[quote=Anonymous]I'm a big fan of medication, it helped my father, it helps me and it helps my son, all of whom have classic ADHD. That said, don't do anything until at least fifth grade -- my son, who now is shockingly obviously ADHD would vary year by year through elementary school, in terms of his attention. One year, teachers would flag it as a real issue, the next year, teachers would say, "are you kidding, this kid is so locked in!" Let them develop a bit, giving extra support and encouragement and consider medication when they're a bit older. Your job right now is to make sure they don't get discouraged.[/quote]
