[quote=Anonymous]My child was willing and capable of trying other things without the meds. My child's self esteem was not being destroyed, he was on board with our other attempts. We're in the tricky middle school years right now, and I occasionally see hints that he might need meds but so far so good. If my child was miserable, if his ADHD was causing poor self esteem, if he wasn't responding to or capable of fully participating in handling the condition without medication, we'd go to meds. Choosing to use meds or not is not a one-time thing. You have to keep evaluating the situation and be willing to take another path when it's time.[/quote]
