Study: 2.4 million kids have ADHD -

[caring mother]

Everyone except the last person needs to give their head a shake!! I am a mother of 3 boys; one of them has ADHD. If it were my poor parenting, they would all be labelled this way. ADHD is a very real disease and it is idiots like you people who make us parents feel like crap all the time and we start to think it may be our fault for the way our children act. If you think I don't discipline my children or teach them manners you are also crazy. My son with ADHD (as well as the other 2) have a heart of gold and are much more polite then many "normal" children today. You people make my blood boil.

ADHD is over-diagnosed...granted, there are people who have an extreme level of adhd, but most of it, like the 17 year-old mentioned in the article do not need these "life-saving drugs" (How many people die each year from ADHD, Moby??)
Young kids need firm boundaries, which are lacking today. Overindulgence leads to overstimulation--the kids simply have too much going on around them. And for all the bashers, I have taught for 10 years, I know what ADHD is like...to some degree we all have it.

what a bunch of crap. i have child with adhd and he has firm boundaries, he does not over indulge and is not overstimulated and does not have too much going on aroung him. You dont know what your are talking about and to some degree you dont have adhd you are just a judgemental jerk to a total degree.....
