  Thank you so much! I wish my parents went to natural way when I was younger, I thought about studying naturalistic medicine.

  I have been letting my daughter make a lot of the decision making for her daughter BUT since I am the LEGAL guardian of this child and if something happens due to a poor decision I am the ONE who pays the price. If my daughter would take the time to discuss these things with a professional who knows what they are talking about it would be one thing, but to pick and choose what she hears in passing is quite another thing. My daughter was not here during the early days of this childs life and I had to make decisions for her and take care of her and do the best I could by this child. It certainly was not my daughter attending to her when she had strep throat or a bad ear infection. If she wants to deal with an un-medicated child on her time, so be it. But then I hear all about out of control the kidlet was, how she acted up here or there and how my daughter cannot stand to take her anywhere with her. Well, give your child the medicine she needs to have some focus and clearer mind so she isn't going off in 15 different directions. This child is bright and very articulate and it would kill me to see her squander her early years in school with the disruptive and chaotic behavior that goes with the territory when she does not have her vyvance. I refrain from trying to "help" my other daughter, as she doesn't listen even though i am very worried as she has not even got them their flu shots this year. So it goes on and on and on. I guess what it is is that out of my 5 kids 3 of them have medical problems that I had to deal with so I kind of feel like when you get a plan that works, don't mess with it. I mean what is the difference if my daughter thinks one medicine will be better than another? This poor kid has been on several until we found the right combo, so I think it should be let alone. Just wish my daughter would do the research instead of getting medical advice from people who aren't in the "know" for the circumstances here. Each child reacts differently to different meds, that I know for sure. Thanks for you reply...take care

  You sound like you need a hug! Time goes by so fast......your children will be grown and gone before you know it. Take each day like it is the last with them.
  3 of my 5 children were homeschooled some. They are all grown now and doing very well with their careers. Enjoy this extra time that you have with them.
  We focused on what each child was interested in. Reading, whether from magazines or on the internet or whatever was stressed. My youngest is now 19 and in college. He went thru 8th grade and at 17 got his GED. He has been making all A's since he began college at 17. He doesn't think we did anything wrong by stressing the reading. He is actually tutoring at the college for the English department as a side job.
  You take care and hug those boys!

  TY You are right, my daughter would rather listen to anyone or everyone else tell her about other rx's. I mean, where was my daughter during this kids first few years? I was keeping her safe for the time my daughter became clean and sober and could take over the reigns so to speak. I was gone yesterday when she came to pick the child up yesterday but left a note for her. Hope she understands I am playing hardball right now, I could step it up a notch into the courts but really do not want to have to do that. It is for the childs benefit to take these meds so she can spend quality time in the classroom learning and enjoying a normal 6 year old life, not in the office in the "bad kid" chair while someone at home is being called. Thanks again
