[QUOTE="Janna, post: 235946, member: 2737"] Yeah, I'm with everyone else, I think it depends on the age and especially the maturity of the child. D is 12 and no WAY would I trust him to do it. He would like to do it on his own, but not yet. I keep the medications locked up and I take full responsibility for them. He is medication compliant (I think this is a huge factor, they have to know they *need* the medications), but just not responsible enough. I think he'd remember, but I could also see him dropping one down the sink accidentally (and not replacing it) or dropping it on the floor and the dogs eating it (has happened LOL, yellow lab on Lithium isn't much fun), or taking an extra accidentally or whatever. Maybe when he's in high school. Maybe. [/QUOTE]
