[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 572530, member: 1169"] This makes me a little sad. J seems like such a neat kid but he is struggling at school and in the community because of his hyperactivity and low impulse control. At his age, he is forming his identity. Developmentally, he is developing a strong desire to have a good friend, wants to do well, will be sensitive to criticism, and finds a sense of security in his belonging to peer groups. While every child needs both successes and failures to learn, J is having a lot more failures and rejections than other 6 year olds. Tigger has multiple disabilities that impact his behavior. Occassionally he talks about what it was like before we found his current medication combo which has given him great control over his behavior, he calls it "back when I was a lonely" and it breaks my heart. He knew that his behavior was causing the rejections, he just couldn't do anything about it. I'd be worried that J will develop an image of himself as not quite good enough because that is a huge part of the feedback the world is giving him. Stims are quick in and quick out. The short-acting versions are less likely to cause issues with sleep. (Although Eeyore and Piglet have no difficulty sleeping.) There are also non-stims: clonodine, inderol, etc. that are calming. Many times children who need stims at younger ages are able to wean off of them at older ages as they mature and their social work sessions give them better skills to control themselves. [/QUOTE]
