[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to get flamed for this, but here goes...some of the most misbehaved children I know are diagnosed with ADHD.  Interestingly enough, their parents are the most ineffective, passive and permissive adults.

I've yet to meet a child with ADHD who's raised in a strict but loving, disciplined household with firm limits, consistent boundaries, a set schedule and a healthy dose of the word n and benign neglect as needed.  We're raising self-centered, entitled brats.

Go ahead, tell me that you are raising your child this way and he/she is gifted, healthy, quirky, etc. but despite your loving interventions...

We've gotten so afraid of blaming Mother or accusing the parents of neglect that experts tend to gloss over or claim the home environment is relevant.[/quote]

I am the previous PP that is so glad my DS got the official ADHD diagnosis and is on medication.  I am not going to flame or shame you because there are some kids and parents that fall into the category you describe but please know there are legitimate cases as well.  My DS, post meds, is well behaved at school and making good grades.  Like I said, I have no regrets.  My DH and I are also great parents and love our child and did not want to see him suffer.  But, PP, you do legitimately describe some parents.  I see them at DS' school and wish they would get some professional help.[/quote]
