IN addition when we adopted a 4 year old with severe preemie (born 28 weeks) issues including not eating consistently and on PediaSure... when we enrolled him in K that summer I asked the K teacher what we could do to help him over the summer she said "did you ever think about medication". We pulled him out. I should have sued the school. He is in his early 30's now and although has limits due to progressive issues he is a production member of society and lives independently (not in a group home like we assume he would). It's very sad for these children.
Parents are cowered into agreements as IF the teachers know what's best and they DO NOT!!
Thank you Luc. I have not seen that documentary and hope to watch it this week. I need to add that other link to my previous miralax post. Thank you for sharing these links.

Glad you did the right thing! Many parents would take the easier route and medicate.
Have you seen this documentary? Obviously there is not enough research on a LOT of things.

ALSO just read an article about how Miralax is being using on kiddos for FAR too long.
