RE: Children with Special Needs #3 ADHD - Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder

Medication no matter what has side-effects, as mentioned altering a diet, trying various ways of assisting, always an excellent choice.

Alternative ways will always be my go to. As parents we have to determine what food etc triggers hyperactivity etc. In my son it is Oros, green and red food colourants and all jelly sweets. So we have just gone from having it in our house to only giving him when we know he has loads of time to run it of and out of his system.

It must be difficult to find out what triggers hyperactivity, food colourants I have heard are problematic. (A friends child suffered with red food colourants.)

To me, running wild is just being normal for a child, they do grow out of it.

I agree. Prefer to let him run wild. As long as his mind is stimulated and he is intrigued then he doesnt look like a hyperactive kid
