I’m going to be real here. I don’t think it has to do with ADHD. I think it has to do with tablet use.

Parents today hand their children tablets when they’re babies, I have seen a literal baby in a back carrier with a phone. Then they wonder why their child doesn’t have an attention span and can’t focus and can’t learn and can’t self regulate. Obviously children whose parents emphasize outdoor play or play in general more than tablet or screen time have children who are better behaved. Duh.

Don’t say “but my child needs the tablet to self regulate”. Only because that’s what you taught them to do. That’s the only reason.

not just tablet use either but the whole way media and society has changed. Everyone's attention span (including mine) is so ruined now, 20 years ago we probably would all have been diagnosed with ADHD.
