Medised

[coochybottom]

Would you give your DCs Medised to calm them down if they were being hyper?

are you serious?

no. Its like how they used to give babies gin.

mmm... gin. But, no, no I wouldn't.

xx

No, never. But many people seem to give Medised to help their children sleep. I would hope they wouldn't come on to flame you.

More info needed really on what you mean by hyper. Perhaps they just need a long walk or a runaround in the garden.

If you mean more than that, hyper in a different and uncontrollable way, then Medised is definitely not the answer and you would need to be trying other approaches, I would say.

Was told today by another mum at the school that it works for her kids!

i'd just go straight for the smack

it is worrying that it is seen as a solution to 'behavioural' problems
although we all know how hard things can get but surely drugging children to keep them subdued is never the answer

oh it's not you coochy
in that case I will put on my judgey hat

strongly disapprove

My kids seem to get more hyper the more tired they are and get the past the point of no return.

You could try, but that stuff tastes disgusting, and its difficult to give if they are on the ceiling!

If tired give them more sleep?

My 20 month old when tired gets naughty, thats my queue to get her to bed!

You would think they would sit still if tired, but alas not

you might want to tell her that as medised contains additives it is actually likely , long term, to make any real hyperactivity worse.

er no

how old are your kids coochy?

6 year old id twin boys. A real handful at times!!!

medised may initially make them sleepy, but if you give it regularly it will make them over-drowsy. It also tastes absolutely disgusting. Bach rescue remedy can have a calming effect, and is safe for children.

Have you looked into their diet etc?

Think its a twin thing. Their diet is pretty good.
