[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 235631, member: 6271"] GVCmom: The uncooperative off the medication....that sounds familiar (pardon the pun). My son is adhd and he started taking his medication on his own as soon as he asked Me if he could do so. He ususally does remember to take them. he takes them every morning (and he showers and uses deodarant). there have been times when he has forgotten his medications. I keep a dose in my purse for these odd occations. When he was not meeting his obligations and responcibilities as I have posted about here...I took the medication self care over along with all the other things. You know I think that there are vivide learning oppertunities and as parents we have to set them up and wait for the moment that will carry our child into the rest of their lives armed with the empowerment...and hopefully bringing a smile to their face as they remember Mom. Clearly my son is not cooperative in the morning befor school. As he has matured he is uncooperative in a more aware manner. when he was in k he had to wake and eat breakfast and then walk far to get to school. He one time refused to eat and threw away his breakfast. I took him to school and told his teacher that he was coming to school hungry and unfed because he refused his breakfast. With teens a more effective approach may be to wake them up earlier and give them their medication so that they are waking up in an hour or so with the benefits aiding them to shower and eat and brush their teeth. For adhd the best care is to excersise. To get up and run or walk fast or swim or bike hard for an hour or two and then shower and eat breakfast and then go to school. I think alot of families are missing out on the early morning hours as a time to do school work and to get started on the day. [/QUOTE]
