Does ADHD in children have anything to do with parental guidance?

Patient's question:

My nephew was born via cesarean section, and he has been healthy ever since. However, after he started kindergarten, we noticed that he always seemed restless, fidgeting around, and no matter how we tried, he couldn't control himself. It's still the same way now. I heard from others that ADHD is related to parents' education as well.
What kind of help do you need: Is there a relationship between ADHD in children and parents' education?

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons that can lead to childhood ADHD, among which parental upbringing also plays a certain role. Additionally, during pregnancy, if the mother has a history of smoking and drug use, intergenerational inheritance factors, interference from social, family, and psychological factors, such as poor social environment or family conditions (broken families, economic poverty, overcrowded housing, parents with poor personalities, drug use, addiction, mental illness, etc.), can all serve as triggers for the onset of the disease and interfere with the progression of the illness and prognosis.
