4 myths about what causes ADHD?and why they?re totally wrong
So your kid has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and suddenly everyone is an expert on the reasons why. But what actually causes ADHD" (Hint: It?s NOT bad parenting)
1. ADHD is NOT caused by a child?s laziness
Kids with ADHD can face enormous challenges in school and other ?normal? situations. Even when they fail to meet expectations, they are often trying much harder than the average kid to sit still, pay attention or raise their hand before talking.
2. ADHD is NOT caused by too much sugar A proper diet can help kids regulate their ADHD, and a poor diet can make behaviour worse. But a poor diet won?t cause ADHD, and a good diet won?t make it go away.
3. ADHD is NOT caused by poor parenting
