[QUOTE="kris, post: 20316, member: 74"] i guess i'm not expressing myself very well. i wasn't referring to the types of medications our kids need specifically...stimulants, mood stabilizers, narcotics for pain. i'm talking about the public perception our words evoke. when a parent says their kid takes drugs it brings on the negative side of the situation. when you refer to it as medications it's in my opinion a more positive way of saying it. of course medications are drugs. i'm not arguing that. i think a parent would feel much more comfortable if the doctor suggests medicating their child or themselves than if they are asked if they are willing to drug their kids or if the doctor says are you willing to take drugs. is that any clearer??? kris [/QUOTE]
