[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, 11:47. It's interesting to me, how stimulants seem to help "settle" a child. How does this work? Would appreciate any help with understanding this, plus any links you recommend.[/quote] Anyone? Thanks![/quote] I'm no authority, but our psychiatrist compared it to how a cup of coffee can help a lot of adults' minds wake up and focus for a little bit in the morning. My experience is that it seems to help "lift the fog" - like drowning out the background noise, so that the task at hand feels more relevant and easier to focus on. I think the important point is that it perks up the brain, specifically the parts of the brain that are related to executive function. [/quote]
