[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, you don't know what you're talking about. ADHD is not just a diagnosis for 'hyper' kids. There are kids who are "perfectly nice," and who spend their days at school distracted, unable to concentrate, etc. who are underachieving because they are unable to attend in a classroom. I don't know too many parents who would put their kids on medication to get better grades. It simply doesn't work like that.[/quote] Obviously, I know that. But I think drugs as a crutch for lack of motivation is heading down a dangerous road. Too many parents want to hear that there is a fix, which makes them more willing to accept an ADHD diagnosis. I have no doubt that someday we will all look back horrified on this era of over-medication of children. You might disagree with me based upon your experience, but I base mine on years of researching this topic.[/quote]
