[quote=Anonymous]We did kid therapy for a year (age 9-10) before we tried meds. If you have a decent therapist they also share some discipline/incentive parenting techniques (especially involving de-escalating) that work better with impulsive and/or hyperactive kids. They should even have suggestions to help with executive functioning. We still ended up with medication a year later but now only during the school year. And 3 years later into teenage hood, we still use the techniques we learned. Hang in there. You can get to a place where the good days outnumber the bad ones.[/quote]
