[quote=Anonymous]OP- we haven't medicated yet either and this is a valuable discussion. I used to think I wouldn't use medication, but now, my son is eleven, and the hormones are amping up. We're starting to have more impulsivity, defiance, etc., and it's emotionally harder for me to deal with that behavior because it can feel a lot uglier. The lack of focus and ability to plan/organize is harder to manage at this age- there social and academic consequences that can't be smoothed over. I expect we will medicate starting over the summer before middle school to work out the rough spots. [/quote]
