[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a child that young and a parent who is on the fence, I would begin with executive functioning therapy and school supports for the next year or two. Then get another formal neuropsych report and reevaluate. [/quote] I am dealing with this right now and my spouse is dead set against medication for reasons he can't even articulate. But he is willing to try executive function coaching and school supports, so we'll start there. Our pediatrician has already indicated a willingness to prescribe (we have a diagnosis from a neuropsych evaluation), so I'm keeping that in my back pocket. [/quote] He may change his mind over time. Right now, I’d proceed with what he does say yes to, and get your child as much support as you can. Have him read about ADHD, maybe attend some parent coaching therapy together. The more he learns, the more educated he will be about the disorder and its treatment options. [/quote]
