[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 302036, member: 3419"] So sorry I'm late to this. Klmno, you beat me to it! I was thinking the same thing, that difficult child doesn't have a clue as to what her real condition is, but she's terrified that she might choke or just gag on the pills. IOW, once she learns how easy they are to take, she won't put on the show that the pills are for her behavior, etc. It took a psychiatric hospital visit to get our difficult child to swallow pills and once he got home, it was a completely different world. These kid overreact about everything. To them, smacking you across the face, breaking a chair, and breaking a window is no big deal, if it will get them out of taking a pill or doing a chore they don't want to do. Also, kids are very clever at NOT taking pills. I love your description of your daughter's face, the sour look, etc., and then she never took it! We found pills in my son's bedroom between the mattress and box spring; in the urns in the livingroom; in between the cushions on the couch, you name it. I think he swallowed only 50% of what he was given. Best of luck! I feel for you. [/QUOTE]
