[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 204141, member: 3444"] Both difficult child 1 and difficult child 2 started medications the year before kindergarten. difficult child 1 was 5 yrs 10 months old and difficult child 2 was 5 years 5 months old. Had I known this was an option when difficult child 1 was 4, I would have done it. It made a HUGE difference for him both socially and academically. For difficult child 2, whose problems are different, it did not help to the degree it did with my other child -- but that's because he wasn't on the right medications (we now know). I'd certainly get a complete evaluation done FIRST by a qualified pediatrician psychiatrist and/or pediatrician neuropsychologist and go from there. [/QUOTE]
