Perhaps it would be best to solve that problem first, before using drugs to keep children focused on "busy work." You do know that ADD is much more than focus issues, right? It's more of an executive function disorder. They can't focus on the right things when the want to. I'm betting most if not all can hyperfocus and lose track of time when doing something that engages them. What they can't do is manage priorities and turn that focus on and off when they want to.
