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:

• It can let parents avoid parenting and teachers avoid actually teaching
• Kids get labeled “problems” instead of energetic, creative children
• 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?
