Question
Is a child’s attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder related to their parents’ teaching methods?

In addition, factors such as the mother’s smoking and drug use during pregnancy, genetic factors, and social, family, and psychological disturbances, such as adverse social environment or family conditions (family breakdown, economic difficulties, housing overcrowding, poor parental character, drug use, substance abuse, mental illness, etc.), can also be causes of the disease and affect the disease process and prognosis.
