[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:07 again---I will add that we ended up not needing to medicate our 3 yr old.  But it was only because I was looking at every means not to.  Behavior modification did nothing for my child.  But yoga did.  It taught him self-regulation.  And once he had that under control, the behavior modification strategies worked.  But if I had not turned over every rock I could to avoid medication, I would never had tried yoga.  And trust me....yoga is not one of the therapies that was readily recommended to me.  Most people looked at me as if I was crazy.  But I had nothing to lose and now being on the other side, I can say, I had nothing to lose but everything to gain.[/quote]
I'm really impressed with your journey. It seems to be very much out of the norm, at least according to what we see in the special needs forum.[/quote]

To be fair, my kid has anger issues not adhd.  The drug that was recommended was rhisperdohl (sp?).  When you read the side affects, it's enough to scare the crap out of an adult considering it.  Considering it for a 3 yr old made me look for any other possible solution.  I was lucky that I found one that worked.[/quote]
You were much more than lucky. You were committed and persistant. You made the time. And found the energy.[/quote]
