Dr. John Rosemond author of "New Parent Power" places most of the blame on TV..... (didn't used to be TV, and we didn't have the problem). He says the flickering lights, and fast action (of any TV show - even children's shows) contribute to ADD......

He has a lot of no-nonsense common sense when it comes to raising children! He has lots of case reports of families that got rid of the TV, and their ADD child improved greatly.

He says the flickering lights, and fast action (of any TV show - even children's shows) contribute to ADD. I think the cause of most behavior problems is simply lack of socialization with adults. If you get rid of the TV the kid is more likely to interact with the parents. That's why home-schooled kids are much more congenial.


I once saw an interview with "Marrried With Children" actress Christina Applegate and I was impressed with how mature she seemed compared with the usual Hollywood brats. Then it occurred to me. She spent almost her entire childhood with adults. Either on the TV stage or with her tutor.
