I've worked with a lot of
kids as a coach and as BSA ASM (assistant scout master) and I think a
lot of times its just an easy way to sedate the kids when parents or
teachers don't have the time for them. Some kids have a lot of energy.

ADD/ADHD is easy to spot in a kid over time. I'm not sure it's good to look
at a kid for an hour and prescribe mind-altering drugs to deal with what the
doctor thinks might be the problem, but, it doesn't take a pediatrician to
spot an abnormally hyperactive or attention deficit child.
