Interesting Info about ADHD

I found articles below to be interesting...not that I am going to run out and begin doing this. Yet, I have noticed that when my children have caffeine, it doesn't now make them hyper, and DOES seem to calm them down.

I was trying to find another article on this that I had recently read, that talks about giving a kid with ADHD a coke or a cup of something with caffeine in the morning; how it actually will help them with focus.  

I'm not an advocate of doing this.  Yet, when our children have a coke in the morning, I can see them begin to focus a lot better.  It all makes sense now, especially since I have learned that ADHD patients are often times treated with stimulants.  

Here are a couple of links on this:
