fixing the brakes."

"This medication can help you ignore distractions so you can complete tasks. They can also help
with self-control, which may help you get along better with your friends and parents. Do you
have any concerns about taking the medication?"

"Do you know how it's sometimes hard for you to sit still and pay attention at school? This
medicine will help you." - CORRECT ANSWER "Do you know how it's sometimes hard for
