My son was hyper in his earlier elementary days.
Medication, counselors, a week in Brentwood, numerous doctors, blah blah blah.
I finally had enough and at the risk of a divorce I told my wife I got this and told everyone else to butt out. Her family and mine were furious at me but guess what a year later he has gone from C's and D's to the honor roll and no more bouncing off the walls.
I just used the persuasion of belt to arse, working in the hot sun, hunting, fishing, showing him where he was headed if he continued. Plus he just grew up and matured.

Exactly. Discipline is different for different students. Boys need different discipline than girls. Time outs don't always work for boys. Additionally, it is a well-known and understood fact that boys mature at a later stage in life than girls. This is particularly true in an era when girls are given birth control at younger and younger ages. Girls are coming of age at a younger age than they have in the relatively recent past (there are many suspected villains causing this, including the lack of giving infants breast milk, which I find dubious).
But regardless, men mature more slowly, they require different discipline, and they need different praise and reinforcement.
As a father, you probably just saved yourself from having a 30 year old deadbeat living in your basement 20 years from now.

The more I read on it, the more I'm convinced that the over-diagnosis of ADHD is a result of our emasculating school culture.
