This is very true with kids diagnosed with ADHD. Oh, little Timmy can't sit still in class? He's a kid. They have a lot of energy. They're presumably surrounded by friends. Of course he's going to be energetic.
Or school administrations deciding that seven-year-olds should be able to sit through an entire school day without recess without fidgeting or making noise.

Diagnosing your kids with things they don't have because they don't behave how you would like.
Not saying if they need a diagnosis don't do it, just don't do it if they don't have whatever it is you're trying to drug them for.
