re: my beef with adhd kids

I was just about to post that my brother in law gets them for his kids. Almost 1 g a month per kid.

Over here it's about 400 per kid. I heard a mom one time bragging about it and saying that's her "play money".

It was tongue in cheek. Not all, but I would say most true add cases are just active, advanced kids.

Then control your kid. Why can't you do this?

I can tell you that my kid is pretty advanced, and she doesn't have any problems with self control.

Why can't you control your kid?

There weren't TVs, video games. An extremely active kid would have probably spent a lot of time outside playing. During this time, they learn how to do things. As they grow into adults, these kids were the active ones. They probably weren't afraid to work hard or try new ideas. I'd be willing to bet these kids grew into very productive citizens.
