Nature, or nurture?
I think recent research points to both. The right structured environment can have a huge impact on the development of a child with ADHD. Unfortunately, most kids with ADHD have at least one parent with ADHD……
If as now seems likely, ADHD is a spectrum disorder with a significant percentage of the population having symptoms, but being above the diagnostic criteria; then it’s easier to see how parenting (the right structure) has in the past been perceived as being the critical factor in outcome.
