[QUOTE="buddy, post: 466635, member: 12886"] Great you are being open and supportive of your grandson. So nice you are a teacher too so can help him hang in there academically. My son has a neurologically based condition which results in adhd symptoms...and the ritalin worked from day one. dramatic difference. Other medications need to build, have honeymoons etc. of course as everyone has said. but the results from those medication have continued and that started at 4 and now he is 14. Regarding medications not fixing all of the issues, the great thing for many and certainly for us, is once you get their attention and they are able to take in information (and the same could be said if a kid was depressed or whatever and you got those issues more stable so they could begin the real work) THEN you can start to work on the other issues and are likely to have better success. I agree medications are scary and most people dont take it lightly. I get so frustrated when people say adults put kids on medications for their convenience. (not saying you ever said that, I mean the media) I know it is probably true that some do but for me, it is always a huge decision and balanced with his quality of life. [/QUOTE]
