[quote=Anonymous]I ended up being a teen buddy to an 8 yo ADHD kid at vacation bible school years ago. The kid was on a med break and was having major issues participating so I was brought in as her buddy to keep her on task and to try to keep her from totally upending the room. We connected really well and on day 4 she completely broke down after we had stepped out of the room to calm down. She told me she hated being off of meds because she couldn't control herself and hated the feeling. She wanted her meds so she could make friends and participate like she did at school. She felt like a freak without them and and hated being ostracized for being impulsive and disruptive. (Truly we were all doing our best--this was her not feeling like she could engage with her peers.) I'd talk to your child and be flexible. Try going without and see how it goes. If they want meds, I'd listen. [/quote]
