Hi Marguerite,

Thank you for the advise. I will definitely look into it. Something that has been very upsetting to me is that it seems the schools don't hesitate anymore to classify children as suffering from ADHD. The slightest notion that their attention might be something else warrants the use of Ritalin. I wonder if this is because the schools get extra funding from government per semester for every pupil who is 'classified' as having a learning disability?

Then there is also the threat of your children being taken away if you don't comply to what is prescribed. Sometimes I think the world is becoming a really bad place to live in.

This is for Jacqui:

Hi Jacqui,

Yes I have posted my message to a number of Forums. I belong to several of them. I find it strange that people would be more concerned about a message being posted to several forums (or the fact that it has been posted to more than one) rather than the contents of the message that is aimed at sharing my experience with people in the same situation as me. That is something I struggle to understand.

Anyway, Sorry if my message offended you in any way or form or because it was posted to more than one forum.

Nic
