Its more than that though, you can't just say no to sweets without replacing that behavior with something else. My mom just forced me to stop eating dairy and wheat because she believed it was hurting me. If you force the key it may brake, then you can't get inside at all. You force someone, like my mom does, you get an eating disorder. She forced me because she knew I could do it, I did however devolpe an eating disorder in response, but I took care of it all by myself. Once you adjust the mood in a positive way, the rest flows like magic. Someday, you may never want to go back, I don't. She sends conflicting messages to me all the time, that doesn't allow a child to devolpe an emotional attachement to their mom. She blamed it on aspergers syndrome though, probably so she would have to look at her own behavior. She tells people how retarded I am 5 minutes later. I have patience though, I understand her issues. 5 minutes later I am to go to college, and I think my boy will be presdent someday.
I don't recommend pills in the kitchen, as a child may get at them.
I don't recommend in the bathroom closet either, as moisture in there could destroy potency of pills, unless the bathroom is ventilated, and doesn't have mold in it like mine. As long as I keep up, the mold probably won't bother me, final stage cancer didn't, the most agressive chemo resistant cancer.
I would read the pill bottles, Jessica doesn't, and she is having problems, she would never know if her meds need adjusting.
