[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 101312, member: 3626"] I'm glad you made a decision you're comfortable with. So long as Sammy is relatively happy, I think you made the best decision for you. If, however, he is truly struggling and is obviously miserable, I might re-think the medication question. There are no easy answers when it comes to medications. We all have to do what we feel is right. Sometimes the "right" thing isn't the comfortable thing. I totally understand your fears in medicating one so young. I doubt I could be convinced to do it unless I could be convinced it would make a difference and certainly not because it would make things easier for me! by the way -- The toy store/car incident sounds more like a 3 YO's misunderstanding. He was at the car, so where's the toy store? I think I'd be enraged if I expected to see toys and all I saw was a parking lot full of cars. It sounded like he understood that getting to the car meant seeing the toys but didn't quite understand that getting to the car was just the first step for his desired journey. I have a very literal child and I have to be VERY careful how I phrase things even today. She would have been livid when she got to the car and there were no toys there, too. She just wouldn't have understood that there was a ride in between unless I specifically said first we have to take a ride and then we'll go to the toy store. [/QUOTE]
