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.
That old paradoxical effect--I know first hand.
Caffiene makes the difference between:
startstop,starttstop,startstop,startstop,startstop,
startstop,startstop,startstop,startstop
and
Focus, plan, start, concentrate, finish
(I get my caffiene from Diet Cokes)
