[QUOTE="buddy, post: 533533, member: 12886"] I totally agree, that is good way to look at it. I know you are open to medications if he needed it, I get it that this is not the issue....it is the whole philosophical idea of it. And just thinking it would be so great if he could just be who he is and that would work out great for him in any setting. Right now, on balance, it seems no medications is a good choice. In future, as you monitor all of these issues (and your ability to parent him is a legitimate one I think, esp. because for our impulsive kids safety can be an issue as well as self esteem which are really affected in many ways by our ability to manage and cope), you can decide if you need a trial on any kind of medication. [ I would love to not have to give Q medications. He says he is not going to take them when he gets bigger. That he just chooses to be naughty. I actually wish that it was his choice because then presumably he could choose differently too....but having been with him when he is NOT on medications, having had formal testing during those circumstances, I know differently. I hope he will just accept it as a part of life as he gets older.] [/QUOTE]
