Hi - My son is 9 1/2 yrs. old and a SW. I have NEVER stress-dosed for emotionally trying situations, only for vomiting and fever. He has had strep throat twice in his short life, which I triple-dosed for, yet, I never even stress dosed when he had ear infections, UNLESS he had a fever also. So far, so good! Now that he is at an age to be able to communicate very well, I have often asked him how he is physically feeling during emotional roller-coasters, he says he never feels any different, so maybe it just depends on each child. Much harder when they are young - it does get better!
