4 Ways to Avoid Overmedicating Your Kids
3. Always get a second or third medical opinion
You may think that your kid’s doctor is good, but doctor’s can be wrong too. Your child may be over medicated because your doctor may be the type that believes in a lot of pills. It is always wise to get two different opinions on the same matter, so your kid gets the right kind of treatment and does not get over medicated.
4. Make sure your kid eats right and plays outdoors
Sometimes the right diet, with the right amount of proteins, fat, carbs, vitamins and minerals is enough to let your child be healthy. Let them play outdoors a lot instead of being cooped up indoors. A healthy diet and a healthy dose of sunlight and exercise is enough most time. Do not believe in supplements and don’t go to the medicine counter at the first sound of a sneeze. Kids are strong and resilient in their own ways and over medication will just make them weak and dependEnt on medicines.
