RE: Medicating Children with Additional Needs
absolutely @karenb54! I am prepared to try things if they help him become the best version of himself, especially as he is the one who wants the help and he is mindful enough to make those decisions with a little help from us too. Yes, I have also noticed the lack of appetite during the day. I have started giving him the meds after his breakfast to make sure he is eating before he goes to school. Unfortunately I can't keep track of him at school, but he says he is eating. Obviously when he gets home after school, I can make sure he eats his dinner :)
At night we made sure we had lots off things she could grab and eat. Plenty of cereal, chopped carrots, milky drinks. She filled up at might then didnt eat through the day, we found it worked then at the weekend she was free to do what she wanted. It worked for her :)
Yeah, appetite suppression is a problem with stimulants. Sounds like you found a good solution, though!
Thank you. It gave her a childhood with friends otherwise she would have had no one. She's 25 now and doing great. :)
That’s wonderful. :)
That really is great :D
