Maybe I Just Need Ritalin...

An article in yesterday's New York Times magazine about children being prescribed Ritalin at younger and younger ages made me wonder: Is it really that children are more hyperactive than they used to be? Or is it that people are waiting longer to have kids, and therefore don't have the same energy at 47 to handle a five year old that they may have had when they were 23, so the kids just seem more active?
