I guess I’m just curious as to how you know when your children are needing extra dosing and when they are just tired.  Our family went to visit friends over the holidays and i would have thought that something was wrong with their child from his behavior but of course since he doesn’t have any ongoing medical problems no one even flinched.  He just sat on the couch and kind of glazed over and eventually just fell asleep.  I mean is it a crutch for us as parents or is there proof somewhere that this is medically necessary?  I am not questioning your judgement just trying to understand all aspects and different experiences better.  I have read that some adults have to stress dose in relation to their jobs etc . . . and others that say that it is all a crutch and winds up sending their systems into a tail spin.
