ADD and ADHD are diagnosis that worry me when I hear them. I do know that some school systems push for kids to be diagnosed with them. Schools receive more money for these students. So, I am leery about rushing to meds. As far as kids acting up in public. My opinion of parenting skill depends on the behaviour. For example. . . today, while shopping, an about 18 month old, was with their adult, and the adult was trying to get the kiddo interested in the book she had for him. As I was going past, the UM decided my cart looked more interesting, and toddled over to look into it. This was not a problem in my mind. Example 2: Same store, a seven to nine year old, running back and forth in front of carts by the checkstand, causing myself and others to have to stop suddenly, with no apology or even paying attention, WHILE dad ignores him and talks on his cell phone. This I find to be a problem. Anyways, just my two-cents.
