[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 550723, member: 6546"] Hello and welcome! I have two children....both of whom were prescribed medications to control behavior at some point.... I medicated one, but not the other. For me - the decision was based upon the child's quality of life vs the medication risk. For my daughter (our difficult child) - her violent behaviors were a deteriment to herself and those around her. We felt medication was a viable option. For my son - his ADHD made him impulsive and fidgety (I'm sure a headache for his teacher)....but being fidgety was not a negative impact on life - so we opted not to medicate. I think you need to look at the whole situation and weigh the risks. If your child is having a negative impact on those around him - he can't be too happy with himself either... That may be a reason to medicate...but ultimately, it is up to you. [/QUOTE]
