ADHD behaviors as seen in children seem to have very little meaning.

ADHD Diagnoses

An ADHD diagnosis seems to be arbitrary. Two published studies seem to say something is wrong with the way ADHD is diagnosed in young children. In the U.S. nearly one million kids may be misdiagnosed just because they are the youngest in their kindergarten class. The youngest in the class is twice as likely to be on stimulant medication.

What was found the youngest children were much more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and be prescribed behavior modifying stimulants such as Ritalin.

Could it be the teacher was just having a bad hair day, and had no patience for an unruly 5 year old?  Since this is such a subjective diagnosis this can be a factor.

Hyperactivity

Hyperactivity in a five year old seems normal to a sedentary adult. This is a perception, not always a reality. It is estimated that the misdiagnosis rate is about 1 in 5, and that 900,000 of the 4.5 million children currently diagnosed with ADHD have been misdiagnosed.

Wow, 4.5 million children diagnosed with ADHD is correct. I don’t buy it. With our diet, and vaccine schedule it is possible that we have fostered a nation of unruly children. This number doesn’t add up. 

Attention Deficit Disorder

Attention deficit disorder is a relatively new term. It use to be called rambunctious, acting out, class clown, energetic, and irascible behavior. With a profit center build around Ritalin, a new term is just what the drug companies ordered.

Creating  Healthy Children

Creating healthy children makes life simple. It is a challenge to raise content, healthy, and happy children. All parents are optimistic about that prospect, until they stall. It is a tough job that begins in the home and then is shared by the schools.

The values we teach our children must include solid nutritional principles. This is both informational and transformative, and will guide your child in the future.

You can provide them with a disease-free future.

Their emotional state will also depend on their nutritional status. How many parents are tearing out their hair trying to get their children to behave? Most don’t realize that their child’s nutritional status affects their behavior.

New Developments

The new developments in the last few decades, has presented a challenge to America. We live in a world of faux food that offer sensory pleasures. Biologically most of the innovative food supply doesn’t support our tissues, organs, or glands.

There isn’t a hands on experience when preparing any of the packaged foods. Of course, if you considering opening a package and eating the contents a culinary experience than you are nutritionally challenged and health deprived. 

Great taste and great health aren’t a formulation away. Yet, our children recognize a cereal box before they know the names of fruits and vegetables.

Their future will change dramatically, when they recognize, understand, and know how to prepare what will appear on their dinner plate. Thanks, to the Chefsters team, this can be in their future.
