I’ve been working with parents and students for 15 years, and for what it’s worth, it will get easier.I have found that every child is different, and there will be a lot of trial and error, good days and bad, good weeks and bad weeks. In time, you and your child will develop strategies that make it easier for you to manage. Personally, I would try everything and use the strategies that have been researched, and then if I’ve exhausted all of those avenues I would explore medications. I’ve seen both work. At the end, it’s a personal decision and only a parent knows what’s best for their child.
