[QUOTE="Skylark Matrix, post: 70964, member: 3919"] Has anyone talked to you about an all natural diet? In our house we are not organic fanatics, but we do practice whole food cooking nearly 100% of the time. We noticed early on, without input from doctors that any manufactured food had a bad effect on the kids, the more refined the food the worse it was on their behaviour. Pop and non fruit juice - ie flavoured punches, powdered mixes, etc - seemed to be the absolute worst. After 10 years of just "knowing" this a pyschiatrist told me that it is the chemical dyes that cause this, and the darker the colour the worse the effect. Our basic meal plan is whole grain cereal, fruit, veg., meat, potatoes, whole grain pasta, cheese, milk or water to drink. A consistant routine helped immensly - same waking, sleeping timetable, not any sudden changes. And, even though all this helped when they were young, in the end the ones who we did this for both turned to their own ways and I'm not sure it helped them anyway, but at least we had as much sanity as possible in the house during the younger years.
