[quote=Anonymous]PP just described our classic inattentive child. We also researched, debated, stalled trying meds. We tried OT and tutoring. We tried dietary changes, adding more activities, supplements. Kid simply could not stayed focused. This caused anxiety, low grades, social problems and ultimately low self steem and sadness/anger in a mild easy going child. Seeing that sadness and talking with an older child who was very articulate explaining how different he felt when he was taking his meds vs. not taking them changed our minds. We saw a phenomenal difference within hours of starting medication. 3 years later our child has a ton of friends, awesome grades, is confident, proud and overall happy. We kick ourselves for not trying meds sooner. I think everyone's journey is different and part of me envies those parents that have found success with alternative therapies, but I don't regret this decision at all.[/quote]
