[quote=Anonymous]OP- start with behavior therapy and see how K goes. Your DS is pretty young for meds and there is time to make the decision down the road. If it's clear that he is unable to learn well in K and 1st, then you have more to think about. My DS is going into 4th- we've resisted meds for a few years but it's becoming clear that he might need them to function in middle school. The organization and social expectations shoot up quickly starting in third- every year is much harder than the last. You also may need to understand your DS's strengths and weaknesses. My DS clearly has some EF challenges and social challenges that are additional (not caused by) ADHD. Meds, in our case, may help with some things and not others.[/quote]
