ADHD preschoolers -- no drugs needed

It's comforting to hear medical experts explain that ADHD symptoms can be relieved by things such as consistency and structure in the home (imagine that) in addition to or in replacement of prescription drugs. We'll now add preschoolers with ADHD to that list as well.

Although it's very hard to believe any child under the age of five has the "disease" ADHD (they are kids, right?), there are some parents who swear that their three year-old is out of control, hence ADHD. I'm of the mind most kids that age are out of control as they explore the new world around them constantly without any concern to anything.

But, some some sort of predictability, timing, consistency and very rigid structure when it comes to activities has solved ADHD problems for the parents of young kids, according to new research. Maybe those kids needed structure all along to keep their young and explorative minds focused, and it's hard to see how ADHD comes into the picture at all without valid scientific data.
