[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a very complex issue and it’s not as simple as the parents are anti medicine or in denial about their child’s behavior. Giving stimulants to children is a big deal. I’ve also seen similar effects with exercise—so giving medication can feel like the “easy” or “lazy” way out. When my ADHD nephew joined a year round swim team with daily practices was the year that he finally was able to focus and finally turned things around. Before that he’d done soccer with 3 practices a week but that wasn’t nearly enough. I know my brother and his wife felt guilty about giving him medication in the past instead of channeling that excess energy into physical exercise. [/quote] It’s more than excess energy [/quote]
