You likely can’t find common items such as antibiotics on a store shelf in China either. Kids are expendable there. The offical government policy is they have too many. I’d be the first too say ADD ADHD is grossly mis-diagnosed and Ritalin over prescribed. But I have enough real life self experience to understand there is an actual medical problem out there behind a lot of this.
I agree that the drugs can be used to mask deeper family and parenting problems. My only point is that parents who choose NOT to listen to Dr. Spock don’t need the drugs.
