Nice to know there are still IGNORANT people in the world!!! I have two clinically diagnosed children with ADD/ADHD and one child who is NOT either. One has ADD and the other ADHD. We waited a YEAR for each before placing them on medication. I thank the Lord everyday for the wisdom of my pediatrician when we were going through the initial process. I discipline my children. I am a very strict parent in comparison to some I see around town. There is removal of privileges, restriction and sometimes spanking. Yes, I said SPANKING! It is a rare occasion but sometimes it is necessary. ADD/ADHD is a disorder not an excuse. They are not allowed to make excuses for bad behavior! When you walk a mile or two in my shoes, then you can judge me!
