A dear friend of mine called me the other day and was so frustrated because she had just been to her son's Open House at school. This is where all the kids and parents go to the school and see the classrooms and meet the teachers. What had her so frustrated was the unbelievable number of parents discussing all the meds their kids were taking. She said it primarily seemed to be boys, but their were a few girls as well. They were throwing around names like Paxil, Ritalin, Adderall, Strattera, Wellbutrin, Concerta.... These are not mild drugs! They have serious sideeffects - especially for children. These drugs were not designed for kids! Many are powerful psychotropic stimulants. What are we doing to our children?
