My son was diagnosed as ADHD and was on Ritalin for a few years but it made him feel sick and weird. Thankfully, we found an organization in our city that helped him learn to journal and make lists for himself to cope with his flakiness, haha, and inability to concentrate. He was determined to overcome the problem when he was a teenager and ended up doing very well in school and now in business but even as an adult he had to learn how to be organized daily.
My daughter thinks my grandson may have a problem, but her doctor gave her some interesting informaion, that bipolar disorder and many other problems for children are ALL lumped into one category - ADHD.
So I agree with Robyn, you have to be careful that you have your child on the correct meds and that you and your resources at school or wherever are helping your child the best way possible.
