[QUOTE="Malika, post: 521880, member: 11227"] Hello Esther. Echoing wishes for a happy Passover. Your son and daughter-in-law will obviously take the decision that feels right to them, in the light of the knowledge they obtain. My own feeling about this is that I would not give Ritalin to a young child, whose brain is still developing, until it was clearly needed and in a sense inevitable. I would not give it, myself, just to try or even just on a doctor's recommendation. I have heard the testimony of parents who have found Ritalin a wonderful thing that has given their child some real quality of life back, and I respect their experience. At the same time, I can see no justification for giving it to a child who is "intellectually developing really well", to quote your words, unless there is some pressing problem with attention deficit that warrants it.
