[QUOTE="DDD, post: 226746, member: 35"] I guess you know that although the CD family is a wonderful caring group of parents...we don't always agree on which course makes the most sense so :happy: be prepared! My "claim to fame" in the family is that I am older than dirt :blushing: and have over forty years experience dealing with difficult child issues. Even four decades does not guarantee worthwhile guidance. Since I'm in the midst of preparing the prime rib dinner that I was too pooped to cook yesterday, I'll be rather abrupt. Just remember I am one of the "good guys". Exactly WHO is the Physician you are following? If it is a Pediatrician, in my humble opinion that is a mistake. If it is a General Practioner, in my humble opinion that also is a mistake. If your son is being seen by an experienced Child Psychiatrist with input from a Child Psychologist...you are on track. Regarding medications, all of us on the Board realize that what works for one does not work for another. It is not like aspirin when you are dealing with difficult child issues. Just because you don't like the idea of medications does not mean that it is in the best interest of your child to avoid medications. Some kids NEED medications or they end up being outside of the normal loop of childhood........and subsequently don't blend later as teens or adults. So tell us exactly who you are using as the expert. PLEASE don't tell us that the educators are leading your choices because even though many of our members are dedicated and experienced teachers...teachers and school counselors are NOT qualified to dictate or suggest treatment plans for difficult child's. Hang in there. We are glad you found us. We are genuinely sorry that you had to even look our way. After seven years in this CD family I can assure you......we are good guys who want to support and help. DDD [/QUOTE]
