[quote=Anonymous]he is pretty good at school.

however, at home, he is easily distracted.  It takes dozens of reminders for him to brush his teeth and get dressed for school or ready for bed.

I have read lots of info on ADHD and he fits the symptoms except he is not always in trouble at school at all.

He talks excessively.  He badgers and whines.  And yes, he drives me crazy.  I feel bad about this but if you have ever lived with a hyper child, I bet you would get annoyed too.  It is exhausting. He is constantly constantly "at" me.  His siblings will go play on their own.  They don't constantly pester me every 30 seconds.  It is weird.

We have hundreds of toys and activities but maybe I do need to find new ones, which is difficult in this electronics age.  I am not just going to give him Adderrall and video games.  I do not think that will make his life better.  It would prob. make my life better only.  I am sure that kids have had ADHD for hundreds of years and they were not medicated years ago.  I just don't want him addicted to stimulants. I am an all natural type person and I am with the Scientologists on that point - that psych meds are untested and could be dangerous.
