: My son has ADHD and the natural product that we have him on has caffine in it. I dont know if it is the caffeine or the other things in it that work.: I believe my son is mild ADHD and has been exhibiting symptoms since Kindergarten but just this year...2nd grade is there finally a teacher willing to discuss this possibility. (I understand lawsuits, etc. but I hate teachers hedging because of it. This teacher flat out "suggested" my son may have this disorder)
: : I have heard that stimulants work the opposite on children and was wondering if anyone has ever experimented with coffee on their children...made to their liking of course. Just curious before I begin looking at medication... Thanks!
I have ADD and I found caffeine icreased my nervousness,made me more stressed and gave me insomnia.I would NEVER give achild or a teenager caffein
