dolphin71676 asked:


My 7 year old son has just been diagnosed with ADHD and we are not really to keen on the whole medication issue. We have tried for about 2 years with the behavior modification plan but he is now begining to struggle in school. Is there anything that works beside medication? I so don’t want to have him on amphetamines at 7 years old but I want the best for him and for him to be successful at school.
