Dr. Larry Larsen’s thought’s on parenting and family life.
Dear Doctor,
We have been told that our eight year old has bipolar disorder.
The doctor we are seeing wants him on some drugs which are especially for this kind of problem. We have read about the medications and do not want to go that route, at least not now.

Dear Doctor,
We have been told by the school that our fourth grader has ADHD.
At a meeting they insisted we see our pediatrician and put him on medication. We are not comfortable with that recommendation and want to see what the school is able to do.

Dear Doctor,
You must have seen the recent magazine article about drugs and kids.
I wonder what you think. Medication has been recommended for our son, but we have chosen not to use it at this time. We have no trouble with him, but the school does say he has difficulty. They have suggested trying the medication.
