My Grandson Is Now 6yrs Old, But His Mother Put

My grandson is now 6yrs old, but his mother put him on Concerta ER 36mg, Intuniv ER 2mg, and Clonidine HCL 0.1. He started this medicine when he was 3. The more I keep reading on the Concerta, it can cause a problem with his growth and can effect him in adult hood. She never had him tested, his pediatrician put him on all of this. I am very concerned for his health. Now mind you she is my ex daughter in law. So I don't have any control over this. I would just like something that I can show her on what these drugs are doing to him. She just can't handle him for him just being a normal boy.
