[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 81804, member: 1233"] Lots of very wise statements here. I am one of those parents who gave benadryl to get my child to sleep. Quite often. Still do with Tyler. BUT it is only done with the doctor's approval and OK. If we need medications to help sleep more than 1 or 2 times a MONTH, then we need to go get a checkup. Just because sometimes my kids don't have the abiltiy to tell me what is going on. With difficult child and thank you, the Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) issues mean that their bodies give them very strange messages sometimes. So it is a diagnostic clue that they may have a problem. I would rather give benadryl than lunesta or anbien to my 7yo and 12 yo. Benadryl has been around for a long long time. We have a pretty good idea of the side effects. We don't know with the other medications. And my kids have seasonal (ALL seasons!) allergies, so benadryl is doubly helpful. I didn't see the episode. I usually do not get much value out of these shows. I do get great value out of our discussion of them. Susie [/QUOTE]
