[quote=Anonymous]This thread is very timely for me, thanks OP! DS is 7, diagnosed inattentive, and a psychiatrist prescribed Ritalin. We've yet to start. I'd appreciate any thoughts about Ritalin, as well as any thoughts about whether your kids only took the meds as needed, or did better taking it every day. The psychiatrist suggested we skip the weekends unless DS has something big and could benefit from the meds. Also, were your young kids able to perceive and comment on whether they found the meds to be helpful? And finally, what did you tell your kids about the meds and diagnosis? My DH is concerned about mean kids/parents and has suggested we tell DS that he's taking extra vitamins for now. We haven't shared the diagnosis widely. THANKS![/quote]
