[quote=Anonymous]Not sure you are still reading  and I had to stop after about the 5 th post.  I am usually so kind on here but your post sounds so judgemental..." Am I the only one...etc.". Does your child really have adhd and has been diagnosed by a doctor with testing?

As a parent with an adhd child, medicine was the only thing that helped - with focus, attention, learning, peer group.  Your post makes me want to cry and I am years away from this now as I have an amazing, successful son.  Why do people post like this....do you really think you are the better parent?  NO WAY did I want to give my child meds.  I read and read and consulted specialist after specialist, cried endlessly.  Would you say " am I the only one not giving my diabetic child insulin.  I'm such a better parent and love him more than you do yours as can manage it all by myself."  The kids who take meds take it for a medical reason and NEED it.  It is not a choice!  If you have a choice, maybe your child got the wrong diagnosis.

And while you have pushed my buttons,,,,if it is adhd ( like my son had) He is a pain in class because mine was.  I have a quiet, shy kid too and guess what...when your class clown is joking, talking, jumping all day and the teacher constantly has to redirect it bothers my shy, quiet child who comes home stressed and does not like your child.  Wow, just wow.[/quote]
