[QUOTE="Andy, post: 353359, member: 5096"] Unconditional love is not turning your back on helping your child have a good life. I am sure you love him wholeheartedly and accept him as he is. On this board, we all love our kids unconditionally and accept them as they are but are fighting to make life better for them. Struggling to pull those great characteristics out that will make them accept themselves and be comfortable with who they are. We see the talents our kids have and are trying to guide them to use those talents. No different from any good parents of easy child's. Just because it is more of a struggle with difficult child's doesn't mean it is wrong to do. I am sorry the medications did not work for you. As kids grow, their bodies change and the effects of medications change also. If you do decide to try the medication route again, find a different doctor, one who will really listen to YOUR concerns. My difficult child's psychiatrist takes my worries about the side effects into consideration and works with me to find the right medication and how to use the medication that he and I both can feel comfortable with. psychiatrist listens immediately if I become uncomfortable with how a side effect of a medication is effecting difficult child. My difficult child is 11 yrs old and just started Ritalin about two months ago. It has changed his attitude about homework around. He now comes home and does the work on his own without being asked. It works for him but I know each kid is different and it may not be what your child needs. Is there a Summer program available to catch up on some of the classes? [/QUOTE]
