Yes, please check out diet, herbs, focussing strategies and other strategies before trying meds.
Teachers bullied me into meds for my children.
By High School, neither of the two were taking them and things were fine.
they learned strategies to help them stay on task and one had to learn strategies to deal with the extra energy.
Diet is hard because you always have other parents and family who don't understand and think that you are depriving the child when you restrict them.
They don't understand the importance and can damage your progress.
Still others have said it best.
Good luck.
Lists do help.
Lists and proper  expectations.
