The first thing I would ask someone who thinks a child has ADHD and/or would like to medicate the child is, "Is it a problem for the child, or mostly for someone else?" If a child is having difficulties learning, developing, enjoying life, etc., then I am in favor of treating those problems. When an adult is frustrated with keeping up with the child's energy level or providing enough activity to keep the child interested and engaged, it is more likely an environment not well suited to the child's needs (when the problem is occurring - not saying that anyone is doing anything wrong, but that maybe some activities or lack thereof might not be optimal and could be revisited.)
