[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 552637, member: 2196"] I was very hesitant about giving my son any medications at all for his ADHD. I finally did so as a last resort. In school he was failing several subjects and his teacher reported spending most of her class time having to redirect his attention because he was usually staring off into space and biting his nails till his fingers bled. This year on Focalin he has done a huge turnaround. All of his teachers say he is hardworking and eager to learn. They say they don't see a problem with focusing for him at all. He is getting straight A's. He is so proud of himself. In the end I am very glad we chose to medicate because he is doing so much better and has much higher self esteem this year. I understand you being hesitant to medicate your very young child but honestly it could be a godsend. In the end the choice is yours. I know it's a tough choice to make, but I'm sure if you follow your heart you will make the right one. [/QUOTE]
