If I don’t make sure the kids get their meds first thing in the morning, things can get… interesting. The kids start out happy and bouncy, but when the hyper behavior feeds off each other it gets out of hand and ALWAYS ends in the kids being mad at each other and on the verge of coming to blows. Nothing I do can prevent this. When they are hyper they gravitate towards each other, and even locked doors don’t keep them apart; they always find a way to get to each other.
As my brother would say, it always ends in tears…
So the kids are medicated now, and I’ve found a way to get them away from each other until the meds kick in and they can behave civil towards each other while in the same room. Believe me when I say them being able to get along is MUCH more conducive towards successful lessons.
I suppose I can wander over to find breakfast while I’m waiting for their meds to kick in.
