He is still very young. 3-4 is a common time for potty training for kids and he isn't even 3. I am not sure I understand the second part - is he using a bottle now to go to sleep? I took my daughter at 2 1/2 to the dentist, the dentist made it clear that no milk after teeth brushing, it stopped all arguments for us. [ Reply | More

Started ds on meds when he was 7. It was a lot of trial & error. Stimulant meds (Ritalin, Adderall, Focalin, etc.) worked well for attention problems, but the side effects were too cumbersome (agitation, anxiety). We finally tried a low dose of Strattera (which is not a stimulant) and it works very well. [ Reply | More
