Help please

Hi there is a friend of mine at a place called hme start who i work with who has a 6 yr old son with adhd and i was woundering if anyone had any info on it? info about how to cope what can help and the causes of it thanks

there are tons of resources on the web for it. tell her to do some research. and a good doctor should be able to tell her how to cope.

i know this you see she has done some resheacrh im just seeing if anyone on here new anyother stuff thats all it would really help her

the standard line treatments (medication/therapy for behavioral strategies) are still the most effective treatment. As for medications there are many more available nowadays. There is a stimulant free Strattera, there is better time release ritalin, etc.

her son is on 10mg of rialin hes only six so they cant give him much i just thought id see if anyone on here had anyother ideas about it. I mean its good to ask just incase there is anyone on here that knows of anything else

ritalin helps if it is a medication that works well for that individual. she should see a therapist for behavioral strategies for her son as well.

ill e-mail here i dont actully think she has thought of that its a good idea the meds do work he was really not doing well at school then the other we he came home with a pupil of the week bag she was really chuffed(pleased) about it.

you should really check out www.webmd.com they have a VERY large and credible database to all kinds of diseases. talking to a school counselor might do some good too.
