[QUOTE="Malika, post: 555041, member: 11227"] Thanks Steely. Of course I was hoping for a long time that J wouldn't ever be diagnosed with anything :) Acceptance of reality is a process... About stimulants. Actually, J doesn't need them for school, that's the thing... both his present teacher and the last one express surprise when you talk about hyperactivity because they see a little boy who sits still during class, concentrates more or less on the lesson and is rather turbulent and difficult in recreation times but nothing beyond what seems "normal". I too can deal (just about) with J's difficult behaviour, even though it is much worse at home. The time when I would, to be honest, be tempted to medicate him would be during unstructured social activities - such as taking him to a restaurant for a meal, to a birthday party, playing out in the street with other kids, going to rugby, all of that... because his hyperactivity and impulsivity make him not very welcome at these events (play fighting all the time, for example, jumping on other kids, etc) and hard to endure for him. Often people give medication Monday to Friday and not on the weekend. I would like to give it just on the weekend or at his sporting events... [/QUOTE]
