[QUOTE="Fran, post: 349895, member: 3"] Whew, it gives me some comfort to see someone who writes what we felt. I decided to ignore the rhetoric of the unknowledgeable or fear mongers about medications and look to see what my children needed. Blocking out the drama and doing the research to help your child to manage better is the best I could do to parent my child. I hope this book reaches many and helps reduce the stigma and pressure on parents. I doubt my difficult child noticed the controversy but it required a great deal of gumption on our part to do what's right for difficult child and not be influenced by those with different agenda's. Now, building on that the education system needs total revampment in my humble opinion. To not incorporate the large numbers of learning different students, it does many of our kids a grave injustice. The perception that "how we(teaching dogma) are is good enough" is not true anymore. Or the educational system wants no outside input on how to educate unique students leaves many of our kids in marginal programs. It is to the point where education and medicine/psychiatry/psychology and other teams must be entwined to educate each child regardless if they fit the mainstream or not. It's time for the mainstream to alter it's self perception and include more differently abled students. I'll get off my soapbox now. : ) Thanks Loth. [/QUOTE]
