Why don't they make a St. Josephs Valium for children?

Because, as a Saint, Joe knows that adults would buy these like tic tacs and no one would care if they went to work that day, or payed they're cell phone bill, or made my dinner..

there is a liquid available at your local pharmacy called ipecac, used when children swallow something they shouldn't.

Because the aren't medical doctors. Its the same thing as when a psychologist can't subscribe medicine

Yeah, I heard about it a couple months ago. It sounds great and I wish it had been around when my kids were a little younger. Probably would have saved a doctors visit or two, as well as some stress.

You can't mold children -- they aren't clay. The smarter a kid is, the less likely they are to listen to you. The best way to get your kids to listen to you is by having a history of fairness and consistency, and being the kind of person that your kids can personally believe in, so that when they do have questions about they decisions they're about to make, your advice is the advice that they rely on.\n\nThere are plenty of programs like that. Big Brothers, Big Sisters is one example, but there are also peer mentors in High School and College; and there are therapeutic staff support technicians -- social workers who spend evenings being friends with certain kids that they're matched to. The YMCA and YWCA are both prime examples of associations that were meant to serve the purpose you're thinking of. The problem with them is that they get the reputation of being fruity and embarassing because they're designed to help kids -- but when that's all you have, you make the best of it. I had a TSS worker when I was 14, and she taught me a lot about music and movies and making friends.

Its really not safe to give that without consulting a doctor.. if you can't reach a doctor call your local pharmacy.. i do it all thetime for my kids... just give the age, weight, and problem.. they will give you a safe dose.. but please as a doctor first....\n\nmy sons doctor doesn't like to give ibuprofen.. she prefers only tylonol for children under 2

Are you asking about it as a behavioural therapy, or as seizure therapy?  Do you mean electric shock therapy?  Or some form of controversial alternative therapy, such as holding therapy?  Regardless, this is a very disturbing question, and should be directed to the primary health care professional overseeing the well-being of that child...not a chat room.

Maybe some parents believe that if they don't know about it then they won't try it. But I think that some parents are acting naive regarding this idea. It's better to educate kids (well) about drugs and alcohol coupled with parents talking to their kids as well about it. We can't leave the responsibility solely with the school. The school should also support the "parenting" of these kids since the do spend a considerable amount of time in the school with their peers. It's a balancing act and as parents we can just hope and pray that we brought them up well.

You can try a herbal product called Valerian. Actually valerian is what they use to make valium anyway. You may also want to try taking some B vitamins, they are good for strengthening freyed nerves.\nI hope this helped!

please read the link. (pay little attention to the drug they r selling, just read the article).\ndude! dont give yr kid meds, he/she will be a braindead moron by the time he/she is 18 if u do that.\ndont let the docs brainwash u, remember that they get paid for prescribing this crap.\nyour child's brain is developing and u r giving him/her drugs? smart...seriously, just have some extra patience for the child, sign him/her up for some sports of other activities which will enable the child to use up all the extra energy.\nwe are slowly becoming a nation of drug-addicts, dont do that to your child.  no other nation abuses prescriptions meds like we do for our lack of concrete knowledge about what these chemicals are doing to our long-term health.\nmaybe even take your child to meditation classes to help him/her deal with lack of concentration.

the parents have the responsibility to act in the best interest of their children, as they may not know what is best for them, so I presume that it would not be a "right" for a child to take pills with parental consent

As with any test subject, the children are going to so vastly different from eachother the results are going to be varied. Which is always a problem.\n\nI would also have to agree with finding patients is another big problem.

If you can have a doctor put in writing that giving infant formula is harming your child......... and the diaper rash cream being used inappropriately will cause some type of damage then passing a psych eval wont matter..... the strawberry soda I am sure isn't good for any infant but if you have no proof sorry to say its your word against his....\n If he truly has a mental flaw then a trained professional will see through any act he may have......that is what they are paid to do

no I read an article about it and it sounds like torture they strap the little boy to a table and he cries so hard his face turns red and his mouth is open but there is no sound coming out and the nurses have to blow on the babys face to get him to breathe and sometimes the baby pukes because of the pain and I think if god put it on the body it must be used for something I hope you dont do this to your little boy this is the web site I hope you research beyond yeahoo answers http://www.cirp.org/pages/cultural/glass0/

NO.Children's metabolisms are not ready for that kind of product in any way shape or form. They need their fats to power their minds and growth. it is for serious athlete's to use under supervision.\n\nCraig - Naturopath
