My daughter was daignosed with ADHD when she was in kindergarten. I refused to put her on any medication because I had seen negative results from others who's children were over drugged! By the time she was in Second grade, it got worse and so did her grades. She was an A student, but could not concentrate and lost interest fast leading to her getting in trouble a lot for interupting the class. The teacher pulled me aside and suggested I have her tested. I told her she already has been and then she suggested I research it more so I did! Now I can say I am glad I did. She has been on medicine for 3 years now but I only give it to her when she is in school. My son was also diagnosed last year with ADHD in kindergarten and I did not hesitate to start him on the medication as well. He is a totally different person when on the medication. Don't get me wrong he still gets in trouble (lol) but his grades are great and when we forget a dose the teacher definately knows! They even call me to bring it to him! lol Each child is different and reacts differently. I would research as much as you can and talk to a pshycologist as well.
