[quote=Anonymous]Wow OP, I had to reread the post to make sure I didn't post this myself. Your son sounds exactly like my 5 1/2 year old. Same issues - impulsivity, ADHD, Behavior issues, language delays, fine motor delay. Not sure about epilepsy, but we are actually seeing a pediatric neurologist in about a month because I'm concerned he may be having absence seizures. We tried medication briefly about 6 months ago. It didn't do anything for him. We are considering trying to again in the future, but I want to see how he does in Kindergarten first and to try behavioral therapy. I have been trying positive discipline for now. Giving him incentives seems to work. I don't know how severe your son's ADHD is. Mine is significant in that he has a terrible time paying attention and staying on task. If it really starts to interfere with school, then we will go the medication route.[/quote]
