As a parent, it can be tough to decide whether or not to medicate your child for ADHD. But how can you be sure it's the right call?

This week on our school behaviour secrets podcast, we sit down with developmental paediatrician and author of 'ADHD Medication: Does It Work And Is It Safe', Dr Walt Karniski. He walks us through some key questions to ask before making a decision, as well as the potential long-term effects of medication.
