[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would really encourage you to try medication. The difficulty that some kids feel trying so hard to manage themselves without it is incredible, and I truly don’t understand why people would not to give their child all the help they could. It’s sad how some unmedicated kids struggle so much and get negative messages all day at school about themselves. [/quote]
This. I delayed on medication until high school, just because of this “try everything before medication” attitude. It was a huge mistake to let my kid struggle for so long and so much. Medication isn’t a magic bullet, but if you are patient and work to find the right one, it can be significantly helpful.

I think my kid’s childhood development - both academic and social - would have had a different, more positive trajectory had he started medication in 3rd grade instead of 9th. I also think he would have ended up with better self-esteem and confidence, which is really the critical underpinning to everything else.[/quote]
