[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 242353, member: 1233"] It is so awesome to hear that you have a psychiatrist and therapist and school staff that are working with you. Just having the psychiatrist go over all the medications and when and why they were rx'd was amazing!! I have had to fight tooth and nail to get that with some psychiatrists. Sending gentle hugs, and lots of support. For the water, maybe having a reward if she drinks X number of bottles during school, or in a certain amt of time at home would help? I know until last year our kids each had water bottles in class and were expected to drink at least 1 bottle per day (they refilled them). Do you have one of those dorm sized fridges? My parents kept mine when I moved out of the dorm. When they redid the kitchen they made a special cabinet around it to keep drinks in that is AWAY from the main cooking path. That way anyone can get a bottle of water with-o getting in the cook's way. The kids have always found it "cool" to get a chilled bottle of water out of it. They drink more water that way AND since they can be resealed, we don't dump half empty bottles of water. I have the same at my house, minus the fancy cabinet built for it. We use various things to mark which bottle is which persons. Elastics for ponytails work well when each person has a color. There are also a LOT of things designed to go around wine glasses that work on the tops of the water bottles. Those might be a neat "carrot" to encourage drinking. Also, not sure your school knows this, but Nestle Pure Life water bottles have a label collecting program to benefit the school. You would have to go to the nestle water bottle site to get more info. It includes all the flavored waters AND the unflavored ones. "Drink Water so we can earn X for school" was a good carrot at our school. First it was to earn playground equipment (the equipment was old in 1983 when I moved to Stillwater and was still there in 2006, so the kids REALLY wanted an upgrade!) Awesome appointment, and you are a great mom. Hugs, susie [/QUOTE]
