For parents

To help take care of your child’s emotional health:²

• Be available for your children
• Let your kids know you’re listening
• Respond in a way your children will hear

Things change—and the medicine a child takes may need to change, too

To help manage mood, anger, attention, or sleep problems, some children take psychotropic medicine, which often is used to treat:

• Anxiety
• Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Depression

Over time, your child may:

• No longer need to take the medicine or
• Need to take a different dosage of the medicine

During a well visit, a doctor will ask:

• About any medicine that a child takes
• Why the child takes the medicine
• If the child responds well or not to the medicine

You and your child’s doctor will decide together when your child should start or stop taking a specific medicine. This is called deprescribing.

To help make sure your child takes the right medicine at the right time:

• Talk to your child’s doctor
• Keep track of your child’s medicine
• Make sure your child takes medicine as prescribed
