[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don’t want to put him on medication yet and would prefer other alternatives first, though medication may be necessary in middle and high school.[/quote]

First off what is your doctor saying, but why would you resist medication?  Medication is the number one option for ADHD and it is super effective. Both of my kids have ADHD and we struggled for a long time before we got a diagnosis and put them on medication.  The change in their behavior overall and their school work was night and day.  My kids are able to focus and pay attention in school and they actually they actually feel much better about themselves now and even enjoy school.[/quote]

This. Meds can help tremendously. While obviously they shouldn’t be the first step they can make a huge difference.

Also have 2 with inattentive ADHD. My middle kid was in 11th grade by the time we figured it out. Once we found the right med and dosage it was a night and day change. She was always a great student but the meds just made it so much easier for her with a lot less stress and last minute panicking.  I really wish we had known sooner. Only diagnosed after her younger sibling was diagnosed through a neuropsych exam and we realized they shared a lot of the same qualities. [/quote]
