[quote=Anonymous]I'm meeting with the pediatrician this week to discuss some concerns about my rising 2nd grade son regarding ADHD. I've been speaking to a few other parents and while I find it comforting that this isn't all in my head, I am a bit alarmed at the volume of children who are on stimulant meds. I don't object to the meds as ADHD is an illness that requires treatment, but for them to be the first course of action is a bit alarming to me. It would be so helpful for me if you could answer the questions below about your experience. First grade was so challenging for him and I just want to do whatever I can to help him succeed this year. At what age did your child receive a diagnosis? What initially made you think it was ADD/ADHD? Is your child on medication? If so, was it immediate or did you try other techniques and accommodations before introducing meds? What have you found to be most effective in treatment of the condition? [/quote]
