Kyle also refused to take his meds some mornings. Until we set a time. At 11, I feel he is too young to make the decision as to what is best for him (As to whether to take the meds or not). And when adhd is a factor, I have to ask myself - is Kyle in the mind set to make that decision without medication? We set a time and stick to it. And believe me if it 5 minutes early he will fight me tooth and nail. And if I am 5 minutes late he fights me even harder. The noon dose is a breeze as the meds are working and he is making logical choices.

Should we give a child choices that we are not prepared to accept?
