No, really? Think about it!

Younger children in the classroom likely overdiagnosed with ADHD 
The youngest children in the classroom are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) -- and prescribed medication -- than their peers in the same grade, according to a study just published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).


Take the children out for a walk (parents and teachers)  Pay attention to them, answer their questions.  Talk to your child, not to your mobile!
