Not only a child at home, but one with ADHD as well

My 4 yr old son has ADHD primarily inattentive type. He is not on meds at this time. Learning about this and a learning disability was one of the big reasons I decided to work from home and leave the workforce. Having children around while trying to work home is hard enough, but having one with ADHD is an extra challenge. Any advice?

My sister also has a young boy with ADHD. ADHD in a child can be quite the trial for parents and others within the child’s environment, especially if it’s extreme. I’d think twice about putting a child on medication, but Ritalin does seem to help in calming and in attaining a significant level of focus.

My child showed very little difference when on medications.
