[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np here. Please don't insult those of us who choose to medicate and imply that we haven't done our research.  We have and made the decision to use medication.  [b]Do I like the fact that my children are on medication? Of course not.[/b]  But I have seen the before and after and I know that we are making the right decision.  We will continually revisit and hope to reach a point where they won't need it. But right now they need it and I wouldn't deny them it just as I wouldn't deny any other medical treatment to them.[/quote]

Why do you feel this way about the course of action you have chosen?  [/quote]

20:14 here. Are you trying to get to a specific answer?  Do I wish that my children did not have ADHD and were NT and didn't have any issues? Of course but that doesn't mean I love them any less.  They are who they are and I wouldn't trade them for the world.  I feel bad for them that they have to take medicine -- not for myself.  I have a friend with a dc who is a diabetic.  Friend doesn't like the fact that her child has to take insulin but of course she gives it to her b/c she needs it.  Just as my dc's need their medication. FWIW, we didn't start medication until 2nd grade for 1 and 5th grade for the other.  But I know kids who have started as early as 4 due to impulsivity, etc.[/quote]
