[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a disturbing and in parts sickening thread. Get your kids help. Make changes, if necessary, in collaboration with their medical team. What is wrong with you people.

There are other options available without resorting to throwing pills at the situation. Most teachers want kids medicated because it's the easiest way to control them and make their lives easier. It's easy to get a pill pushing doctor to prescribe ADHD meds without taking a critical look at underlying causes or alternative solutions. It's great that OP is skeptical of the teachers suggestion.

IMO, the people who say they’ll never use meds or only as a last resort after years of trying other “treatments” and letting their kid fail while anxiety and depression take root are every bit as bad as the people who throw pills at the problem. At least when the kid is medicated, they can focus and learn to develop other coping mechanisms for if/when they decide to go off the medication. Parents at both ends of the meds/no meds spectrum are doing their kids a disservice.
