[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: for those parents who spoon feed their kids drugs for attention deficit and low grades, did you buy them a smartphone?

A smartphone, if nothing else, is a distraction for young, developing minds and instills a addiction to an unfocused life that is constantly beeping and blinking.[/quote]

I'm unfamiliar with ADHD medications that are in liquid form - can you let me know what your kids take?  The ones we have are either in tablet or extended release capsule form.  The only way to spoonfeed them is to open the capsules or to grind the pills and mix them with something like applesauce.

Not sure why it's relevant but since you asked, my oldest is in middle school, has ADHD and does NOT have a smartphone.  He makes the A/B honor roll every semester but all his academic classes are in either the self-contained special ed classroom or team taught general ed classroom.  My youngest also has ADHD, does NOT have a smartphone and gets 'push in' support for all academic subjects.  He is at grade level.  Again, we don't spoonfeed them their medication.[/quote]
