An age-old parenting conundrum! Also, ew.
We potty-trained my daughter about six months ago, but she still sleeps in a pullup. I had assumed that at some point she would just start waking up dry and then we could stop, but every morning it’swith pee. The thing is, I’m not sure the problem is that she’s incapable of waking up to go to the bathroom because I noticed that once she’s wearing the pullup, even if she isn’t asleep yet, she’ll just do her thing rather than go to the toilet.
If it’s working, move it a little bit farther from the bed over time. Once she’s broken the habit and actually uses the bathroom in the middle of the night, throw a TREMENDOUS fuss, let her pick out a present, the whole deal.My oldest son, 14, has ADHD and has been medicated for a few years to help him concentrate and control impulsive behavior. He recognizes how the medicine helps him, especially with school, and chooses to take his medicine most days, taking the occasional weekend break.
Now the problem is my mother and his father and their opinions. My mother is from the old country and has some outdated thoughts on mental help and medication. She’s tried to tell me that he said he doesn’t like the ADHD meds and doesn’t want to take them . His father is fairly absent from his life, but he does show up occasionally. His father has been diagnosed with depression and refuses to treat it and has some radical views on mental health and life in general.
Your son is happy with the medication. ADHD and depression are very common comorbidities; he has a family history; he’s a teenager who can advocate for himself and recognize the things that make it difficult for him to function.
