Crazy New Idea

C has a friend at work who is ADHD, she is in her thirties, I think, and had it so severe she got expelled from schools and fired from many jobs because she couldn't pay attention to anything. (how frustrating, right?!) She has a daughter who is about 9K's age who is also very ADHD. She discovered about 10 years ago that high doses of caffine counter effect the ADHD. She drinks red bull in the morning and afternoon and it works the same that ritalin does, it calms her down and lets her focus. She lets her daughter do the same, and it works the same on her as well. Now, C and I are debating giving this a try before we do meds. Both of us are worried about the affects taurine and caffine have on kids, but I started drinking coffee when I was 12 or 13...only a few years older thank 9K. Then again, I'm severly addicted to coffee and only 5 foot 1. *sigh* I'm gonna have to do more research on this, but it looks like maybe it could be an avenue that keeps us away from medication. We shall see...
