This paper critically discusses the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which concern the increasing number of referrals. Backed by a hegemonic vision and medicalized, such pathology conquered space currently and directly affects education, it transfers to the field of health issues from the field of education. In the quest for solving the problems of indiscipline and learning moves from a political- pedagogical discussion and uses the administration of drugs known as "drugs of obedience”. Thus, this article aims to trigger a reflection on the pathologizing and medicalization of childhood but also briefly highlight some control mechanisms that have been initiated over time and their implications for the moral development of the child. For both employ this discussion peculiarities of genealogical position of Foucault and the constructivist theory of Piaget.
