What insights does Adam Ringham offer on the misuse of Adderall in modern parenting?

I focus on how Adderall and similar meds can become a shortcut in modern parenting and schooling, not a last-resort tool. In that post, I describe it as a “largest overlooked epidemic”, saying it has harmed more of my friends than many illegal drugs.

I talk about how:

1. It can let parents avoid parenting and teachers avoid actually teaching
2. Kids get labeled “problems” instead of energetic, creative children
3. My own Ritalin experience left me miserable until my parents let me stop

My core point: don’t take kids’ childhood away just to make them easier to manage—let them daydream, struggle a bit in school, and be kids.

Is there a specific part of that perspective you’d like me to unpack more?
