If you don’t medicate your very ADD middle school child?

Do you live together with his dad?
If not I wouldn’t even ask him tbh

I totally understand the desire not to medicate, but then you should really reconsider her schooling. You are setting her up to fail, and to feel miserable about herself, in a traditional classroom setting without giving her the medication she needs.
