<p>Getting back to the overindulgent parents whose children never do wrong, and connection to ADHD rx, I have seen that connection as well, on occasion. I do not criticize ADHD rx, but I have seen children who in the old days would have been called troublemakers, and require some type of limit setting who today get their fix of ritalin or whatever, and are never called out on bad behavior. I don’t mean that they should be hit, spanked, beaten or screamed at. I do mean that their unacceptable behavior should be pointed out and if necessary punished in some acceptable way. Some of these recipients of rx seem dazed and drugged after their dosage, which really seems wrong to me. If you had met the mothers, and heard them you would know what I am talking about. Even when junior is beating on and nearly breaks his brother’s finger in someone else’s car during car pool, he is a darling and there is no word to ever be said to him. ( Maybe in private she whacks him, who knows.) As for those who benefit from rx which helps the patient, I would not criticize that.</p>
