[QUOTE="Malika, post: 572964, member: 11227"] The thing is... medication really wouldn't make my life any easier much of the time, if I were to look at it from the selfish angle. The effect would be wearing off in the evening after school with all that that involves - increased hyperactivity, increased opposition, etc. And then.... these substances are strong ones to be administering into six year old bodies, and in no way "natural" (unlike insulin to rectify diabetes). This side of things is a valid concern! It's a difficult balance. And then... there is another hyperactive kid at the play centre where J goes on Wednesdays and he is apparently much more turbulent and uncontrollable than J (though J gets really wild in his company, I am told) - and he is taking stimulants!! I just don't see this as an obvious option. Doesn't mean I would never consider it, obviously. [/QUOTE]
