Did You Cause Your Child’s ADHD? What the Science Says
Chasing a cause that doesn’t exist has real costs. It can delay treatment while you experiment with diets or discipline that were never going to fix the underlying wiring. It feeds a shame that drains the energy you need for the road ahead. And it shapes your home: a child who has already absorbed years of being called lazy or difficult now watches a parent model self-blame. Knowing what the evidence says replaces a private, circular guilt with something far more useful — accurate ground to stand on.
