At early ages, environmental factors that influence the inattention and lack of self control associated with ADHD may include certain parenting and teaching techniques, according to another study published in the same month in Developmental Psychology. The study found that self-control and maturity levels were affected by family life and filtered into the classroom setting.

I agree with that part. From what I've seen the worst behaving kids go along with the least attentive parents.

This study is the older version of the basis for treatment; the new here is a discovery that the whole protocol ought to be reconsidered if there is any chance at all that we may have been drugging our children for no “cure” but only to better satisfy those who deman immediate change.

If the kids will outgrow this, allow it.
