Well, here goes. My pediatrian, someone who I respect very much was strongly against drugs for children for this disorder unless there were extreme circumstances and they were older.
Please don't hate me here....but he believed...and I do also...that the problem most of the time is a behavior problem and also the need to be more active.
I have to admit my son was spoiled although at the time I did not want to admit it. I worked on that and I also made sure that he got plenty of exercise.
No, he was not perfect, and yes there were problems along the way. The end result though is that he learned to control his behavior, he learned to cope and he did so without drugs. He is a teen now and doing very well in school, he is very well behaved and I am glad that we pulled together as a family and found a way to do it without drugs.
I would recommend talking to someone about natural remedies, giving him plenty of exercise and also being firm about unacceptable behavior.
