Brain chemistry is interesting. It may not matter what comes first "the chicken" or "the egg". The fact is that it is hard to know if destructive behavior starts the brain imbalance or the brain imbalance starts the destructive behavior. All that one needs sometimes is to break the cycle which is why chemistry is more effective than therapy. I think it is interesting about X's observations with Kid Zone and this plays right into this theme.

I find that many of the kids my our children want to play with are unruly, disrespectful, arrogant, precocious and have a variety of other social conditions that were much rarer when I was a child. I've heard kids say things to adults that NOBODY in my neighborhood would have said to an adult.

I think it may be a bit of the "Lord of the Flies" going on here. They are largely unsupervised and when their overstressed parents get home, they don't want to spend the few hours they do have with them in confrontation. JMO and just a theory.
