 * During pregnancy, don't indulge in alcohol, cigarettes, or illicit drugs, or mistreat yourself or your unborn child in any other way. 2
 * Make sure that you get excellent medical care during the delivery of your baby. If there is a lack of oxygen at birth, trauma during birth, and infections acquired during delivery, ADHD/ADD can develop. 2
 * It has been proven that infants and toddlers who watch more than two hours of television a day are more like to develop ADHD/ADD than other children. 2
