Show iiiviwv ...u. . 1 1999-- . UINTAH BASIN STANDARD. November 16. Parental Attention Deficit Disorder, a problem PADD: I trying to help make ends meet. Dad and Mom off en are working long hours, too, because companies have to stay "lean" in order to marketplace. "Lean" is just a gussied up way of saying that fewer people do more work. So when Dad and Mom head home for the day, they are tired. And the same communications technology that allows all of us to accomplish more things more quickly also tends to intrude on family life. It's not unusual to spot people wearing pagers at a Little League game or even at church on Sunday. Other things compete for parents' time and attention, too. Parents who fail to keep a proper sense of priorities can cause a "deficit" of parental time and attention for their own children. Sometimes when kids act up, they'rejust trying desperately to get the attention they deserve from Mom and Dad. The number of widely diagnosed "disorders" among kids seems to grow like dandelions in springtime. Particularly antsy kids who would rather do almost anything but sit still in a classroom are labeled and medicated as attention deficit disorder," or ADD, cases. The worst among them get an extra acronym: ADHD, for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. And now comes news of ODD, "Oppositional Defiant Disorder," for kids who dont do what they are told or who have bad tempers. I don't mean to belittle efforts to help kids with serious problems, but with millions of children being "diagnosed" as having various "disorders" based on very loose lists of symptoms, surely something more is going on than the discovery of a child mental health epidemic. We are blessed in this country to have access to advanced medical technology and huge amounts of information.
