Since my kids have seen me take medication on a regular basis, I am pretty open with them as to why. I have kid answers for them rather than the diagnosis. If and when they are ready to know more, I will have no problems talking to them about it.
For now, they know it as mommy's 1. no more baby pill (reason: 4 is a perfect number for me!); 2. no more crabby pill and 3. no more crazy pill.
The other day, I was just about DONE! Cameron was into more than usual. Grace was especially sensitive to life and was very teary. At one point I shoo-ed both of them into their rooms to sit on their beds.
A while later, they both came out and Cam asked why they were in time out because he didn't do anything wrong.
I told him that it was mommy who needed a time out because she was crabby.
His response.... "Take a pill, Mom"
I laughed so hard! And so did the person I was on the phone with who heard the entire thing~ thankfully she was someone who knows me VERY well and has known me FOREVER!
The kids and I danced in the living room until we were dizzy to get all the laughter out!

If only it were so easy to fix the problems we have!! That is so funny.
