The Myth of the A.D.D. Child

Dr. Thomas Armstrong challenges the prevailing notion of Attention Deficit Disorder, arguing that it may not be a true medical condition. He suggests that behaviors often classified as ADD stem from a child's response to various social, emotional, and educational factors. Instead of relying on medication and behavior-modification, he advocates for addressing the underlying issues to foster genuine improvement in children's lives. His provocative stance aims to shift the conversation around ADD and promote a more holistic understanding of children's behavior.
