[QUOTE="Malika, post: 425055, member: 11227"] Yes, I do agree, Sharon - different solutions for different children (by the way I do prefer the term "challenging" to "difficult"!) The key is what works, I feel - and that only those on the ground are truly in a position to tell. I'd like to cut out sugar from my son's diet just to see the effect, if any, but alas it's not really feasible, given all the social constraints that would impose. Incidentally, he doesn't take any medications. He's only four and no one has ever suggested it. As I say in my signature, I would like to avoid medications if I can. I think the key will be to see what happens when he starts school proper, at age six, how he deals with it... I'm afraid I've been very put off Ritalin because of the side effects. I have never had any problems getting my son to sleep - that is not a battle I want to start! Also he is quite anxious already; I do not want this to increase. The decision to take medications or not is also a very personal one and I don't feel that anyone should be pressured into taking medications or assume that they are a sine qua non... [/QUOTE]
