As it turned out our former neighbor's boy has ADHD and even failed the first grade (how do you fail the first grade??). Not sure about their daughter, but they both fought a lot as siblings do. The parents were in denial at first, I think. Most kids are loud IF they are allowed to get away with being loud. I really notice this in restaurants especially. Yet I know families who have beautifully-behaved children who are NOT noisy or disruptive. It's all how they are raised from the start. The case I speak of is quite sad actually. Nice family, but a bit misguided.
