A cup of coffee in the morning helps some kids calm down and concentrate.

That has always baffled me. I find that even one strong cup of coffee in the morning makes me jittery.

Hmmm?

I've been drinking coffee for breakfast since I was 13 (40 years now). I have a few cups during the day and usually have the pot working all weekend. It's a matter of getting used to it.

It has no effect on me. It has no effect on me.

The theory is that the coffe will calm hyperactivity. I know it seems counterintuitive. something about a kids body chemistry.
But I think they have to be hyper first or it doesn't work as a sedative...it works like it does in everyone else.

Strange isn't it. But stimulants have the opposite effect on some of these kids. It sure beats going the drug route.
