Does Constant Use Of Suntheanine Induce Tolerance In Children?

I ve been giving my 7 yr old son Suntheanine (100 mg/day) to relieve ADHD symptoms. It has helped with focus and getting a full night of good sleep. Can he build a tolerance to it? Should I stop giving it to him 1 week after every 3-4 weeks, so he ll keep benefitting from it?
