[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we medicating kids with psychotropic drugs just so they can handle a schoolwork that is a grade or two advanced?

Drugged up AAP kid vs non-drugged GenEd kid - scary to see which side some parents come down on this.  [/quote]

Np here.  It's not always about drugging kids to be in AAP.  My DC is a hot mess in Gen Ed with out meds.  Constant complaints from teachers about being disorganized, not staying on task, and needing redirection.  Many 2s.  On meds, all 4s, no complaints.   Just so happens on meds DC can handle accelerated work.  Should we leave DC in Gen Ed unmedicated, making 2s and constantly being scolded by teachers for being disorganized so we can take the "high ground" of not medicating our kid?[/quote]

Totally get it.  I have a relative who tried her best to avoid medication for one of her kids who is bright and creative but liked to be in his own world at inopportune times.  She eventually put him on meds and the child was much happier with his ability to stay focused on topic at school.  The mom didn't like the physical side affects, so she now has him on half dose and only on school days.[/quote]
