[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks so much for all the feedback.  Keep it coming.

We are facing this decision for a first grader.   I am past the denial phase and moved into the realization that he has some kind of problem.     Yes he is an active boy as PP mentioned but every single teacher notes that his behavior is out of the norm.   In a smaller class or with one on one he would be fine.  In a class with 20 kids and many distractions no so much.

He knows he is not doing well at school with his behavior and I am sure he is not learning as much as he could.    But he is doing OK which would be fine with me except that he wants to do better and cannot.  Its hard to watch.   He is seeing a psychologist but there is only so much talking you can do with a 6 year old that has much impact.  [/quote]

Please, Please have your child properly evaluated by a team, see a Psychiatrist, who is the only person to prescribe the RX for ADD and to make the diagnosis.
My son is in college now and is still struggling with this you don't outgrow the ADD or need for the medication.  The sooner that you as a family and your son comes together and faces the situation the happier you all will be.  My son spent too many unhappy years in grade school because of this.

[i]he wants to do better and cannot.  Its hard to watch [/i]    Been there done that,  <3

If I were you, don't ask for or listen to those who are against meds for ADD or don't have experience with a kid with it.  [/quote]
