[quote=Anonymous]Giving these drugs to the toddler/preschool set is not done without a lot of thought by both the parents and the drs. It was recommended to me for my 3 yr old. The closing words from the dev ped were " think about it. You don't have to make a decision today. And any decision you make can be changed" In the end, I was one of the lucky parents who was able to get my childs behavior under control via other therapies. But if I was not able to, I would have gone back to the dev ped. You only do this for a preschooer/toddler when you have exhausted all other alternatives and the benefits outweigh the possible side affects. And yes, as parents we all know that no one knows what the long term affects could be by giving these drugs to a child this young. It's why no one takes this decision lightly.[/quote]
