The prevalence of ADHD is estimated at 5–7% worldwide, which makes it one of the most common psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. Children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can become difficult if the child is not monitored using correct strategies and techniques. Parents play an integral role in shaping a child. Parenting involves biological as well as the legal aspects and other equally if not more important dimensions of care, protection, nurturance, understanding, guidance, mutual interaction, and partnership occurring within the protective environment of a family. Parenting a differently abled child is very demanding and challenging and the role of family and parents in caring for a child is very crucial, especially development, socializing, and protecting the child.

As a first step in this process our aim was to ascertain the current level of professional consensus on certain points regarding the use of medication in attention deficit disorder. Although a high level of consensus was found in relation to indications and prescribing issues, opinion was divided on details of how the treatment should be delivered – including the role of paediatricians, and the use of psychological treatments.
