Alma " Be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle " Our daughter is 3 and just started going to school. The teachers mentioned she is tired and puts her head down in class. She is sleeping about 11 hours a night, takes a nap and her supplements are the Nutrivene products, vitamin B and vitamin D. Has anyone found an " energy booster? " Any thoughts would be appreciated.ThanksMaura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I give Alyssa Claritin 24 hour. Its non-drowsy. I give it her first in the morning. That way it wears off during her sleep. I feel so bad for her sometimes. Her body is working double just to breathe. I make sure to remind her teacher to have her take it easy and maybe an extra break here and there. Alyssa works really hard at home and school. Its hard to see her get frustrated because she is pooped out. Alyssa is very good at keeping her tongue in her mouth. When I start to see it, its the first sign her allergies are elevated. Then we just give her medicine as needed. Yes she has allergies - do you give daughter anything? Amina takes singular and flonaise right now.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Remember that our kids need to have their thyroid check yearly. You probably already do this...but it might be a possibility.

It is very draining for many kids. It too K my sensory neurotypical kids a good few weeks to adjust and when they were going to school full days it took more time. In fact after a long weekend, Mondays were exhausting. never could get enough sleep. They would go to bed at 7 and wke up at 6am.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I think my last reply got swallowed by the Internet, so forgive me if I am repeating. Has your daughter been tested for sleep apnea? This could cause problems with her energy levels. The incidence of sleep apnea is very high in people with DS. downsyndromeupupandaway.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
