i have had many people tell me my 5 year old needs to be on medication for a.d.d. and have refused it. To me he is acting just like a 5 year old should act. I think parents like to put there kids on medicine to give them an excuse to calm there children down. My kids will never be put on medication for a.d.d. or anything like that. Kids are hyper thats how there suppose to be they have alot of energy there young.
