[QUOTE="kris, post: 20241, member: 74"] yes, i realize that the most common term used when we talk about our kids medications is *drugs*. it's a bit of a hot button for me. i think it's all about perception....mainly the public perception ~~~ teachers, family, neighbors. drugs has such a negative conotation ~~~~ brings forth such bad image. street drugs, people *drugging* their kids into submission, etc. when people hear the word medication i think it makes it sound more positive overall. i'm not critisizing anyone (janna, your post just reminded me to post about this....i think of it often & then forget to say anything (old timers' disease lol). i just would like people to think of what we, as parents, can do to help people to understand that our kids' medications are necessary to a successful & productive life. just some thoughts. kris [/QUOTE]
