[quote=Anonymous]We were kind of in your shoes OP. 4th grade teacher suggested we look into it. We did. She said it helped him. I think it probably did. We dropped it about 1/2 way through 6th grade to see how he managed. One teacher said he was distracted and playing with his scissors during class. He is now in 7th grade. He forgets to do assignments at times. I think he is distracted in class. BUT, he is getting by. It's a tough situation b/c you hate to have your kid on amphetamines when their brains are developing so rapidly. Yet, they probably do need the benefit of it to really focus. So, for us, right now, we are not medicating. If he can get by without it -- even if it is not as good as he would do with it --- we are letting it slide. There may come a time in HS when he isn't doing as well and we re-visit the issue. You just do what you need to do to get through the present. Worry about the future in the future.[/quote]
