ADHD Treatment

A family recently found out that their 8-year-old has ADHD and they are trying to decide which treatment course they should choose. Based on your readings and research, do you think parents should use medication to treat ADHD? Why or why not? Using the textbook and at least one peer-reviewed scholarly journal article expand on your reasoning and explain the implications of either decision for children, families, schools/classroom, and society. What treatment would you recommend and why? Finally, explain a biblical rationale for or against use of medications using scripture and biblical principles. In doing this, do not simply add a scripture to your discussion, instead, fully explain the application of biblical scripture to the topic of medication and children. Note: All research articles must be obtained from professional, scholarly, peer-reviewed journals (i.e., cannot be “pop” articles, websites or books).
