I have a 6 y.o diagnosed with adhd, i'm worried about putting him on medication. is this too early?

Usually: parents wait till the ADD interferes w' school functioning since some children's symptoms lessen when they mature. If your child's symptoms R severe & interfering with kindergarten & social activities U may want 2 consider it. Try enrolling the child in activities that teach them 2focus (dance, gymnastics, judo) which may help. U could do a trial on medication 2 C if it helps & stop if it doesn't
