Of all the public perceptions and misunderstandings about ADHD causes the belief that parents are responsible for their children’s poor behavior is the most difficult to dispel. Parenting characteristics (e.g. being too critical) home environment lifestyles and even pre-natal problems are said to exacerbate symptoms or place a child at high risk for developing ADHD. Let us examine this myth by discerning the facts from fiction.
Fact: There is a genetic basis for ADHD
Yes parents are responsible for their child’s ADHD but only indirectly! There is a lot of research that shows the relationship between genetics and ADHD; in fact most medical doctors believe that genetics is the sole cause of the disorder. Studies show that children are more likely to develop ADHD if one or both parents also experienced the disorder. The genetic basis has been confirmed by twin studies which reveal that identical twins are more likely to share the disorder than fraternal twins even if they have been raised in different homes. There are no tests that can determine the presence of an “ADHD gene” and there is little to be done about which genes your child inherits. However you can lower the risk of ADHD by removing the environmental factors known to trigger the disorder.
Fact: Certain home environments trigger ADHD
Just because a child is genetically predisposed to ADHD does not necessarily mean that the disorder will develop. ADHD occurs only when certain factors in the environment trigger it. Among these are lifestyle habits and the child’s diet and nutrition. We have articles that discuss these environmental triggers in detail but suffice it to say that a diet of refined carbohydrates food additives and empty calories aggravates nutrient deficiencies or food intolerances an ADHD child might already have.

A lifestyle filled with sedentary activities like video games also contributes to ADHD symptoms. What helps children overcome ADHD with lasting results is not medication but a comprehensive treatment plan that includes lots of physical activity and a nutritious diet.
Fact: Exposure to cigarette smoke and alcohol during pregnancy and childbirth places the child at risk for ADHD
There are a number of studies that show how exposure to cigarette smoke and alcohol during pregnancy paves the way for ADHD and other neurological disorders. In fact simply being around secondhand smoke is enough to interfere with a child’s growing nervous system. There are many other toxins found in the home environment that can trigger ADHD such as pesticides certain cleaning chemicals lead from old paint and mercury from amalgam fillings.
Myth: ADHD is caused by poor parenting skills
his is what most people mean when they say that parents are responsible for the onset of ADHD in children. However they are seriously misinformed. Children with ADHD can come from any family from any culture and socio-economic class. The onset of ADHD is not caused by parenting style; rather it is triggered by the environmental factors mentioned above. This doesn’t mean that there is little parents can do. Your child can recover from the disorder of you are willing to make environmental changes and provide a lot of parental support and involvement.
