I have been fending off teachers and administrators, one of which is my wife, for years over my now eight year old. All of them wanted him on meds. He's extremely intelligent and max energy. It takes work but I keep telling them that they chose this career and this is part of it. We have taken parenting sessions and behavior counseling, which I highly recommend. Over the past year he has been improving and is showing great "progress " i.e. maturing. Not going to lie. It has been kinda fun saying "told yeah". I can accept in some rare instances meds might be beneficial but I mean very rare.
