[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Don't those meds affect your child's brain development at such a sensitive young age? [/quote] Yes! We've consulted with our ped, a neurologist & a psychologist. None think meds are a good idea for a young child (ours is 7). A psychiatrist friend keeps saying we should medicate him, but IMO psychiatrists thinks meds are the answer for everything. We've been treating DS with cognative behavioral therapy and some diet modifications recommended by a nutritionist (Kelly Dorfman). He's also in a school with small classes and plenty of time to get his wiggles out. Before starting meds, I highly recommend reading the book Boys Adrift. It was written by a psychiatrist and has lots of info on treating boys with ADHD.[/quote]
