The careless handling of prescription drugs by so called responsible adults is shocking when you see how many kids get their hands on what we consider harmless drugs. They are necessary for our survival but to kids the colourful little pills and capsules look a lot similiar to candy. We should always be vigialant about our medicines.
as adults we are responsible for establishing the right standards for our children, grandchildren -- as you so ably point out Bonnie --they are like little sponges soaking up all in their environments -- peace,love and joy to you -- JMW

Very truthful words Bonnie! Pills and thrills seems to be the motto of parents and now the children. Just because a doctor says take these....does not mean you have to. Accidental overdose with meds...from adults to children are to common and please lock up the meds. If you feel depressed, give your meds to another trusted adult to hold onto, until your blues have passed.
I wonder, hear about a pill to enhance intelligence, shouldn't it be a mandatory dose for all our dear politicians?
And yes, why we can't open the darn things but the children can those "childproof" containers?
Your write is very well expressed and true! Now..this is also a thorn in my side....WHY IS IT ANY KID CAN OPEN THE DARN PILL BOTTLE, BUT WE ADULTS CANNOT???? I have just about broken every nail, ruined my eyesight trying to read the finnnnnnnnneeeeeeee print and still cannot get into the darn thing....so...I call my grandchild who is one and a half and hand it to him and he burps and smiles and opens the lid and hands it to me.....I wipe off the drool from the lid and take the whole bottle..... the child is safe and I am on my way to the ER!!!!! overdose!!! sorry.... hugs, lindalaw
Good write, Bonnie, about the dangers of over-dependence on drugs and the need to keep pills out of childen's reach.
There is a funny scottish short story called 'Maggie reilly and the National Health Service (NHS). Maggie had a cabinet choc-a-block with pills of every description; you see, she aye fond of a doctor's prescription.
We don't have blind faith in doctors anymore, like the folk of Doctor Findlay's day. Drug-pushers is all 'some' of them are.
True, we teach them, what we have been taught & on it goes they teach their children and in time, no one lives without popping pills...thoughtful write...Ed
It is important to keep your pills away from a curious child, it could be tragic, thank you for this write, and so many pills today look like Candy, the pills that allow me to live could easily kill a child!

Bonnie ~ This one's soooo true!! Some never look in the child's eye... to see what they know, to see what they feel, to see what they see...this makes me so empty. Warmth and Love to you. ~Carin
'Better Without You'is a compelling narrative that explores the complexities of an affair, hidden secrets, and abuse. It also highlights a daughter's heartfelt journey as she cares for her mother who is battling dementia.

So why wouldn’t these children notice what’s going on in our life.
How true, and I sadly fear they learn far more than pill popping from us today.
And yes, why we can't open the darn things but the children can those "childproof" containers?
