  Jane, there *is no* history of alcoholism....None...Neither of the 
  grandparents have a problem with alcohol on either side...not in my
  case...and yet, 2 of my daughter's children have AD(H)D...and in the
  rest of the grandchildren that have the problem, 5 others, there is 
  only one grandparent that has a drinking problem...and that child is
  getting the proper medical help...

 Since addiction is not a problem in my daughters case, the doctor is more
 than qualified...what she is doing has been working well on my daughters
 children.

 Thank you for this advice.
