if the Dr doesn't think meds are good then they are not good. why cant you just accept the fact that he is a 4 yr old? i mean gee wizz back 20 some odd years ago u didn't hear of a 4 yr old with adhd u heard of a hyper 4 yr old and that was it. trying to label him and put him on meds isn't a path you should go down. have u ever tried to have a routine with him? calm him down when he was young and could learn how not to throw things when he is mad. u need to have supernanny come to your house.

Look in your area for someone who has training in neurofeedback. They can do do some types of therpy with him to help him learn how to change his brain waves which is one of the main causes of ADHD. They will use a special type of video game that he will control by learning how to change his bran waves from a theta state to an alpha state. Also get some behavior modification therapy too. The earlier you start about this the better chances he will have when school time starts.
Good luck

You need to take control of the matter ...consistency is the key factor take his bad behavior and make it into good prevent him from fits spanking will not do it, consequences , taking away privileges or fav. toy
Watch his sugar intake caffeine would react opposite but not near bedtime , it will still keep him awake but just doesn't make him more hyper reversed effect
