[quote=Anonymous]I have ADHD as well as both of my kids. When my oldest was first diagnosed, I didn’t want to medicate and tried techniques that I knew could have worked for me when I was young. He would do really well and then regress, then get back on track, then regress, and it was taking a toll on his self esteem. At 14 he asked if he could maybe try medication just to see if it helped and I agreed. It was like a light switch got turned on and he was a totally different child. He is now getting ready to graduate from a college prep school and is heading to a top 50 school in the fall. Luckily Focalin works well and he only takes it at school or if he needs to focus. Generally weekends and summers are no medication.[/quote]
