It is fairly well accepted
that there is such a thing as the placebo effect by proxy. The placebo effect is happening to you - you give the child the 'medicine' and you notice a change in its behaviour. Things you would not have noticed before suddenly become the 'medicine' doing something.
I would suggest that it's the opposite of the fizzy pop experiments. Give a child some fizzy pop and the parent will see them becoming 'hyperactive'. But the child's behaviour doesn't actually change. It is just the parent's perception. Things that they usually wouldn't notice become shining examples of how they have become hyperactive.
