Under doctor supervision I have given it to my daughter. The instructions were very clear. 1mg (they are hard to find but available with out having to cut pills.) 15 minutes before bedtime for no more then 5 days. Worked like a charm and I have used it a couple of times since. (all with consulting the doctor first)

  I also use it for my super high energy boys on days when they don't get enough exercise and are restless and can't fall asleep. I only use .75mg and only when it is hours past bedtime and they are still bouncing off the walls. Lack of sleep is also exponentially harmful to children and their growing minds, and that is proven.
