[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are your kids on medication for the ADHD?[/quote] I'm not sure which poster you're asking - there's a few of us! Mine, we tried but getting him to take pills everyday was too much. Starting off the morning with a fight is never good. It also upset his stomach. And after 3 weeks, there wasn't a big enough improvement to justify the daily drama. I did try blending the capsule contents in smoothies, but he hated that too. We also did not want him to feel like he "had" to have drugs to behave/pay attention/focus. He does well enough academically that I am not concerned (yet). He doesn't finish all his projects, but his spelling, reading, and math are all above grade level. His handwriting is... Bad. But he has learned cursive and actually prefers it to standard. His cursive is one of the best in his class (his standard is the absolute worst).[/quote]
