[quote=Anonymous]Well, I have never been in your position, OP, but I am someone who has taken strong psychotropic drugs, as has my DH. So, we are not against medication in all situations. That said, we have discussed what we would do if a teacher recommended ADHD medication for one of our children. To us, it would be a measure of last resort. Could it be that your child would do better in a different learning environment? Maybe he is being compared unfairly to "red-shirted" kids who are 18 months older than him. Maybe montessori would be a better fit? How much recess does he get? How long is his school day? Do you trust his teacher? Like her? Can he read? Perhaps his school has way too much academics for kindergarten and he just needs a little more time. Is home-schooling an option? How large is his class? Maybe it's overstimulating for him, or his teacher is overly focused on classroom management. Anyway, not sure if any of this is helpful to you, but whatever you decide, it's clear you love your child and want him to thrive. GL. [/quote]
