I don’t think comparing a cup of coffee to low dose of Ritalin would necessarily be valid

Ritalin is a fixed measured dose where its impact on alertness, concentration, etc. are well studied

A regular cup of coffee would vary in caffeine concentration and I have never heard of a comparison

study. (to Ritalin)

Having said that you have a lot of experience in children with special needs. Given the young age

best bet would be to have an evaluation done by a reputable specialist.

From what I have read young children are the most difficult diagnosis.
