[quote=Anonymous]I'm absolutely convinced we need to explore medication with our son. He is in K this year and was diagnosed earlier this year (while still in pre-k) with ADHD. We have since been doing behavioral therapy, OT, and swimming. He's had a behavior contract at school, but it is only worked so much. His biggest issue is impulsivity, but now that the academics are stepping up, the attention/focus is becoming more of an issue as well. Teacher says his performance is being severely impacted, he is not making as much progress in reading as he should, etc. My husband thinks he is just way too young to medicate, and not that I disagree entirely, but I also feel like we've exhausted options, and I don't want him to continue falling behind. I think he is taking a hit socially as well, due to the impulsivity. If you and your spouse disagreed on medicating your child, how did you get on the same page?[/quote]
