[quote=Anonymous]Also have an 11yo with ADHD. We continue for weekdays all summer because he is in camp and needs it to not be in trouble all day. On weekends, I decide based on what we have scheduled that day. There are definitely more fights with his sibling if he's off his meds, but she's older and they just give each other a lot more space than they used to. They used to fight constantly, but my older kid has gotten more patient and my 11yo has calmed down a bit (even when not on meds.)

I do like to skip weekends because he is very thin (not unhealthy, and staying on a steady curve fortunately) and having a few days a week where he eats more helps.

As for the post dinner snacking, I've embraced it but we focus on things that are a little more in the healthy snack arena than treats that inspire jealousy.  Our go to snacks are banana with peanut butter, apple with peanut butter, almonds or cashews, etc. If his sister decides she also wants an apple with peanut butter, that's fine. [/quote]
