With the pressure to educate our children at younger ages, we do not allow them all the time they need to "be kids". They need an oportunity to run around the playground but we are pushing more education at a younger age. We will over diagnose cases of ADHD because we are making them sit still too long.

We also have a higher incidence of ADHD/ADD due to divorce, working Moms, video games, internet, and a host of other reasons.

First part I can buy but the second part no way. When I was a kid a lack of attention resulted in a whack on my head or bottom by either Mom, Dad or the teacher. Attention returned immediately and remained for a long time, with no drugs needed.
