ADHD (with inattention) trials

I forgot to mention something in my last post. I have a workbook that I'm having Bryce work out of for the summer. He has to do it before he can have any privileges like media time. Usually it takes him two to three hours to finish. Yesterday he did not have his medicine and he didn't finish until 2:00 pm. I had a very difficult time deciding whether or not to medicate him, but it became clear to me yesterday that I made the right choice. He is a really bright kid with tons of potential, but he needs his medicine to help him reach that potential. I noticed the Lord's hand in guiding me to make that difficult decision for his own good.

That's so good you KNOW to medicate him. I'm sure it would be a really hard decision to make. I love that he has to do homework during the summer. You're a good mama.

It is a hard decision. I hope it works out for both of you :)
