivity is often tempered with maturity (not always, but more than 50% of the time). For us, weekends, school holidays, and summer are medication-free (stims) times. Go with your gut and what works best for your difficult child and the entire family as a whole. Sharon [/QUOTE]
