In addition to cutting TV and sweets, you may want to try the other thing jedamum mentioned - Omega-3 fish oil. Buy a good quality brand (with no added sugar) with dosage appropriate for children. We buy Nordic Naturals.

Another food that I have read helps kids to calm down and focus, is a little coffee every morning.
Also, I read http://www.younglivingsuccess.com/2009/08/essential-oils-for-add-and-adhd.html about essential oils used to massage the feet at bedtime. I bought Cedarwood EO, and Lavender EO from a trusted local supplier, http://www.milagrotrading.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16&zenid=cc12105bd1268c3f0a8759cd90f00265 and mix it with rice bran oil from NTUC Fairprice (10 drops of each EO for every 60 ml of rice bran oil). Not sure if it really helps, but it cannot harm, right? It definitely aids in getting deep, restful sleep. You may want to try this option.
Also, to add, we noticed more focus and readiness to learn after the age of 6. So hang in there; it will get better.

Happened to chance upon here and saw the link that nansk mentioned. It given me a hope to try the exact EO that recommended from researchers. Why did I say exact EO because my family have been using this particular brand EOs. Thanks nansk for sharing! :love:

I was re-reading this thread again & saw the posting about using essential oils. For those with kids already using Vetiver essential oil, has there been improvement in kids’ behaviour? Do you mix it with either Lavendar or Cedarwood essential oil?


Lovinglife - where do you get your essential oils?

TIA

bb_mom, I am the member of Young Living and have been using their various EOs. A die-hard fan here since their EOs helped to maintain my kids' health. Only today I discovered what nansk had shared and the best part is I can order myself. Singapore store is not selling Vetiver, so I have to order online from US store. By the way it is a MLM thingy so I better not advertise too much here. What I can share here is I use EOs neat, did not dilute with carrier oil.

Thanks Lovinglife. Do you use vetiver EO to do massage on foot or with some kind of diffuser?

No, I just discovered Vetiver and planning to order these few days. I will apply it directly on both side of my kid's big toes.

Found this website as well on the various types of EOs for ADHD/ADD kids:

I was told that other than lavender EO, the rest should dilute with carrier oil as it may cause rash. Has it happened for your kids?
