ADD And ADHD: Caused By Society
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Homework. Extended class time. Shorter recess. Staying still in seats. Too much quiet time. Chores at home. Overstimulating media. It is no wonder today's children are routinely being misdiagnosed with ADD and ADHD when the only problem they have is the behavior forced upon them by parents, teachers and society in general. With today's push toward higher education at an earlier age (some mothers start teaching the fetus in the womb); the highly stimulating effect of contemporary movies, television programs and advertising; and the rush of family life, kids are no longer allowed to just be kids. Adapting to such a frenetic lifestyle has made it more and more difficult for children to harness their natural born energy without proper release, ultimately causing them to 'act out.' Add in the overabundance of refined sugar, and the child cannot help but jump out of his skin. Parents and teachers fail to realize how children are compelled to live within socially mandated confines wholly unsuited for their young and active beings; today's unnatural focus on the coupling of overstimulation and incapacity to let off steam is the reason why children are being misdiagnosed with ADD and ADHD.
