After going to the doctor twice, with his mother, my step son was put on Ritalin. The doctor was reluctant initially but gave in at the second visit. There was no testing done to our knowledge or other alternitive tried. However, he does have some difficulty learning in kindergarden. If anyone can give me facts on the pros or cons i would appriciate it. BTW, after taking the meds he does not eat as much and is a very different child now. Sometime he paces and acts in a nervous mannor. He behaves very well at our house. When he is here on the weekends his dad refuses to give him the medicine. Thank you in advance for your imput.
