[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 30263, member: 3419"] Hi Christine, our difficult child is somewhat similar but I think part of it is that we had forgotten how bad he was b4 he was on the medications! There is a rebound effect, too. Our difficult child is very, very cranky and downright mean when he doesn't get enough sleep. (We had a case of that this a.m.) I think the medications, in our case, calm him down and allow him to think and make logical judgments. When he's not on them, every little thing makes him angry. We are seeing a child psychiatric, too, because we want our difficult child to learn to control and channel his emotions with-or with-o the medications. Even when he is not on medications now, when he gets really, really angry, out of context, just like your difficult child, he doesn't hit me any more. This took about 3 mo's of concerted effort on our parts. I have read The Explosive Child and several of Dr. Rosemond's books and they have some really good ideas, too. (The problem is remembering them when I'm in the middle of one of difficult child's meltdowns!) [/QUOTE]
