Hello everyone!

I am new to this group. I have a six year old son who was diagnosed with ADHD at the end of last year. To say that I am having a hard time with him would be putting it lightly. I am not getting much help from his school so far we've had the IEP meeting for special education. I am against medicating children and I feel my son's school is pushing the issue as a quick fix. Luckily my son has an AWESOME teacher this year who is very patient and positive.

I hopped on this board to connect with other parents of children with ADHD. Hopefully reading your stories will help. Any advice is always appreciated!
