Is your child on ADHD medication? Please tell me your story. Should my son start taking meds, what kind?
31 Dec 2008
My son is 6 1/2 and has had ADHD symptoms since he was 3. He has been to doctors and they all wanted to see if he would “grow out of it” or see how he was in school. Well he had not grown out of it, its only gotten worse. And now that he is in 1st grade, his teacher says “it couldnt get any worse” He is falling behind in school and getting bad grades. He is a very smart and well behaved kid, his teacher agrees, but his problem is disrupting his schooling. We have tried everything that we were suggested and found on the internet: play therapy, behavioral therapy, strict routine and limiting certain food intake. With none of those things working, we are taking him back to a doc and are seriously considering medication.
