Best Advice I've ever heard regarding the need for Ritalin.
Perform this test. Set your son/daughter down in front of the TV with a video game (whatever the new ones are) and tell him he/she can play on it as much as he/she wants.
If he is still there playing the same game in two hours, he doesn't need Ritalin.
Look, you don't need to have people to tell you what to do. What kind of incentives did you get from your parents to follow the "straight and narrow" when you were a boy.
People nowadays are always looking for someone else's opinions and discussing it over and over.
What usually turns out to be the best action is that your first inclination of what to do is the best.
Hope this helps..
