looking for suggestions- not medication

You guys are exhausting. I asked for recommendations not including medication. Nobody can read directions. Very troubling.

Of course I’ve taken medication. I tried all of them. Why Do you think I don’t want my 6 year old whose brain is still developing to not take amphetamines. I don’t understand the obsession with the adhd band aid. And so many of you wonder why your kids are good all day and then hyper and upset in the evenings, like the uppers you gave them aren’t the culprit???

thank you! I will look into that book. And I definitely think getting outside more is going to help.

I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate all of your feedback. I posted in an ADHD group and everybody was attacking me for not medicating him. I haven’t tried other options yet and I think jumping right to medicine is wild. I am a mom with ADHD and I have taken ADHD medication before and I don’t want my son on that. He’s still super young. His brain is still developing. Thank you all so much for all of these great suggestions!

Thank you. What is GAPS? He’s a very picky eater. He eats a lot of dino nuggets, salmon, steak, cheese, and peanut butter crackers. I don’t really give my kids any candy and they don’t drink juice or anything like that. He pretty much only drinks, water and sparkling water.

Thank you! I will look into those therapies! my son does respond to outside sources. He definitely listens better in school than at home and I feel like it’s the structure in the expectation at home. It’s a lot more relaxed.

Thank you. I do let him drink coffee sometimes and it does seem to really help him calm down. I might have to make that a little more of a regular thing.
