I resisted the urge to put my kid on meds for most of his childhood even though I knew he probably had some sort of focus shortcoming. He managed to excel at chess (national team member) even though he wasn’t on it, and to this day I wonder how much better he might have been if he had been on meds earlier, with all the issues he was having. Anyhow I finally relented his junior year in HS and his focus (not necessarily his organizational skills) improved rapidly after the right dosage was found. The only bad thing is that he’s pretty dependent, almost addicted if you will, on the medication. Quite irritable and cranky when he’s not on the medication now.
