[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 582948, member: 12725"] TeDo, My two ADHD kids are off medications. They were on them until they were mature enough to develop and work on coping skills and were willing to spot verbal and visual clues from others for when to put the skills to work, so they could personally manage the disorder and not the medications. We told them until they can manage the ADHD by themselves the medications will do it for them. Telling them that gave them a sense of control over it, even at the age of 7 or 8. [/QUOTE]
