[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 393915, member: 1722"] Medication compliance for a 10 year old is, in my opinion, compulsory and one of the most important items to go in "Basket A". I think KTMom is on the right track.... natural consequences: He [B]will[/B] take his medications but the nausea is in his control by eating his breakfast. Duckie isn't on a stimulant, but she does have some important allergy/asthma medications that must be taken regularly and she hates it because her friends don't have these issues. She's been told since she was very young that everyone has issues/challenges and it's ultimately her responsibility to take care of herself... and that includes taking her medications. Would it be simpler to get them into him as soon as he wakes up? How about making breakfast a more "special" meal in the house (i.e. eggs or pancakes rather than cereal or yogurt)? How about a small weekly reward if he takes his medications without issue? I'm thinking along the lines of choosing a video for the family to watch, which game to play on family game night, or he chooses what to have for dinner one night a week. [/QUOTE]
