ADHD is a real issue and it manifests outside of classroom as often as not. I am sure you mean well but this is equivalent to suggesting lighten up to someone with depression
This isn't "lighten up," it's "don't give psychoactive medications to very young kids to make them more manageable." As someone who's been diagnosed with and, in the past, medicated for ADHD: I'm sure you meant well, but you're missing the mark in a big way.
