[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry to say this but your post is breaking my heart. You are absolutely opposed to medication even if your child has a treatable medical condition? He may not have ADHD -- you should absolutely get him evaluated by a developmental pediatrician -- but if he does, and you withhold medical treatment, you are doing him a huge disservice. he won't get these years back. Kids with untreated ADHD have higher rates of substance abuse, are more likely to get in trouble with the law, there's a long list. I am NOT saying all kids with ADHD need to be on medication. But you need to educate yourself because there's a lot of ignorance in your post about these meds. My DS could keep it together at school and melted down completely when he came home, every day. Once we finally treated his ADHD he became much happier. he had really been miserable, working so hard just to keep up. Life is harder for these kids. Do you want that for your son?[/quote]
