Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I have a major problem giving adderal to my then 8 yr. old granddaughter who is forced to take it today at 10. Now, Here we had a normal healthy, then, 8yr old, who's mother had to put her on this dangerous drug. She was said her child had ADD in school because her grades were down. I told her phooey!, what she needs is someone to help her with her studies. I told her there are computer programs and the library which will do just that, help for school aged kids and I would purchase my girl those cd's or whatever it took to help her learn. Her mom said: OH!, That won't do anything! so she put her on those stupid drugs! My granddaughter stayed with me on weekends before her drug days and other than she was bored once in a while, she was a happy, active, normal kid. We had a ball together! Just like my sisters and myself when we were kids, she was alot of fun. Today she is lackluster, short and doesn't seem like herself. Her personality has changed and she doesn't have the sparkles in her eyes anymore. Her mother and I have had many words about this. As her mother works for a doctors office, I feel she is a fat and lazy slug who couldn't have the time on her busy schedule to spend time with her child who needs love and a mom who cares about the health of her child. We really got into it and I am no longer permitted to see my granddaughter. BTW, I hate that my son is on those drugs also. I have never taken drugs other than when I had the flu or an infection.
