[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 438559, member: 1550"] Malika, you asked a difficult question. If a child or adult is less frustrated, I think it the person becomes far more pleasant to deal with because he/she is happier and not so angry. And also when you can calm down and think clearly, you are not as apt to blurt out something you will regret. On t he other hand, I think the combination of medication PLUS some wonderful therapy combined to help me grow calmer. And now when I say something impulsive I am quick to see it and to apologize. But I do not believe that a medication cures all :) as I suspect you don't either. And every person responds to medication differently. It's a very hard choice for a parent to make and I don't envy you. Your son is very young. In later years, he may be open to therapy that can help him slow down. Trust me, I am very hyper and had to learn to listen to my body signs and to slow them down myself...obviously your sweet little J. (and I do believe he is sweet) can not do that yet at four years old. [/QUOTE]
