I do think there is probably

I do think there is probably a lot of unnecessary medicating of kids going on in the world for ADD.

It is important to have consistent one-on-one time with our kids and diet is critical as well. Some people are just lazy and don't want to put in the time or effort of raising their children.

I come from a family where the condition is very real. I didn't know I had it until I experienced it in my own son. It can be extremely frustrating!

We have to put a lot of effort into concentrating and retaining things mentally. It can be completely exhausting!

My self-esteem was greatly impacted as a child. I thought I was kind of dumb or slow...

I had my IQ tested about 5 years ago and it is well above average.

It's easy to perceive ADD as laziness in some kids.

For us true ADDer's, the medications that have been developed have been a complete god-send!!! :)
