Does he go to public school? This is a very big factor because the teachers, often female, want little boys to act like like little braindead drones in class.

My wife's best friend has a 9 yearold who is very very hyper. He is homeschooled by the way. He is extremely skinny yet very strong for his size. Neither his mouth nor his body ever stop and he will say rude and goofy things though he is very bright. His mom will smack him all the time and the poor kid can't control his behavior or his mouth. She finally decided to medicate him, as little as possible. The difference was amazing and he was able to sit and learn and interact. This is an extreme case, most cases don't need the drugs.

I know for a fact this is an issue in our school district. Perhaps you might try a Catholic school. It seems counterintuitive since they have much stricter codes of conduct, but I know our area parishes' schools take some of these boys in.

Catholic schools (in my area anyway) have different expectations of the boys and girls. Political correctness, not God, has definitely given some boys in public schools the label ADD.
