[quote=Anonymous]Not all ADHD requires meds - only a percentage does. I don't know how severe your DC is. One of our DC takes meds and the other doesn't - but when we were unable to fulfill the prescription for a couple weeks recently (shortages) his teacher reported to us that he was fine in class. At home he released that coiled up energy, which is (partly) why we resumed meds when we could refill the prescription. My point is, he could get by without meds and our other DC doesn't need meds, he just lots of reminders and lots of patience. Kids with ADHD outgrow the hyperactivity around 10-12 (they may still be restless and fidgety but they won't be zooming all over the room anymore). The impulsivity and attentional difficulties, as well as executive functioning deficits, will need to be learned to handle, as a lifelong skill. [/quote]
