[QUOTE="Janna, post: 4635, member: 2737"] Hi everyone, My 7 year old son is having some difficulty, apparantley, maintaining himself in the classroom. The teacher is reporting him as "too impulsive" - "unable to stay in his seat" - "taking up too much space for such a little guy". Although he seems a little hyper at home, I would not suspect him to be ADHD, however, the teacher is believing this is so. I am starting to see a little bit of hyperactivity in him and his inability to sit still during homework. Although I think some of this is probably age related, I was wondering if there are any suggestions that may be able to help him rather than going the medication route. FYI - he has congenital heart disease. Tricuspid atresia, transposition of the great vessles, atrial and ventricular septal defect. I did speak to the head of cardiology about this, there are a couple of ADHD medications that MAY be okay, but he'd rather not go that route if not totally necessary. Can I maybe change his diet some, or have him tested to see if something is triggering this? I wouldn't even have a clue where to start. With Dylan, it's always been psychiatrists and medications, and quite honestly, I don't want to have to go this route with easy child if not necessary. Oh, he's on Captopril for blood pressure, 6.5 mg. 3x a day. It's supposed to make him tired [img]:rofl:[/img] [img]:rofl:[/img] [img]:rofl:[/img] Yeah, right! Thanks in advance. Janna [/QUOTE]
