It's you know, maybe when he gets older he won't need it.
Who's to say?
he might have that teen boy thing that seems to kick in for a lot of kids with ADHD that they want to manage it all themselves and they don't want to take medicine.
They don't want to talk about having it and you know, but so far he has not.
Yeah, I mean it really can make a huge difference.
And I don't think that medication or stimulant medication is the answer for every single person with ADHD.
There are some people who can regulate and do well without it.
But I think, you know, on the more severe end of the spectrum and especially when you add other factors in like learning disabilities, you know, it's I I just I don't like to see parents
Who make a decision about medication for their child for ADHD out of fear?
Because I think there's so much misinformation about ADHD medication out there.
And and we had the same problem.
You know, when he was diagnosed, my husband was like, I am not drugging him.
Because we didn't know better either.
You know, you you hear what is the common misconception out there and you don't know any better until it's you and you have to dive in and you have to really learn more.
And over time we realize that it's not at all doping a child into submission.
It's just helping to
kind of right a wrong in their neurology to fill in the gaps where neurotransmitters are lacking or not being efficiently used by the brain and the body.
So
It's hard.
You really have to and that's what I always encourage parents who ask questions about medication.
