There was no such thing as ADHD 20 years ago and we all grew up just fine.

But there was such a thing called "disciplining your children". Not so today...

Dittos to what you both said! We had recess in the morning, at lunchtime and in the afternoon, so we could run off any extra energy we had. That took care of any ADHD we might have had! Most days, our teacher would play games with us -- outside -- and we would go outside even in winter! The teachers and the principal also had the "board of education" to keep us in line. Oh, and we all ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch and no one ever had a peanut allergy.

And kids used to go out and play and run.

Might have something to do with it as well....
