[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 289287, member: 1233"] WOW! That is high praise from a difficult child! I am so glad you and husband are working with a therapist. You will find a renewed faith in your husband and in your marriage. Life will become a lot more fun for both of you. But it IS hard work. Expect some backsliding at time from each of you. As for the kids trusting us about their medications, from the very earliest times my kids were on medications I would show them the medication, show it to them cut in half if needed (or for thank you I would show him how I opened the capsule of antibiotics and took out half and mixed it with chocolate syrup - he couldn't have any kids antibiotics because all have artificial sweeteners he is allergic to. He could tell me how many of each pill or liquid and what it was for before he even went to kdg. I felt it was very important because what if something happened to me or if I mixed things up. thank you caught a BIG mistake made by the pharmacy when they sent the wrong medicine. It could have killed him. I am ashamed to say I missed it. I also made him and the older two learn his food allergies. That way if they were away from me I could be comfortable knowing that they would each be alert to the problems. The older two knew it could end a fun outing in a hurry if he got the wrong foods and they were the ones who thought of that. It is also good for him to know what he is taking so he can tell you if he feels strange from the medications. Maybe you can work with him one medication at a time, or even make a chart with a picture of each pill and a simple explanation of what it does. there are images of most medications in pill form online.
