How To Stop Bad Behavior In A Child

If you simply pay attention to these simple details the possibility of the biggest two problems with ADD/ADHD medications are almost naturally corrected - no more frustration, no more fear of adverse effects.

Atomoxetine (Strattera) is neither a stimulant nor an antidepressant. It alleviates inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms of ADHD by affecting specific aspects of the norepinephrine system. Atomoxetine has been tested on more than 1,600 children, adolescents and adults. It is a prescription medication, but it is not a controlled substance like a stimulant. This allows medical professionals to give samples and to place refills on the prescriptions. It does not start working as quickly as the stimulants do. Reports suggest that the full effects are often not seen until the person has been taking atomoxetine regularly for 3 or 4 weeks.

I know of schools which have changed their lunch menu and the teachers are much happier than before because behavior problems decrease and I can assure you it is not because the kids are asleep.
