[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I discussed the issue with the correlation between medication and height with our pediatrician. He said long-term studies showed that several boys have delayed growth but then reach the height the most likely were going to be within an inch. However, and this was the deal breaker for us- some boys have delayed growth in puberty and begin puberty later than other boys so they are short in junior high and the beginning of high school. Our son is short to begin with and we just didn't want to risk he would be the shortest kid in his grade until junior or senior year. [/quote] Does your kid truly have ADHD? Because if so, that seems like an awfully superficial and sorry to say dumb reason to withhold medication.[/quote]
