[QUOTE="tclk3, post: 152526, member: 58"] For years mornings were the most stressful time of day at our house. My son has always had a very difficult time waking up and once he's up he's not fit to be around until his medications kicked in. Major attitude,ornery, cranky and generally disagreeable was the tone each morning. When he was 12 I started going in 20 minutes before he needed to be up, waking him enough to take his medications and then let him go back to sleep. Then when it's time to get up, his Concerta has kicked in making it easier to actually wake up in addition to improving his general attitude and behaviors. On weekends and during the summer he gets up and takes his medications on his own. He is now 17 and I am still using this strategy every school day and I am able to get out the door and drive to school with out an overwhelming desire to strangle him . [/QUOTE]
