[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 154624, member: 3444"] We've had to adjust our routine to accommodate difficult child's for similar reasons. When they were about that age, we had the same problems. Part of it was the medications not out of their system completely. Part of it was just their anxiety. Sometimes difficult child 2 still has trouble settling down. So our evenings are very quiet once the difficult child's head for bed. No TV, no loud chores, no music. husband goes to bed early, and I usually end up on the computer, since it's in the main room and that way I can hear if anybody gets up or needs something. The difficult child's know I'm up and in the next room, so that is reassuring for them. After they're asleep for a little while, I can sometimes turn the TV on low and enjoy something for a bit. Sometimes I feel like I live on another planet because of this routine because I don't have shows on during prime time like the rest of the world. So when my pals start yammering about American Idol or Dancing with the Stars or whatever the rest of the world watches, I'm sitting there clueless... or should I say, even more clueless than usual!
