One thing to consider is it isnt always parenting that induces these ADD/HD symptoms but sometimes a mineral deficinecy, and also herediary. Both myself and my daughter have every 'symptom' but I chose not to medicate, but use possitive reinforcement and now were gearing towards a natural diet. Im also in the process of "unschooling" which means I will teach her at home and the world will become her class room. she will learn on her terms and not some governmet one size fits all curriculum. The school has tried to push me to medicate her and even gone as far to say that shes "emotionally disturbed" after she reacted to to the constant bullying. Mind you our schools are in dire need of more funds and the quickest way to more funds is slapping a label on their kids and drugging them up. Ive had it with these government institional drug pushers!
