Look into Vayarin. It is a prescription med which is basically omega3 bonded with PS that is prescribed for ADHD. It is new so doc may not have heard of it so need to look it up. That is something that the body needs anyway and has shown efficacy in double blind studies. I would stay away from stimulants at this age. Also if considering natural supplements rather than meds, there is also another one called Attend by Vaxa which is OTC which may work for some including adults.

Brightspark and Focus Formula from Native Remedies might help.
