I've been watching this 10 yo kid for a while, and his parents say I'm really good with him and they haven't given him his ADHD meds at all when I've been watching him. The thing is; the kid is normal. I haven't seen any sign of him being hyperactive or struggle with attention despite not being on meds. He's an awesome kid, smart attentive and patient (for a 10 yo anyway).

Now, the dad has some issues. I know from the older kids that he gives physical punishment, and he gives off an intimidating feel in general. I'm worried that the kid I'm watching is reacting to that rather than having ADHD.

How can I check for this, and in case it's the dad, how should I approach it?

So you are a babysitter turned social worker/psychologist and able to diagnose? Why not just cut through all the crap and get a lynch mob after him

Tell the kid to sneak the pills. He's gonna be so thankful for that prescription in high school/university.

I mean, you're right in that ADHD is an overdiagnosed, overmedicated "symptom" being treated as a cause....those parents bought right into it. You should talk to the mom about it, if you are a woman.

Know a mother fought the recommendation of the school to put her youngest child on ADHD meds after she had rolled over previous and the older boy was already on them for several years. Threatened her with all kinds of shit but she saw what the med did to her kid and refused to let it happen to the younger. She just had to spend more time with the kid doing homework and guess what? He settled down. The ADHD meds don't fix a problem just hides it so parents can go on about their life. In OP's situation the parents still aren't engaged because they have the resources to hire a babysitter.
