[QUOTE="Roxona, post: 688067, member: 19076"] Still, Sister, that's a bushel of kids! We have six all together, and I'm so thankful we only have three at home...and that the girls live with their mom. I've come to realize there's a reason why my high power only gave me one. I don't know why I didn't listen! :9-07tears: It works in much of the same way. He freaks out and gets up out of bed, and I tell him to stop and go back to bed. The consequence is that if he gets out of bed again (except for going potty), he has to go to bed early the next night. I forgot to mention another effect we have experienced with this change, is that SS10's behavior in school has been drastically better. We started giving him 5mg of Ritalin at about the same time, so scientifically I don't know if the medications or the bedtime change are having more of an effect. We started the medications over the weekend, but didn't see any measurable change. After Monday, Hubby wanted to up the dose to 10 mg, but I said no. School is a more structured environment than our home on the weekend, and I wanted to see how the entire week looked. He had a really good morning at school, but I wanted to see how the new night time routine helped too, so Hubby reluctantly agreed. SS10 had a perfect day at school on Tuesday, and Wednesday was good as well. So, interesting things are happening here, and I'm happy to report our early results. [/QUOTE]
