[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's your choice to pursue and adhd diagnosis. As well as medicating is a choice too. Redshirting is not the solution, parenting is.[/quote] Parenting includes making a carefully considered decision as to whether your child should be in an environment where, solely by his age, he or she is far more likely to encounter pressure from teachers and schools to start medication that might not be necessary. I think some of you are pretty idealistic as to how independent you can be from teachers and schools that are pressuring your child to get a diagnosis. Certainly, it's up to you and it's your decision. But sending your child into a classroom year after year where the teachers believe that the child should be medicated takes a significant toll.[/quote]
