When it comes to raising children, there’s no right side in any debate. There are questions we will simply never be able to answer. Is homeschooling better? Should you shout at your children, or punish peacefully? And, the gem we’re going to take a closer look at today: should you avoid using prescription medications?

This is no new problem. It’s a question parents have been asking for years. But, with more of our kids relying on long-term medication, it’s an issue which has come very much to the fore. The trouble with an argument like this is that you can face hurdles each way you turn. 


The first thing to note is that the right course of action is different for everyone. Our parenting styles are as varied as our children, and so they should be. That is what makes this diverse world so wonderful. But, that doesn’t help if you’re grappling with this issue. However, considering the following question could do just that.

How long would the course of treatment be?
One thing to ask yourself, and the most crucial matter to start with, is how long your child would be taking this medication. One course of Calpol when they’re ill is unlikely to do lasting damage. But, a prescription for issues such as ADHD is a much more long-term undertaking. And, that should play a role in how fast you are to reach for those pills. In less extreme cases, you may be considering conditions such as hay fever. While these don’t mean prescriptions all the time, it does mean exposing your children to medication yearly. Is that too much for you? Consider, realistically, a maximum amount of time you’re comfortable with. If a prescription exceeds that period, you may need to look elsewhere.
