Well, one my cousens are extremely hyper. They tested him to see if he had ADD. He didnt, so the test said.

And I can with all honesty say I think he does. He is constantly making sounds, constantly moving around. Constantly being, well, anoyying. Hes 10 (or 11?) BTW.

I can understand a 4 year old doing that, thats what 4 year olds do. But a 10 or 11 year old?

LadyZ: Regarding your post, I agree that is NOT the way to handle. The drug (AFAIK) just helps calm them down.

Its like using Asprin for Headaches. It just helps ease it a little bit.

Have you ever been around someone with ADD? I have, my cousen that does not have it (souposedly) and then my former nebhours kid had it. That child was really wild. It made my cousen look almost placid. He was about 9 I think at the time. Before he could even finish one sentence he would start on a other. Seriously, he would be in the middle of saying somthing then just out of the blue start talking about somthing else. And he talked fast like his vocal cords wear on some kind of motor or somthing. Riddlin did calm him down a bit. He was still somewhat hyper though.
