[quote=Anonymous]Different situation, but my child has significant attention issues that were confirmed by a neurologist and a neuropsych at age 5. We are just starting medication. I have been agonizing over the decision, but the fact is that he is already receiving intervention, and he has to work much harder than his peers to hold it together at a young age when very little is expected of him. It’s affecting his self worth. It’s affecting his learning and will continue to do so . Our well regarded doctors are suggesting medication, which they don’t do lightly for young kids. If you trust your doctor, follow their guidance. If you need more opinions, do that. I wouldn’t throw medication out the window. As our neuropsych put things- medicate because it will take months for therapies to be effective. In the meantime, your child is enormously struggling and you don’t want them developing a complex at a young age. [/quote]
