It increases activity in the brain, particularly in areas that help control attention and behaviors. Research shows that children who were prescribed methylphenidate were immediate-release and/or long-acting formulations.

Tigger was created by Alan Alexander Milne in 1928. Milne's inspiration comes from his son's stuffed tiger, thus creating Tigger. He appears in a Disney cartoon called Winnie the Pooh. He is known for his super energetic, enthusiastic, and constant bouncing on his tail as he moves. I chose him because he is very interesting and funny to me.
