We would love to hear how you get on through our contact page on the site so we can pass this info on to others. We figure that saving our children (and ourselves) from any unecessary medication and unwanted side effects and expense has to be a good thing!

I don't want to give her a Motrin each time she "aches" yet at the same time I won't pay a copayment for each "headache" she has. As she matures, IMO, she will learn to manage pain. Thanks so much for the info site. Angie, can kids of the age of 10 be shipped to college???

My 18 yo is the biggest hypochondriac you've ever seen. I can't wait for her to go to college so I don't have to hear about whatever her latest ailment is. I'm accused of 'not caring' about my kids either b/c I don't run to the Dr. every minute they get a scrape. Wait until they are paying their own bills - then they won't take off running there all the time! Don’t give in to it!! My 18 yo is the biggest hypochondriac you’ve ever seen.

A sugar pill will often do the trick, without the risk of side effects and unecessary expense. That's why we got it together to make placebos available for sale to the general public. There is a lot more to be discovered about the placebo effect, especially in the area of self- healing and administration of placebos. There is a growing discussion about beneficial effects of doctors giving placebos, even when both they and the patient know they are placebos. We have experienced placebos working when taken as a support to one’s intentions for well being and relief from symptoms, and they work so well for children who need that extra bit of attention . . . some of our young users call them"magic pills" or "angel pills"!

If you she is not sick and just needing a little attention, that is one thing. But I would be scared to death that something was actually wrong if I ignored it. In the end you know your daughter the best and you have to use your judgment. It is such a fine line. If you she is not sick and just needing a little attention, that is one thing.

You could give 'em a lot of hype about how they make you feel great, and then--here's the key--tell her she can't have one! All kidding aside, well..I don't have any real advice. A friend's daughter went through a phase when she was younger, where she figured out the school would call her Mom, send her home sick. I think she eventually began to believe she really was sick, and things escalated quite a bit. It wasn't until the doctors suggested that the next stop was a psychiatrist that there was a bit of a turn-around in her health issues. She'd rather have been healthy than crazy! :-D Hey, I could save the placebo pills out of my birth control pack for ya!

Because he so rarely ever complained about not feeling well, we were inclined to believe him and would check him over like freaks. Then it got to be too much, and it always seemed to kick in around the time he'd gone to bed. AHA! Diagnosis! A serious case of stall-itis! Lately, he's been infliction and infection free, but I bet we're in for some growing pains problems soon. He's sprouting! Thanks for coming over and visiting my blog this week. I appreciate that, and the comment! My oldest son went through a period where there was always something hurting, or some kind of ache bothering him.

My brother told me he was wondering when I got older how I was going to handle having my period! I don't have kids so I really don't have any advice. I'm thinking maybe give her baby aspirin?
