I’VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS THAT SESAME STREET IS A CAUSE OF ADHD:   I’m a neuropsychologist — this is the age it’s OK to let kids watch TV.

Take with a grain of salt. We didn’t have a TV till the youngest was six. We were trying to stimulate good reading habits. The kids do read for fun. But– they’re both ADD. So am I. And I was raised without TV.  So…. yeah, they might be right, but a lot of this is physiological and inherited.

My family is all clearly bright, but past generations, we always had kids who “just didn’t work in school” and went to trade school or did something entrepreneurial.  It’s just now, with people having fewer kids they want all of them to do well in school. And our mandatory schooling is much later. (And more boring.) So it’s being diagnosed more.

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Minnesota’s 21-year age minimum for handgun carry permits struck down. “A federal judge on Friday struck down a Minnesota law requiring a person to be at least 21 before obtaining a permit to carry a handgun in public, finding it violated the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The order by U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez in St. Paul is the latest in a series of legal defeats for state gun control measures following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year expanding gun rights nationwide.”
