Life Changing

Stephany mentioned an article that came out in the Official Journal of The American Academy of Pediatrics (she linked to it, so I won’t) that was about *my words* the feeding of anti-psychotics to kids. Many most of whom aren’t mentally ill, and not the least bit psychotic. (They probably need a time out spanking.) Their parents probably needed a goldfish, not a child. I mean really…this is nuts! Parents are ASKING for this stuff now…

“Damn…wtf? What do you mean kids aren’t perfectly well behaved, convenient, quiet and out of sight until you need to show them off as accessories like you see on television? “

Well, the chick on the FoxNews video (which I hope Stephany can show; because I don’t think WPress’s format can do it), got one thing right, Television. She mentioned advertisements-and parents asking for these medications from the doctor for their kids. omg. How about trying some consistency in discipline and some friggin exercise first, (ya know…wear the kid out a little) before sedating them with a straight jacket in a bottle?

WTF is wrong with parents these days? Then again-look at the STUPID warning labels on baby and children’s items they seem to need, such as: Remember to take your spawn out of the stroller before folding it up or making sure you remind your kid the Harry Potter toys don’t actually work. You KNOW someone has had to have done these things in order for a warning to have been issued. It goes far beyond the “this bag is not a toy” stuff.

Yeah….I’m off topic and rambling, so what?! *Once again* In this video they were talking about “off label” uses for anti-psychotics in children. I’m thinkin’ babysitter.

The FoxNews lady (who I wanted to slap-surprisingly-usually they’re up on these things-don’t bash Fox, I’ll censor your ass, this blog is not a democracy) went on to call these medications in children, life changing. Well perhaps so, in a few kids who actually are psychotic. Life changing….hmmmm. Don’t get me started.

So get over to Stephany’s blog. She’s much more civil than I am; plus…she has the article, the studies and hopefully the video (chop-chop, rise and shine West Coast girl!)

‘Cause I doubt if ***************nope…. tried…didn’t work*******

*it had the word “flash” in it…so I really doubted it would work. *

…I’m not a perfect parent…actually I sucked; I could have used an instruction manual-but I’ve been there with a hard to manage toddler understatement.

**Archives** Go back to last May…Yeah-I’ve spanked my 4 year old. I flushed the meds. Some kids may need them; then again, parents may just need to put in a lot of time and effort first. If you’re at your wits end with your kid, you may want to try/read some of the stuff I used. Hey, ya never know until you try. Really try.
