Abstract
This article briefly reviews the psychotropic drugs, and discusses their effects, and applicability to different types of children. The major focus is on the preacademic behavior that differentiates young (3–6 years) hyperactive children from nonhyperactive children. Evidence indicates that stimulants are less useful for young children and they precipitate a significant number of unwanted side effects. It is suggested that the difference in drug effectiveness observed between younger and older children can be attributed to differences in adaptation to environment and task requirements.
