ADHD my ass. Kid needs a spanking...

McDonalds/Ultimate Diet syndrome

Tan his hide and he'll gain some respect.

I agree. It is so frustrating to hear parents making excuses for the kids bad behavior.

Parents expect schools to discipline their out of control children.

I'm one of the few % with ADD.

Stimulants make me instantly sleepy but I can focus.

Most kids need a proper ass paddlin'

I'm just about as liberal and PC a person as one can be, but inflicting minor physical punishment on your kid after verbal warning is OK in my book.

You don't even need to resort to spanking. When I was growing up in the 70s, I would get my hair pulled sharply if I misbehaved and didn't heed to verbal warnings. It certainly didn't traumatize me, but it made me think twice whether I should do what I knew was wrong. Verbal warnings first, so that the kid can't say that he/she didn't know or forgot.

ADHD is caused by processed foods. End of story.

A good seat is important when they don't listen though.

Of course, these days you'll get contacted by cops and social workers if you say out loud that any kind of physical punishment could be OK.

As a Mom, I stand and applaud OP & posting. The schools have suggested that I also drug one of my children but I refused. ADHD is a condition that some children have and it is so hard for them, because of this mass diagnosing those with the condition are at a true disadvantage. People like OP can see plain and clear what really is.

To many times I see children jerking their parents around. I am unsure, but I swear the schools are promoting some scary stuff. My oldest once threatened to call the police if I didn't do as they wanted. I have been told by my children what is allowed and what isn't. I have no clue where they get this crap. That shit was shut down real quick and I never needed to raise a hand.

Too bad there are no woodsheds anymore. When there are no consequences for bad behavior,it becomes the new norm. Anton LeVey..'Do what thou wilt...that is the whole of the law.'
Welcome to the new Amerika.

Looks like it's not ok in books of your government though.

Yep. All physical punishment of kids is illegal here (as per EU regulations and various international treaties we're bound by).

Quick someone give OP a little red and a little blue.

I agree OP.

Society is idiotic these days.

Lets choose not to hurt a physical part of the child because that's bad, but instead, lets choose to drug and alter his mind state for life, and potentially cause drug dependency..... That is sooooo much better.

An injury to a child is still an injury. Be it physical or mental.

It's just more pc to cause mental injury I guess.

ADHD is another great way to market speed :)

The first thing you notice about Speed-Speed-Speedfreak is the design - it is literally a giant Dextroampethamine capsule. The second may be the author's name, Mick Farren. As leader of The Deviants and Pink Fairies, Farren has first-hand knowledge of the subject at hand.

It is well known that Hitler was a speedfreak. But we never hear about JFK, who reportedly was addicted as well. As Farren shows, the whole post-War, New Frontier era was all about speed. Over the counter, pharmaceutical-grade amphetamines such as Benzedrine are what really what made the engine of the U.S. economy roar in those years.

Parents are actually making excuses for themselves cuz they don't know how to parent.....

Parents that drug their kids for bad behavior need to be drugged.

And then there are parents who beat their child(ren) like that FAMILY COURT JUDGE did -with a belt - and was allowed to judge again....

this world is so fucked up.

Uh. No. That's a bad idea. If the kid comes home with bruises and scratches, and these are later discovered by a school nurse, you - as a parent - are in for hell of a ride in the grinding machinery of social services.

First, they'll suspect you of beating your kid.

If you're lucky, they might finally believe that you didn't beat your kid, but you're not in the clear yet. Next, they'll give you a lot of grief for failing to protect the kid from physical harm while he/she was playing. They may even threaten to take your kid to a host family for his/her safety.

It's mad.

inflicting pain on a child is wrong, even if it's a mild pinch or raising your voice at them, it conditions the child in an adverse fashion, which is far crueler than any pain an out of control child may inflict on society, for you see, it takes a village to raise a child, so we're all responsible when a child misbehaves, a wise lady said this once and it's still true today, keep your hands off of my children, they belong to the village, now drug that punk up so i can relax and watch the tube, my shows are on

Bad parenting skills is no reason to drug your child.

Discipline is lacking with a lot of children. Actions = consequences. Oh, no it is so much easier to drug children into zombies.

I have seen children who are truly ADD. I still don't believe that they should be given meds.

They, like every other child, needs to learn to get along in this world. In the good old days if you had a hyper kid you gave them coffee or a Moutain Dew and sent them off to school.

Now people are wondering why their adult children still live at home. It's not just the economy. They raised children who don't know how to handle life.

I am not big on spanking my children, I have no problem with other people doing it. But, I would much rather my child be afraid that their butt is going to be hurt than run out in the road and possibly get hit by a car.

For discipline I tend to make my children put their nose on the wall or clean up dog poop.

BTW, I have a child who does benifit from caffeine from time to time. He is not as skinny as a rail. He has no withdrawls or caffeine headache because he doesn't get it on a daily basis.

Agree with you, OP. Old-fashioned discipline is what the kid needs. BTW, they've gone beyond adhd and now have a new one: Child Aggressive Disorder for those little darlings that have no respect for the adults in their lives.

Whatever the problem, the solution is to drug the kids. It's all some kind of "disease" or "disorder." The kids need consequences and boundaries pure and simple.

we are raising another generation of narcissistic psychopaths.

I have two boys, hyper little buggers, but no way would I ever think of giving them drugs to alter their behavior, you are correct op, sports and parental supervision are key to hyperactivity in children, plus diet is key.

That's not true. My child is borderline ADHD and we don't eat fast food.

While I do think ADHD has nutritional components, I also think there is something social to it.
