It is always difficult for a parent to accept that “their” child is different – everyone wants to “fit in” and be normal. but burying the problem does not make life easier for the child by being in trouble with staff at school finding difficult with interpersonal relationships with classmates and in the long run does not make it easier for the parent.
A child that is different due to no blame on the childs part – only because he has a medical condition no different than a child with strep throat.
A parent who makes the decision a difficult emotional and long term one that they will face up to the problem will find that in the short term people may notice the shadow may realize that the child is on medication – but will be providing the tools for the childs long term well being and a bright and productive future.
It takes courage and strength to do it in our society environment you should be proud that you are doing what is good for your child .
