[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What factors made the doctors make this recommendation? [/quote]

Op here. The ADHD diagnosis for one. Problems in school. Problems with attention. Problems with regulation. Problems with gaining new skills due to the severity of inattention and large amount of time spent in a state of disregulation. Problems at home with behavior. [/quote]

What are the impacts those problems are having though? The kid is 4.

Personally I would not medicate a 4 yo just to do better in preschool. I do not see the benefit. [/quote]

Op here. I think I’m gonna go ahead and follow the advice of our large medical team, but thank you for sharing.

My question was about experiences from people who have done this, not for opinions on whether we should ignore the unanimous consensus of multiple doctors.[/quote]

Idk, don’t invite discussion about whether medicating 4 yo is effective then. If you are medicating a child then they should be specific goals in mind. [/quote]
