Took my 14 year old who isn’t happy but has been taking his adhd medication for school, to his adhd check up.
The paediatrician had a ‘grown up’ chat with him and things been going well. She said to me it’s his choice now if he takes the medication or not as he is older.
This morning he woke up and said based what the Dr said, he won’t be taking the meds as we can’t make him.
24 hours ago he would not have done that.
Is 14 really an age where it’s reasonable to put the decision making into a child with ADHD??
I feel this Dr made me life so much more difficult.
