> Michael that's true. But it is concerning that when I was in school no one was on ADD or ADHD meds as discipline seemed to be what worked Seems like a country when I'm out and about of very young kids who have temper tantrums and get there way as discipline can result in parents being reported. A few teachers as neighbors they say the schools discipline is a no no. I feel it's sad. Football you are no means alone. There are a lot of sporadic postings from younger people than you.

Just a comment on ADHD... no harm intended...It's not just about kids with behavior problems and hyperactivity. Those are some of the diagnostic criteria for 2 of the 3 subtypes of ADHD.
There's also there inattentive type... those who have difficulty concentrating. They may or may not be hyperactive.
Hyperactive children may or may not be defiant.
There are many faces of this general disorder. I hate when people point out poor discipline and behavioral problems when speaking of ADHD, because it's a stereotypical generalization.
Plus, ADHD isn't just a childhood disorder.
