Don't for get: "They will get pills to make them learn faster."

We're obsessed with drugging our kids.

I thought I had copied and pasted the pills to make them learn faster part. Apparently, I cut that part off. Yes, that really drives me up the wall. Granted, some children (like my nephew) need it, but it is done too much. At my church, there was a little 3 year old who a lot of the children called the meanest kid in primary. He was ADD and his parents preferred to work with him rather than medicate him. My husband and I were called as Sunday School teachers for his class. I watched the way my husband handled him and was able to help the boy out when my husband wasn't around. Another lady who was helping tried to restrain him when he threw a fit once and only made it worse. My thought before I took him away from her was, "This is just a little boy." She couldn't believe that his parents hadn't medicated him or done something else before this point. His family moved away, but I hope they still have been helping him out. I saw a lot of improvement in just the few months I knew him.
