Ritilan actually works the opposite for those without the problem. It's because it's basically a stimulant... it seems weird to give hyperactive kids a stimulant, but it stimulates the part of the brain controlls attention. As for the overdiagnosis part... hey, I'm working on it. I'll get my psych degree sometime. |

I'll bet I'm not gonna make too many "friends" with this one  it has nothing to do really with any JSHers ......while I admit to being ADHT when I was younger, there were no diagnosis, and it was cured simply by me being taught my place. While I don't condone the beatings some of us got growing up, I can appreciate it a lot more when I see parents/children of todays society. These days, it seems as though there are far too many folks willing to put their children on "safe" drugs, to cure them of something that could be curbed with just a little more discipline.
.......A twenty year old can now be considered disabled, and collect a lifetimes worth of S.S., simply because the parent showed them they could get something for nothing. Point the finger everywhere but at yourself, place blame, and settle back in your easy chair, convincing yourself that you've done the best for them, when it's really little more than making excuses, and passing the buck. Then, fill 'em up with twenty years worth of whatever makes you the hero, and convincing them that they're "sick". They pay attention as you only collect your mail on the first of the month, and you've shown them a path. Kind of a snowball effect...... 
......There are, of course, cases I've seen where that D student becomes an A, after Ridalin, but he could have been an A student all along, with a little more direction and attention. 
.....What's your take? ......OK, lambaste me, tell me what's up........I'll wait. 
...... mine was diagnosed with severe ADHD at 2 and has been on adderall since then. He was diagosed with severe autism at 3 and was 28 weeks premature due to the stress of being a firefighter he was in a hurry i reckon! 
But as soon as he was able to walk around 22 months he was a full time work out up to 20 hours a day some days. He got so bad at the special needs preschool he slugged a woman in the mouth and bit her (she was strappin him into a highchair not wanting to fool with him) but it was that afternoon I drove to the daycare promised that worker a good azz whoopin and RUN if you see me..i will hurt YOU worse. But seeing how bad he was getting it was only a matter of time where he could hurt a peer, another person or god forbid himself. I stand and SALUTE the company that makes adderall. IT WAS A HARD DECISION but within a week he was able to sit down, calm down and FOCUS. and with the autism his mental capacity at that time was very LIMITED not understanding like normal wee ones know TIME OUT. He was getting straight A's up until this year at school and mom was so proud. Talking, reading, writing and the specialists could not believe the dedication to help my child. It took every bit of my essence but worth every bit of this! Now this year the city spent up funds from the special ed dept and he didnt have a special education teacher as she was out on maternity leave so they threw him in mainstream and now he is getting bad grades and bullied daily to no avail. But with the ritalin or ADHD meds they can be overprescribed or like with ME i was finally diagnosed with ADHD and i am all grown up. Instead of depression and anxiety it was the ADHD. I take adderall too and my life is so much better!!! as for my boy and my choice to put him on that medicine. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE in his case but he is monitored every 2months at the neurologists for weight, height, etc. this is normal for children on this medication. ADHD and straterra isnt addictive and works for many. ADHD and teenagers? sweetie without the diagnosis of ADHD i had low self esteem, lost jobs over the years, 2 abusive men, failed friendships and honestly i am glad i made the choice to medicate. Oxycontin is just as bad i think on OVER medicating and many people are dying on that nasty crap! |

Parenting is the hardest thing I have eve done or will ever do. no doubt. but children dont have to be forced to tears. It breaks my heart to hear her cry and I do all I can to make it where she does not have to cry. why do lessons have to be taught in a manner where the child ends in tears?

Both my sons went through bad phases. I feel for you. Just try to love him through it and grit your teeth when it gets real bad. I'd do as already suggested. Don't give him rides or favors til he can treat you with respect. If's it's really out of hand, maybe get an uncle or grandfather to talk to him. It is sooo hard to not say anything when they back talk you and say things that are really hurtful and disrespectful. I am a single mom of a 13 yr old and the "sperm donor " is no where to be found. SO that is a big problem for me as to have a positive male influence in my child's life. |

sorry but i was spanked as a child as was my parents and theres and so on..we all ended up reasonably well balanced and secure people with RESPECT for our elders and other people...unfortunatley in this pc world of smothering our kids and letting them believe the world revovles around there little bottoms kids believe they dont have to give respect but receive all...my sons had a tap on the bum, hes been disciplined when hes naughty and hes been raised to respect his elders..hes also been taught to look after himself...theres a balance..and if parents who believe in this pc rubbish cant see that then problems will occur...oh this is my opinion not meant to offend blah blah
unfortunately it is illegal in some states to spank a child and even in the ones it isnt illegal .Kids know this and try and manipulate the system. and they learn it in kindergarten!!!!

http://www.kplctv.com/global/story.asp?s=7757700 I am sure you guys heard about the 15yr boy and 13yr girl who ran away in Michigan. They were found in my Home Town of Lake Charles Louisiana. How crazy is that!! Its amazing enough that a 15yr old can steal his parents car and get away with it, much less travel 1000miles and never get pulled over lol. No sh*t... I usually get pulled over within 2 blocks of where I live 
aint THAT the gospel truth. HA HA HA!! TOO FUNNY!

Benazir Bhutto KNEW she was marked and her time was near. I am still stunned she stood up in that motorcade. It cost her. I am disgusted to see such disrespect here at this group regarding her assassination. Everything from interupting "the price is right" to other jabs. I am sad for pakistan and i will just leave it at that.
