[QUOTE="Malika, post: 635752, member: 11227"] Thanks, Liahona. Well, I [I]think[/I] J is "improving"... his attention seems better. Playing football this morning, he tried really hard, concentrated when he needed to and scored a goal (I felt absurdly proud). Then he worked well for about half an hour with the boy who comes to help him with his homework - I don't think this would have happened a few weeks ago. But I begin to see that giving a child these medications is also a process of realising that there is NO magic pill and letting go of that illusion. After this good start, it all went downhill as he got irritable with his friend and then angry, lashing out at us both. Same old, same old, in other words. It all began with him getting upset because he fell down and his friend laughed at him - the sort of thing he has done with other kids. Of course I pointed that out, but the penny doesn't really drop. [/QUOTE]
