Essay / Research Paper Abstract
4 pages in length. Homework. Extended class time. Shorter recess. Staying still in seats. Too much quiet time. Chores at home. Overstimulating media. It is no wonder today's children are routinely being misdiagnosed with ADD and ADHD when the only problem they have is the behavior forced upon them by parents, teachers and society in general. With today's push toward higher education at an earlier age (some mothers start teaching the fetus in the womb); the highly stimulating effect of contemporary movies, television programs and advertising; and the rush of family life, kids are no longer allowed to just be kids. Adapting to such a frenetic lifestyle has made it more and more difficult for children to harness their natural born energy without proper release, ultimately causing them to 'act out.' Add in the overabundance of refined sugar, and the child cannot help but jump out of his skin. Parents and teachers fail to realize how children are compelled to live within socially mandated confines wholly unsuited for their young and active beings; today's unnatural focus on the coupling of overstimulation and incapacity to let off steam is the reason why children are being misdiagnosed with ADD and ADHD. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

realize how children are compelled to live within socially mandated confines wholly unsuited for their young and active beings; todays unnatural focus on the coupling of overstimulation and incapacity to
let off steam is the reason why children are being misdiagnosed with ADD and ADHD. "In early elementary education you have 22-28 little learners in a class. Well
half or so are girls and they are ready to sit and cooperate for the most part at this age. The little demon boys however are not ready.
They want to talk, stand, or even run at the most unappropriate times. Education is important. The class cannot be disrupted...Take recess away from the little ones and
then see them squirm in their seats. Got important things to learn so no time for recess either" (Anonymous, 2006). Society has the tendency to speed up the
