I really wish parents would think for themselves and not listen to these “professionals”. Once a child starts these meds it’s almost impossible to stop. Children who start at a young age can have serious mental repercussions as they age. A child who “can’t sit still” needs to be taught correct behavior. At home. Not stuffed full of pills. I remember a conversation I had with a mom who was so glad that her young son wasn’t always knocking over his glass at dinner since he started his medication. She didn’t like my response.
