[quote=Anonymous]My son is 9 and also very small.

We thought about medicating, then decided to hold off.

He started executive functioning coaching this fall. And the public school, which isn't aware of his diagnosis, has tons of supports. An adult meets with him at the beginning and end of the day to make sure he's organized and discuss his plans/accomplishments. Nearly all assignments are on his iPad so we can review them after school.

The beginning of the school year was rough, tons of homework. But he's getting into a groove, getting more confident, and doing okay.

The same work can take 20 minutes one day and 2 hours another day. Some days he can focus and others he can't. His thumbs are just that interesting. But we're working on good study habits and learning not to procrastinate. We're lucky that he's bright, so that a lot of school work isn't challenging.

I know that meds are in his future, probably in 6th grade.

I think DH was initially more supportive of medicating, and I was hesitant. And now the roles are reversed. It may be because I spend more time working with DS and see his frequent struggles.[/quote]
