[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] Fwiw, none of those (except problems at school - he's 4?) are reasons to medicate that young. Time will help. Give him time.[/quote] I do tend to agree with this as a parent of three children and someone who has and is medicated for ADHD. Emotional regulation is difficult for most 4 year olds as is behavior and inattention. My four year old daughter doesn't want to practice writing her letters or counting numbers and other kids do, but she's 4...Not all children mature at the same pace.[/quote]
