[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are not the only one.  DS is also ADHD and no, he is not on meds.  His grades are not suffering so far.  He has learned a lot of tactics to manage his ADHD to his advantage and to channel his extra energy into other activities.  In other words, we got ourselves a huge drama geek and a voracious reader.  Oh, and he's a class clown.  So far, no major complaints from ES, MS and now HS.

FWIW, diagnosed at 10 with ADHD.  [/quote]

My 7yo is definitely a class clown and chatterbox so on a continuous behavior plan for chattering and distracting others.  I do not plan to put him on meds unless his behavior deteriorates meaningfully.  To the PP:  how did you cope in elementary school with the constant feedback from teachers that he talks to much or distracts others?  Did yours mature and get better about that, or do you just accept that as long as the grades are good, the conduct issues are just something to be managed on a day-to-day basis, but not to get too wrapped up in or excited about?[/quote]
