Interesting Mommy moment....

So my son T, who has ADHD and is on medication, says to me today, Mom, can I not take my meds until Tuesday (when he goes back to school)? We have never kept his ADHD a secret, to me its no different than if he needed glasses or insulin, and we talk about it so that he understands there is nothing wrong with him, just one part of his brain needs some help functioning right. We compromised on him taking it today, since he has basketball and will need to focus, but sure, we can do meds on school days only. We've had a couple days without meds and he has absolutely gotten better with his self-control and focus, but he thinks he only needs it for school. So we'll see.....
