A Lubbock report contrasts sensationalized true confessions with cautious medical care for hyperactive children. Teachers note that under physician consent and parental agreement certain medications help focus attention and reduce restlessness, allowing a boy to sit longer and complete tasks.
The column presents reader questions about pregnancy work limits and social nosiness, with Ann Landers urging tolerance. It also reports teachers in Lubbock Public Schools discussing drug use for hyperactive students and the absence of teachers administering medication at school, emphasizing parental instructions and doctor guidance.
Teachers note drowsiness and irritability after medication but view benefits as outweighing drawbacks. If no improvement after weeks, stop medicine and behavior returns to normal. A 1951 Office of Child Development report with HEW says no link between stimulants in preadolescents and later drug abuse. Children treated by doctors do not get pleasurable effects that drive misuse.
