You are the parent: This situation can be very frustrating. I would believe there are lots of resources on line and in publication about child development. But, you are the parent and gently but firmly helping your child take their medication is necessary for lots of child hood rearing reasons. This child will need discipline and loving guidance to grow up healthy. You know what is best for them.
