Hundreds of parents are deciding to hold off prescription drugs as the first course of treatment in treating ADHD without medication. It seems a lot of schools because of the pressure to perform in test scores and not having the time to deal with a child that does not conform in the usual sense of the word will be labeled a kid with ADHD. Just because a teacher or counselor says your child is ADHD does not mean they are. Make sure they have received a correct diagnosis before being medicated and an alternative therapy may work better for them. Even if after a correct diagnosis treating ADHD without medication is possible.

Controlling ADHD without meds has been growing in popularity because so many parents do not want to medicate their child. Parents do not want the side effects and the possibility of long term effects such as becoming dependant on drugs well into adulthood.

Hundreds of parents using alternative therapies have tried the following combination of with much success;

• Let them get sleep. Children need 10-12 hours of sleep per night minimum
• Exercise. So many children do not get the exercise they need; walking to school, involvement in sports helped in many major attentive problems
• Behavior therapies
• Diet
• Homeopathic remedies
• B12, Omega3, Vitamin E has helped concentration and mood
• Make sure your child does not have a learning disability or is dyslexic

I have personally used alternative therapies in treating my son’s attention problems and it was hard to believe, but the first week he was able to finish his work in the classroom and was not disrupting the class! I am not against prescription drugs as they do serve a purpose. I believe that conventional and complementary medicine can work together. If antibiotics are needed to kill a bacteria I’m all for it, but to needlessly give amphetamines or antidepressants to a young developing mind is not something I want to do.
