Dosing and administration guidelines for this medication state the following:
Adderall XR (Amphetamine, Dextroamphetamine Mixed Salts) is approved for use in children "over" the age of six years, although regular Adderall can be used in younger children from 3-5 years of age.
"In children with ADHD who are 6-12 years of age and are either starting treatment for the first time or switching from another medication, start with 10 mg once daily in the morning; daily dosage may be adjusted in increments of 5 mg or 10 mg at weekly intervals. When in the judgment of the clinician a lower initial dose is appropriate, patients may begin treatment with 5 mg once daily in the morning. The maximum recommended dose for children is 30 mg/day; doses greater than 30 mg/day of Adderall XR have not been studied in children. Adderall XR has not been studied in children under 6 years of age."
Additionally, I found an article on this drug that may deter you away from using it on your child:

Have you considered looking into any natural alternatives?
