[quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher and I have a few students with documented adhd whose parents don’t medicate and I have a hard time understanding why. These are such sweet kids who end up in trouble because of impulse control. They can’t always pay attention to directions to understand what is going on. If they distract others they hear their name called constantly. Teaching is hard right now, most kids lack a good attention span do to an overload of screens (at school and at home) and immediate gratification. So if your kid is an outlier then it’s probably pretty bad. I don’t think there’s much you can do without meds besides focusing on maximizing his sleep and his nutrition and minimizing screens. Get him into a heavy sport like swimming multiple days a week?[/quote]
