I have ever only known one person who would really qualify for that title
I feel 95% of cases are excuses for undisciplined, directionless youthful energy
Another liberal cover up
Answer:
I would say so
Answer:
um no it does not mean that…who ever told you that isn't very respecting…
Answer:
Yeah My Bro Got It. And That Is Just What He Needs.
Thanks For The Help. =]
Answer:
no its not!! it means you can't control something,and you need medication for it,thank you!
Answer:
no.
Answer:
No, it's just an excuse for parents to medicate their hyper kids, and not have to calm them down themselves all the time. It's also an excuse for people who don't have any kind of attention or hyperactivity disorder to say that they do, and then get on drugs that they use like speed.
Answer:
In some cases it is yes, though if ever you get to spend time with someone that actually does have ADHD, it ain't fun! At least, not if you are the parents.
ADHD is a pretty broad definition for what could also be things like bi-polar, so it's a bit of a difficult thing to pin down accurately.
Answer:
YOU need a damn good slap. It is a recognised pyschiatric condition. You are highllighting the fact that people are prejudiced and ignorant when it comes to pyschiatric disorders. Don't try to talk about what you don't understand.
Answer:
yea i reckon so…
i hate it when people say "my kids have adhd, so i cant disapline them like i can my other children" what aload of cobblers. i have 2 cousins who had it when they were young, and they got disaplined just like their other siblings who had it, and they're fine..
its all a cop-out for people who cant be bothered with their children, and prefer a peaceful life by letting their kids run riot..
if u cant look after u kids, praise them when good, disapline them when bad, then dont have any at all!
Answer:
you need a kick up the ****
Answer:
yes…in most cases due old eggs being fertilised and kids having had too much mothering…as well as needing a good slap…
Answer:
Definately, and it includes the parents too.
Answer:
ADHD is a crock of shite.
Answer:
NO ITS A MEDICAL CONDITION AND THE CHILD NEEDS HELP NOT SLAPPING.I HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE A CHILD WHO HAS IT.I KNOW 2 CHILDREN WHO HAVE IT AND THERE VERY SWEET 90% OF THE TIME.
Answer:
sometimes.. depends on the kid..
although i know this is a real medical condition..
and some kids really do need extra help..
i think a lot of kids just need to be disciplined or else they are going to grow up saying i have adhd so i can do whatever i want cause i cant be still and learn..
and some kids are just brats..
children with problems a lot of times can and should be treated as normal kids when possible.. which included discipline..so they grow up to be more normal..
adhd is not an excuse for everything..
Answer:
Regrettably ADHD (previously known as hyperactivity) is often used as an excuse for plain and simple bad behaviour.
having said that it is a medical condition - my youngest was hyperactive but we found the cause (food allergies) and dealt with it. We never used his condition as an excuse for bad behaviour.
Answer:
adhd diagnosis has many causes it can stem from
more often than not, how the children are raised, i.e, LEARNED behaviour. Has anyone noticed say, a person you know does cocaine? Have you noticed that if they are zipping and zagging, house is a mess, they begin one thing and end up doing something else, but nothing is really getting done? The person speaks beginning with A and ending up with Z and nothing inbetween makes sense?
THE CHILDREN LEARN THIS BEHAVIOUR. (of course cocaine resides EVERYWHERE in the home over the course of abuse. Not only do children breathe the particles of cocaine, but are subject to all the whooplah!
Now, we can then view a parental situation where one parent is very strict, the other is not. The one parent often goes behind the back of the other parent and the child is learning the see-saw pattern and what makes getting their way work.
LEARNED BEHAVIOUR.
We then see two parents that agree to parenting in efficient ways, taking care of the issue with the correct punishment. (corporal included!). It is COMEPLETLY OKAY to spank your child if you do so WHEN NOT ANGRY!!!! For the most part they try to talk to their child, give that child a choice to do the right or wrong thing with the understanding that everything has consiquences. As the child grows up, they tend to be more level headed, polite and often quite astonishing in speech and communication. Not all children can learn this as fast as others, so often a child who is not obviously mature enough will have teachers "concerned" about the possibility that the child may need medication- that is BALONY.
We have parents on pills, parents who can't tolerate stress, parent's who do not get along….we have parent's who are OBLIVIOUS to stringing their children out on drugs….and YES medications like ADDERALL and I know MORE ADULT children now ABUSING other things like alcohol and taking pain medications and sleep aids because ADDERALL has changed their BRAIN CHEMISTRY. They are ADDICTED. Furthmore, if the parents don't change their ways, the child will NEVER LEARN a thing. Take away the pills when they are older and they have MORE problems. The medication theory set by psychiatric doctors is a COVER UP!!!!
FOLKS, if you send the WRONG information and the WRONG picture to a child what to you think will happen??????
While we are at it, BRING CORPORAL PUNISHMENT BACK TO OUR SCHOOLS or AT LEAST LET THE PARENT DECIDE HOW TO HANDLE THEIR OWN CHILD.
I believe in the power of the paddle! (or belt)
Answer:
Well if it IS a real medical condition I fail to see where it came from. Wasn't around while I was growing up or when I had my children.
No doubt there are some poor children with behaviour problems,but IMO there are also a lot that are lacking any form parental control
Answer:

Answer:
Obviously you have neither children nor a spouse with ADHD. Spend a week or two with 'em and you would regret this question.

Answer:
there is dispute about this, maybe in some cases, that is so, a firm mangment is always called for, however, ther are cases that react to amphetamins (ritalin) within days.
these are the genuin cases, the others are just nasty prats.
whether a good slap helps today, as kids are doing as they please, I don't know.
if anybody is interested, I held a lecture about this at UNI,
if required, mail me and I will send a copy
Answer:
No! No! That would be NAGS Disorder! I know that it's easy to get the two confused since the symptoms are so similar. The difference is that NAGS children also tend to have large black and blue birthmarks and grow up to be abusive parents!
