Essential Question

My question is "How does Ritalin effect a child’s mental development?" The reason why I have chosen this a my question is because of how many child are on the medication. I want to know is it really a good idea to put a child on this drug. I'm also curious to know if doctor even use an alliterative for Ritalin.
