[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does he go? We couldn't get into one school because of the issues. [/quote] OP, if your kid needed glasses to see the blackboard, would you deny him this? If your kid needs medication so that he can participate in school, why would you deny him this?[/quote] This is an exhaustingly specious analogy. Meds at 4 is a very legitimate concern and in no way can we compared to a pair of glasses. I eventually resorted to medication when my DS turned 9 because years of various behavioral therapies were not sufficient and the benefit of medication outweighed the risk. I'm not suggesting that OP shouldn't medicate at this stage (the immediate needs of each child are different), but OP's prudence should not be minimized with oversimplified comparisons.[/quote]
