Daughter has adhd and just started Ritalin.
Answered 4 years ago
My daughter was diagnosed with adhd last year and on Monday we saw her paediatrician. I never liked the idea of medication but after seeing her attack her younger sister the paed recommended we try Ritalin. I’ve seen a huge improvement in her behaviour and she no longer hurts her sister. The thing is she now plays a lot in her room with her barbies and can stay in there for hours and I just wanted to know if this is what 5 year old girls are like that don’t have adhd? I’m not used to seeing her so calm and so gentle. I’m so happy she’s able to play and not hurt anyone or destroy the house but do kids that age play for that long on there own? I’m having anxiety over the fact I’ve medicated her and I don’t know if I’m over thinking. Please no judgement.

Seems too much drugs for a little kid, so he wanted to come off everything
