Former Newsreader Kate Silverton Sparks Debate On ADHD Diagnosis In Children | This Morning

Newsreader-turned-child therapist Kate Silverton has caused controversy, after claiming that parents are now too quick to diagnose their children with ADHD. In her new book ‘There’s Still No Such Thing As Naughty’, the former BBC journalist states that rather than rushing into medication, parent’s should instead look at the emotional reasons behind behavioural issues, and even consider whether their children are just “play deprived”. Kate joins us live in the studio to tell us why she believes the majority of problems can be resolved by "losing the labels", and working directly with our children to understand the “real issue”.
