There are some kids that can’t sit through shul.
They can’t daven.
They can’t even bensch.
Meds aren’t just for school.
It’s for life. To be able to function, relate to others, be able to sit long enough to hear what another has to say.
Please don’t discount the benefits of meds.
I’m not saying it solves every problem, but it can change life from a miserable “failing out of school”, having no friends one, to one of academic success and the beginning of building meaningful relationships with peers.
Stop thinking of it as poison.
You’re living in the dark ages.
You have to see it (the affect it can have on someone) to believe it.
