Sep. 29, 2008 - Sleeping In Class - LOL
Homeschooling sure is a challenge for my little guy. He gets angry when he has to work on school or chores or just if he doesn't get his way. We took him to his psychiatrist on Thursday. I had added a drug that she had said would help him with his anger, that we used to use for sleep for him. He used to take 3 pills. She switched his sleep med because this med just wasn't doing it for him anymore. And believe me, we tried no meds for him for YEARS. We finally started giving into them when he was 5 1/2 and he came to us at 10 months. He is on 4 different meds. When we switched his ADHD meds last year and he was off all of them for a day or so - YIKES!!! His poor teacher!! We switched him to the Christian school for mornings this year. So, anyway, I started giving him 1/2 a pill in the morning so he wouldn't get kicked out of school. He was close to it. The psychiatrist wanted me to give him more during the day to control his anger. So, I gave him 1/2 with lunch today and he fell asleep on me while I was teaching him math. So, I took him to the couch for a nap. How can you teach a kid who is sleeping? lol These are tiny pills - I'm wondering if I can cut them into 1/4. Might be interesting.
