[quote=Anonymous]“I think you should take your head out of the sand, figure out what your kid needs at this point in time, and make that he gets it. As opposed to wishing and dreaming that something that makes you uncomfortable will somehow go away with time. Like meds?” There’s a pretty accepted list of best practices to help ADHD kids, including good quality sleep, regular exercise (especially before school), good diet, therapy, and meds when it interferes with the kid’s life. A hyperactive 10 y.o. in a traditional school program with a teacher who thinks there’s a problem is not likely to be feeling good about himself. My kid is combined and was miserable in that situation, even working with a therapist. Meds were the game changer. He can focus in school. And he doesn’t get criticized for being inattentive, doesn’t get in trouble for acting out, is doing much better socially, and can clearly articulate how his brain functions on and off the meds.
