I remember when dd1 would go psycho after ice cream. She was very young so having something like ice cream was rare. She was maybe 20months old. But boy after she had it the only thing that could get her out of it was to go for a run. And I mean 2km. We just thought it was the sugar.

It started to happen with yoghurt and we realised it was 160B that was causing it. I'm not telling you this as if you haven't tried diet.

What I'm trying to explain is that if she had been like that more often or reacted to more things we would have had to medicate her! We couldn't have lived like that. Lucky for us it was an easy fix and at 8 she has fully out grown in.

Yes you will get people who judge you for medicating her. But people judge us every day for different things. The only was to arm yourself against those judgements is self confidence. Confidence knowing that you tried everything else and you didn't make the decision lightly. If u are at that place then heal your guilt with confidence. You are her mumma bear and you need to do what's right for your dd!!
