IS IT POSSIBLE TO HELP YOUR CHILD WITH ADHD AND POSSIBLE ODD TO COPE WITHOUT PILLS?
I have a 5 year Old Daughter whom per the Psychiatrist presenting symptoms of ADHD and in teh school they think possibly odd as well. And my daugher is so small i hate to feed her body with pills, becuase i have gone through that with my son whom is a teenager and has more severe problems and has been on Medication management since he was Seven Years of Age, But with my daughter she is so smart, and bright but she is controversial in school has encountered at her young age irritability problems,agressiveness,and defiance but i am trying to see if there is another way to treat her other than med's i feel this would make this worse for her?
Please everyone share your opinions with me?
I have 2 sons, both are ADHD, and my older son has ODD. I tried medication for 6 months with my older son, and he had horrible reactions to every type of prescription. I then took him off of everything, it was like night and day. It was very challenging to get him through the transition, but it was all worth it. He is now a 15 year old, doing very well in high school, he is a top athlete with 2.5 gpa, and is a very popular kid. I had to teach him organization, a bit of self regulation, and work on his self esteem. I have had him very involved in sports, and swimming. The more exercise, the better for him. My younger son is severe ADHD, but the sweetest most loving child ever, not a bit of anger or hostility like the older one had. My only issue is the school, they are making it very difficult for us, and continue to "recommend" that I medicate my son.
