[quote=Anonymous]So we medicate and have for four years, for our now eighth grader. But before meds, when we had an ADHD diagnosis but weren’t ready to medicate in third grade, we let our daughter drink black tea with honey in the morning. And we tried to kind of force active play in the mornings via playground visits between 7:45-8:30am. I’m not sure about how that could work for a middle schooler, but if we didn’t medicate now I’d probably try to find a way for morning exercise to help her focus later. Exercise is so important though. At this point her meds wear off by 2pm and she manages homework, exec functioning etc only after vigorous exercise.[/quote]
