to think that ADHD/ADD is a load of nonsense?

[Breton1900]

Are we really producing ever more kids with these conditions or do parents simply need to take back control and realise that, at times, all kids can be obnoxious, loud, defiant, restless and fidgety and that strictly enforced rules for behaviour, lots of TLC, and the occasional smack on the bum may be the way forward?

you people make me sick you are uneducated pieces of scum

So I am scum because I have a different viewpoint to you. Excellent.

So mrscrafty do you think kids with genuine learning difficulties are ok to have statements then or are you against that aswell

Yawn at Mumi and Breton have fun talking carp. I am sure you will.

LOL @ Lady

Ha i knew that would get your attention, exactly you dont like being called scum just like my son does not like people like you telling him he does not need help

Personally unless you live with a family 24/7 you are not equipped to have a valid opinion on the children.

I know there are times when I must appear to be unconcerned about my dc's behaviour but tbh thats a way of coping. and I am sure I am not alone in that.

Yes there are children who act out for attention and then there are those who are genuinely SN.

The same as there are parents who are ignorant and those who are not.

Tiredmum no 1 no one gives a monkeys what Mrs craft thinks - she is wrong its quite simple.

maryz the "estimate" of a prison Governor is not incontrovertible proof that those prisoners had ADHD.

Has he not considered their own environmental backgrounds? Poverty, poor parenting, dysfunctional families, getting in with the wrong crowd, drugs etc. can all lead to a life of crime.

OP you seem to be lost..this may help!

Breton Are you aprison Governor do you have the statistics to hand. I think not.

Well said star!! :)

For all the other posters on this thread..this is good!!

I know wasuup,

i just cant see where they are getting this crap from.

they talk they hand out statements like leaflets.

when in fact it is the opposite
