Age group(s) for which this technique is helpful: Preschool and Younger Elementary School Middle School High School & Beyond
Primarily used to improve behavior: Both At Home and At School
Instructions for using this technique:
A medication called Adderall was introduced into our lives, and it changed them forever. My child takes half the dose of Ritalin and her Doctor has added a night-time medication called Clonadine. This helps her to sleep. Her appetite has improved greatly and no more restless nights. She wakes up happy and refreshed because she can relax.
Other information parents should consider before using this technique:
Always have your child diagnosed and supervised by a licensed psychiatrist. Some meds are not for all kids.
