WORCESTER, MA—Area 7-year-old Douglas Castellano's unbridled energy and creativity are no longer a problem thanks to Ritalin, doctors for the child announced Monday. "After years of failed attempts to stop Douglas' uncontrollable bouts of self-expression, we have finally found success with Ritalin," Dr. Irwin Schraeger said. "For the first time in his life, Douglas can actually sit down and not think about lots of things at once." Castellano's parents reported that the cured child no longer tries to draw on everything in sight, calming down enough to show an interest in television.

Excellent one-two blog punch, Aaron--made me snort coffee out of my nose as well as think deeply.

It always harmful to think about too much about any thing. Some times parents should leave their children to do their own thing and by keeping an eye on them as what they wanna do.
