[quote=Anonymous]OP, I completely understand where you're coming, but I would advise you not to medicate my child just because it's more convenient for you. Usually at this age you medicate because the child could endanger himself or others or because he's showing signs of depression. I know it seems like torture to have to stand there oversee minor daily tasks like getting him to put on his socks and then his shoes and then his jacket. Try things like a check list, a timer, and rewards first and wait it out another year. He may outgrow it. Meds can be great but they are not perfect and there are side effects for most medications that are far worse than having a kid who does things slowly.[/quote]
