MW> I do see a big difference in my grandchild though...but they were
 MW> this way before the medicine, nasty I mean...with the medicine they
 MW> seem more in control. It has made a difference in them...
 RF> I think times have alot to do with it.  I would talk back to my mom
 RF> some- times, but it was not the way these kids today do.  It like when
 RF> they do something they are not suppose to they seem to shove it in
 RF> your face. Like ha ha look what I just did.  My kids don't but I have
 RF> seem many that do.  I was basically afraid to do anything really
 RF> wrong.  I did some average, well a little more than average, but I was
 RF> not the really hellacious kid.  Where as society teaches to get
 RF> respect you must earn it.  Therefore, our teaching skills have changed
 RF> (or discipline skills).  I think its easier to teach out of fear than
 RF> out of respect.  Yet I still agree with teaching out of respect.  The
 RF> medicine makes it easier for them to learn how to control the
 RF> nastiness.  I think it gives them an opportunity to think clearer. 
 RF> Therefore, if they don't try it really is there fault for not trying. 
 RF> I don't know if that was very clear.  I'm having one of my ADD days. 
 RF> Can't seem to sort anything out properly. 
 I understood what you were saying...I talked back to my Mom too...but as
 you say, not the same way..more under my breath. I think respect is one
 of the keys...everyone should learn respect but in a good way...by getting
 respect. I do think the medicine helps the children control themselves and
 lets them see what control can be like...Take care...
