Hi,


Zinc is great for the mucus (cough/cold) if you start it early when symptoms begin.

Vitamin D, on the other hand, should be taken regularly to build up resistance.

Hello everyone,


I am a daddy to a 9-year-old boy who has ADHD. I have been unable to find a truly active community or forum for parents like us in Singapore. I had originally started a blog about my own experience as a parent but so far have posted mainly on topics directly (or indirectly) concerning ADHD. I am now hoping to make it a community forum as well for topics related to this area.

I understand most parents of children with ADHD are super busy and rarely have time to blog or post much on forums. So I have set up a simple mailing list that will allow parents to be notified when there are new articles. All articles are written by myself thus far (unfortunately) and basically contain information related to ADHD. Then I pull out data from scientific studies and comment on them.

The site is strictly NON-PROFIT. No ads, no sales of any sort. I hope some of you can pop over and comment on the articles. Even post on the forums which I have created (they are not meant to compete with this forum since they focus on ADHD/ASD). I hope the admins/moderators on this forum can see my sole intent to create a lively community around this special need.

If we can get a proper community going, it will be of great help to every parent. Those with much experience can share theirs whilst others have a chance to benefit from it. Please help me get this going.

The blog is here: http://adhd.sg

So far, I've written a few posts like so:
TV Makes it Hard to Focus in School
Sugar Proven to Make ADHD Symptoms Worse!
Drinking too Little Water can Make You Stupid

Hope to see you over there too!

There are many supplements that can be beneficial for our children. However, supplementation should come secondary to a good healthy well-balanced diet. Make sure the kids get enough veggies and fish! The human body often absorbs the vitamins and minerals better from a real food source than from a liquid or capsule.

If you do feel your child's diet is lacking in a certain area (say he hates sour fruits), then yes, a supplement may do some good.

We used a BlueAir Air Purifier when we stayed in Beijing, China for a couple of years. Hence, I can recommend the brand if you need a good quality purifier. It certainly costs more but sometimes you just need to shell out for health reasons. It could filter a good volume of air quickly. There are other purifiers that do a good job but many of the ones I had previously researched overseas aren’t available in SG so I can’t comment on those.
