ADHD Long Term Safety

By

ADHD medications have had questionable long term safety tests. Each drug was tested on an average of 75 patients before getting FDA approval. The average length of each trial was only 4 weeks. These medications are prescribed to children for years and not weeks. Therefore one can conclude that the drug approval process for ADHD medications as far as long term safety was concerned was severely lacking. Long term safety was in fact not officially determined at the time they were initially deemed safe.

Come back tomorrow for safe ADHD treatment with great long term results.

ADHD Drug Safety

By

According to a Boston’s Children’s Hospital study, there were 32 clinical trials testing 20 different ADHD drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. They found that only 5 out of the 32 trials or about 16% were focused on drug safety!

Tomorrow the truth will be revealed on ADHD drug studies.

Bad Report Card? What To Do #9: Don’t Punish

Some students are deathly afraid of punishment for poor report card performance. They can obsess over getting high test scores instead of actually learning the material. Even if your child does not perform as well as you would like on a report card, still try to keep the tone positive. Boost their confidence by offering encouraging words. Show some understanding and let them know that you believe in them. This may lower their stress and allow for better grades.

Bad Report Card? What To Do #8: Ask Questions

Sometimes a student tries their best but still receives a poor grade on their report card. Some questions to ask are:

Is the class too large for your student to get the individualized attention they may require?

Could the time of day of the class have an effect on your student? (For example: early morning, before lunch, or after gym)

Bad Report Card? What To Do #7: Put In Perspective

As a parent it is human nature to say, “The grades on last year’s report card were higher. This year’s report card is lower so there must be a problem with my child.” This rationale is not always accurate. Lower grades could be a sign of a major academic adjustment where students can learn to adapt to over time. This is a new school year and the challenges have become greater than last year. The concepts, expectations and demands have increased. Also your student has different teachers with different methods and expectations.

Bad Report Card? What To Do #6: Don’t Wait

Some skills taught previously are like a foundation that the rest of the school year is built upon. Often teachers assume certain math, writing, or reading skills already covered are known and move forward. If those skills are not learned, some students may get buried. Getting extra help or a tutor may be able to catch up your student before they fall even further behind.
