My kid 6 years old used Ritalin for 1 year then we started to see the sides effects Depression 🫥

Always tired 😫

Tick in his face

Then we decided to stop his doctor recommended another medication with less sides effects but que don't want anymore do this with our kid . Now he is doing OT and dance classes is helping him .

We are happy he is now a active kid with his caracteristicas .

What are you giving him now?

I'm happy you have him in an activity that uses some of that energy, allows creativity and builds self-esteem!
