Something to calm my son

My son is soon to be seen by paediatrician to sort out his behaviour and get to the bottom of things. His behaviour at home and school has gotten really bad lately and he’s only 8. Just wondering if a gp can prescribe him anything in the mean time to calm him ? Maybe something he can have before school?? Please help, I’m really struggling!!!

I read somewhere that adhd kids who are hyperactive do well with a cup of coffee in the morning, it apparently has the opposite effect on their behaviour than us. If gp can’t prescribe any meds before paed appointment, ask them about the coffee thing.

This is true, caffeine helps replace dopamine that ADHD children are missing.
