I think it is great that you are all giving your child responsibility for taking meds.  Of course you check being them, but they are at a great age to really understand the importance and their responsibility.  We did that with Kristin.  She is 16 now and for years she has taken her meds on her own.  Still, even now, I occasionally ask ifshe remembered.  I figure that in a couple of years she will be in college and who will remind her then.  ’I  would rather it be a habit that is ingrained in her.
