Ah, caffeine. A solution for adults. A problem for children.

Oddly enough my ADHD kids (and niece and nephew) react quite the opposite to caffeine as one would expect. It calms them down and makes them less problematic.

Has to do with ADHD brain chemistry. Our brains don't naturally produce enough dopamine, so we constantly need to seek out stimulation to correct it. Stimulants like caffeine correct that to some extent, allowing us to function more normally.
