Best explanation I've heard for the ADHD epidemic:

Our kids are now amazingly stimulated by a huge variety of media from birth. They live in a world that is EXTREMELY stimulating and with constant diversions such as computers, television, music, handhelds, etc.. etc..

Then you take them and put them in a completely non-stimulating environment where a person stands in front of the class, trying to teach them "boring" stuff (in comparison to the media they're accustomed to consuming).

Then when they don't/can't pay attention, we label them with ADD/ADHD and give them drugs to help them focus.

Never really thought of it that way but it sure sounds accurate.

I wonder if kids that don't attend a preschool are more likely to have that problem.

I know a kid who didn't do a day of preschool and is excelling in his first year of grade school. He's a Kindergartner who's just a few months in and is already taking home 1st grade reading and math homework.

I'm sure we all "know a kid", but just wondering if overall there is a correlation between preschool and adhd diagnosis. I'm pretty sure there is a correlation between attending preschool and basically being a productive member of society from the studies done.

Just one quick one I found.

true, but the key in developing focus is discipline. kids don't have any because parents don't give any and this mostly due to new gov't laws.

What the hell do laws have to do with discipline?

After all, you can discipline your child w/o beating him with a switch.

Meth is fun for about 8-10 hours then you come down and it sucks or you are up for 3 days chasing a high and that isn't much better.

To be fair, you're never at your best in a mug shot. The police aren't exactly Olan Mills what with the stark, florescent lighting and unflattering camera angles. I don't think a single one of those people said cheese.

Wow...that's insane.

I like the ADD/ADHD comments. Parents are lazy and don't want to take care of their children, it's not a brain dysfunction, it's a parental dysfunction.

Working in the car business, there were several car sales people that took Adderall, due to it being like taking crack.

It is still legal to spank on the butt in Kansas, better believe if time out doesn't work, a good spanking does.

I think blaming it all on lack of discipline might be overly simplistic, but I agree that it's over diagnosed.
