[quote=Anonymous]Meds made a 1000% difference for my DS at school. Before meds he couldn't sit still, was completely unfocused, was unable to complete any task, and basically had been ostracized by the other kids for being so "annoying". Now he's a good student and actually has friends. Honestly, I think his self-esteem took a hit from his early years in elementary school (pre-school, K and part of 1st) and in some ways I don't think his self-esteem has fully recovered and he's in high school now. Waiting and trying all of kinds of non-med strategies only prolongs the inevitable for most kids. There are some kids who don't respond well to ADHD meds so that's a completely different situation than a parent resisting it because of their own personal bias towards meds. [/quote]
