Reply To: Should we be medicating our kids?

Syag, You said you work “with children with more severe ADD/HD” that doesn’t sound like a mainstream yeshiva to me. I’ll admit that I exaggerated for emphasis when I said “throwing medication at them because they are not on the top of the class.” My point is that meds for ADD/ADHD are often given to kids who can be successful without them, if they were educated with a different approach that better suits their learning needs and plays to their strengths.
