[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses. I think without the medication during the week, he might start having some behavioral issues as he goes about his normal day. His ADHD is pretty significant. So I think we do need to keep him on the medicine, but maybe we will try giving it to him later in the morning. When his medicine is at its peak, which is right about the time he has morning practices and the A meets, he is calmer but also gets super quiet and almost hyper-focused. Will try it and see how it goes. Thanks so much![/quote]

It can be different every year. I’m the poster from above. When my son was 10 he absolutely had to be on his medicine all summer 7 days a week. But he is 12 now and know how to regulate his body better. He went off of most of his medicine for the summer. It is a bad couple days when he goes off, but he is much more in control after day 5 of being off. He can’t take it during the week then not on the weekends like some kids do during school.  For all of my friends with kids with adhd, it is an art more than a science. Try different meds or different levels. Good luck![/quote]
