Children and ADD or ADHD

this issue is quite common nowadays and much has been said about children who are suffering from this condition. however, to be honest with you, this is not a clear cut issue for me until now. during our time, these types of children were just simply labeled as too energetic or children whose attention are difficult to contain. teachers, parents and students then had always been very patient with everyone else. thus, there were no problems recognized akin to this kind of attitude in kids. nowadays, people tend to label someone abnormal even by the slightest deviation from what is recognized to be normal behavior.
