This is not baby related, but I was wondering if any of you mommies out there have had a child with ADD or ADHD? My sons teacher is concerned about him and he may need to be checked. I was just wondering what are the best options and/or treatments for it? I've heard different things about different medications so I just want to know what might help him the best. thank you ladies! :)
my little brother's teacher told my mom the same thing . the drs put him on Adderal.
& sure when he was on it he focused more but as my brother got older he realized what the drug was doing . he started taking it before he would go to the gym or to a party , started taking more than his dose until my mom realized the problem then when she took away his adderals he went to other Street drugs that he found to have the same effect. like coke , etc. now a teacher is saying my sister has it but my mom refuses to put her on anything and says kids are young and wild and it's hard for them to concentrate but if she can control her at home then she's fine. I'm not trying to say putting your son on drugs is bad but in our experience it didnt work for us but every child is different . . my brother obviously didn't actually need them but maybe your son actually does.? :)
@hernandezmommy, thank you for the info. I was concerned about the adderral, I've heard so many crazy things about it. I really dont want to medicate my son and have him be a zombie. I'll just have to talk with his pediatrician and see what he recommends. Thank you so much for your input! :)
