Your neighbor tells you her 6-year-old son has ADHD, combined presentation, and he’s being rejected by peers. She’s considering putting him on medication, in part to improve his peer relationships. What does the research have to say about this?
What will be an ideal response?
Stimulant medication has been shown to be useful in decreasing hyperactive, impulsive, and disruptive behaviors that might be driving away peers. On the other hand, medication alone does not improve children’s social skills or positive interactions (or teach them strategies how to do these things). Children who already have negative reputations at school can find it difficult to gain the acceptance of peers.
