6 yr old giving refusing to take Quillivant XR

Hello,My child has been taking Quillivant XR for the past 5 weeks. Initially she was ok with the flavor, but then refused it. I made a simple syrup using regular sugar, the flavored with vanilla. It works but was short lived. I found a natural cherry syrup and was using that with the Quillivant. Worked like a charm. But today she refused it all together. She hasn't been off and I'm concerned about withdrawn symptoms in school today.

Also, ordered different flavors for novelty. Hope that works. What do parents do if their young child refuses medication?

Thank you,

Frustrated parent
