Misdiagnosed and Overmedicated
Was just reading the comments on a video about a nanny who gives the child they care for medicine at naptime so he will sleep and saw a lot of people talking about how hyper their children are and how they are on medication or have been told to put them on medication. I personally believe that ADHD is the most over and misdiagnosed thing out there. Kids haven't changed. They have always been hyper little balls of energy. What has changed is our patience, self care, and idea of how children should behave. Not to mention increased screen time for children makes them restless, irritable, and can cause a lack of social skills. It really bothers me that we are told so often to medicate our children. Especially with medications that 5 years later turns out we shouldn't have been using. I'm not saying that all medication is bad or that no child needs it. There are obviously many instances that require medication. I just believe we tend to overmedicate children.
