My kid has been diagnosed with ADHD....need urgent advice

[sharry]

Hi there,

My son, aged 9 is really bright but a bit hyperactive.
He can really concentrate if he wants to but when he gets bored he goes a bit crazy !

My husband is a businessman and very much like him...he is exceptionally talented, but his mother (my mother in law) said he had the same issues in school!

Does that mean that my husband also has it...if so he has done really well career wise so i'm not sure what that means?

The doc has not yet said there is a need for meds (although some of the teachers (IMHO the bad ones) are really keen for him to start).

Any advice would be welcome....even from other parents !

thanks

Sharry

By the way, he is not badly behaved...just gets really frustrated and fidgity when he is bored.
