Recusatio Parentalis

(Parental Refusal, unqualified)

Dosage	One (1) firm no, delivered at eye level, no explanation offered
Frequency	Once daily minimum; more as tolerated
Duration	Until the child accepts 'no' as a complete sentence
Refills	Unlimited — explanations are optional; enforcement is not

Side effects May include an extended tantrum at the cereal-aisle checkout, a 40-minute negotiation that patient will not engage in, and — by day six — the observation that the child has accepted two no's without follow-up. Children, apparently, can do this.

What is this?

Prescription Recusatio Parentalis belongs to the Institute Pharmacy's catalog of non-pharmacological interventions. The dosage is fictional. The intervention it describes is not. Patients who follow it tend to observe the predicted side effects.

The pharmacy's plain-language rendering is Parental Refusal, unqualified. The Latin is for the slip; the English reading is for filling it at home.
