There was an article not too long ago on FR about a study done that proved when kids are allowed a couple of hours of outdoor play a day they don’t have ADHD any more. Not sports, not directed play, just letting them run around/bike around etc.

When I was a kid there wasn’t much TV watched, I lived pretty rural and kids were mostly outside unless the weather was bad. I don’t think many kids had ADHA in those days.

Growing up in the 50s & 60s we were safer. Kids weren't forced. We had plenty of unsupervised playground time where we really learned how to live. I still own my bag of marbles, did OK despite my total indifference to learning.

In today's culture I would be juiced and brilliant. No time for day dreaming. Drugged & oblivious of what God had intended for me. Eternally indebted to Pharmacology.

Parents. Before you dope your child; consider love, diet and exercise. Children are flowers that bloom in their own time, given every opportunity. Patience and Faith will make you COURAGEOUS!
