[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 227581, member: 6326"] I am no doctor but I would also advocate for no medication at all for while just to see what you get IF your doctor feels that it is OK. We have almost no ADHD kids on medication until age 7 because we have a concept that it is called wood kindergarten. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_kindergarten"]Wikipedia has a page with references to study here (link)[/URL]. It seems that extreme outside activity can remove most of the symptoms by less severe cases. Now where you child are older you do have to remember one thing when you take him of medication (which you of course do working closely with your doctor): Daily exercise and you are the coach because you actually need to either walk with him for an hour or run slowly for 15-30 minutes first thing in the morning BEFORE classes. When my oldest child was 10 our teacher made us parents conduct an experiment together with several classes on schools across Denmark. We met half an hour before the bell rang and did run with our children for 15-20 minutes and ate breakfast before we parents left for work. Result: The children became more quiet and their performance increased despite if they had ADHD or not. Those who were sad and on the edge of being in need for medication against for medication against depression could do without. It seems that exercise seems to reorder the thoughts in general which of course helps those with ADHD which without medication suffers from total chaos of thoughts from time to time, but I have to point out that it is only less severe cases which can be dealt with replacing medication with exercise and that is the mission for you and your child. You have to find out how bad it is, before the right medication can be found for your child. I pray that you can reach the right solution for you child. It is going to be a tough time. [/QUOTE]
