Many people are sensitive to the subject of ADHD and other newly perscribed disabilities. Many people are told their child has a problem with paying attention and maintaining control. People against such treatments are scoffed at, including the loony Tom Cruise, because it's such a delicate subject that many parents had to deeply consider.
Many times parents and doctors have long talks over the effects of the drug and the child situation. If you give one of those box drinks to a kid and tell them it'll make them stronger, they'll believe you. Not only that they'll be lifting all kinds of stuff up in the living room.
Ideally _kids_ should be given the _brain chemical altering_ drugs_without telling them its effects, then see if they really act differently. Tell them it's a vitamin pill. If you've already given your kids the pill, switch it with a small vitamin pill and tell them it's even more effective than the last and will even make them smarter.
It's not good at all to set the attitude that pills can really fix things up and make things less stressing at home. Their attitude towards the subject is with magical fascination, not logical pragmatism. Kids are easily influenced early on, and embedding a dependency to live happily on pills should always be the _last_ option.
Many kids react very differently to certain chemicals. More and more kids foods and products are becomming sugar stuffed with enriched flowers, strange preservatives, saturated oils, and trans fats.
Kids have a lot of energy, especially if they're eating sugar cereal for breakfast | poptard sugar bar, then drinking a few sugar packed cokes in school with the trash school food. Before giving them pills, be logical and REEVALUATE THEIR DIET first. Taking ridilin or pills should be a _LAST_ option.
The placebo effect exists. It's a mathematical fact, and is even more-so a problem in chemicals used on children. Make sure you have a way to test if it's really the chemicals working, or just your childs attitude towards thinking about how it should make them feel.
It's possible you've been blessed with a very energetic kid that doesnt fit into the schooling system, which wants farmable, controllable people that can be maintained for long periods of time while parents work. Kids are normally energetic, and an energetic kid that cant release their energy gets frustrated, and even spiteful of the people that wont let them live.
