[quote=Anonymous]As a mom of two kids with severe ADHD, honestly, at that age, I would just hold off. My kids couldn't tolerate it and both waited until high school. I would swap the drugs for a ton of executive function coaching and tutoring, and make sure they're in an environment that tolerates the inattention. Those drugs make you feel horrible and starting at 7, staring down 20 years or more of it would make me cranky and not want to take it either. And I know I'll get criticized for this opinion, but I do have experience and stand by it. It's just too young to start these drugs.[/quote]
