You are correct, parents do not prescribe them, but I can almost guarantee that if a parent goes to a doctor and starts rattling off "symptoms" then asks for some Ritalin for their child, that doctor is going to say yes.
Johnny can't concentrate in school? Because he's bored with it.
Johnny does not seem to listen when spoken to directly? He probably has no respect for you.
Johnny is often easily distracted? Hell, I'm 28 and often easily distracted.
Johnny often fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat? Because he is restless, throw him outside with a ball and call him back in when dinner is ready.
I know I am overgeneralizing, but these symptoms are far to vague to even be called symptoms. Which is all that drugs like Ritalin even treat in the first place.
Got a headache? Here's some Advil. Caused by a tumor? Still just a headache right? Here's some Advil.
