Though of course you need the correct diagnosis as well. If your treating ADHD but your child really has anxiety it will backfire. True story unfortunately. Make sure you have a current diagnosis. You should be doing a new eval every few years. | No way to actually know from clinical testing what's causing the symptoms unless someone's running neurotransmitter testing.

It’s sad but true. I wasn’t giving him what he needed emotionally. He’s an exceptionally sensitive child and apparently this isn’t uncommon. I feel bad about all the years of struggle, but happy that I finally figured it out. No talk of medication anymore. (He is still an anxious kid, but it’s manageable) |
Can you elaborate please
I have an exceptionally sensitive child who is also sensory and a bit anxious. I often wonder if I had better tools if she can be doing better...

do your kids willingly take meds?
my sweet daughter is super resistant to taking any medications, vitamins, homeopathy, etc.
It's a real battle and I think things would be easier if she would take them..
gut voch!
