ADHD - alternatives.to meds

[Anonymous]

My kid was on and off various medications and starting and stopping therapy and I was always looking for something else to try. The only other thing I’ve found to be effective is excessive exercise, if your kid is into it. When mine loved a sport and his team he was all in. This was long practices and working out almost every day and year round training. That hyper focus went to the sport and he was significantly calmer in every area of his life. That was helpful through middle school.

Now he’s a high schooler and dropped the sport. We are back to trying different medications because it’s the combo of that and therapy that’s helpful. It can take a long time to find the right combination but so helpful when it works.
