07: What to Say to a Teacher When They Tell You to Medicate Your Kid


Listen Later

Just because the teacher tells you to have your child medicated, doesn’t mean you should. Today, we’re going to find out exactly what happened in Gayle’s encounter with a teacher who advised her to medicate her children. 

What were the symptoms that prompted the teacher to advise taking medication?

The teacher who confronted Gayle about her child observed that the latter’s child was struggling with comprehension and focus. Although this was a common struggle for most young children, it was more on an unusual level of slow comprehension and inattentiveness for the part of Gayle’s child which made it a concerning matter.

However, the immediate solution given by the teacher was medication which should not be the first thing to consider because it is actually violative of state law and also because there are other alternatives that are safer, more natural, and proven to be effective. 

Even a quick search on Google will give you a list of alternatives although you have to be careful in reading through various articles and websites as there are misinformative posts online which you may come across.
