    Can someone recommend a good tea for a child with ADHD?

    Yes. We used magnesium for a while and it helps him sleep. Now we use "Kids Chillax" an Olly brand supplement. It contains magnesium, L-theanine and lemon balm extract. I just did a brief Google search. L-theanine is found in black tea and green tea. Those teas contain caffeine but the...

    Can someone recommend a good tea for a child with ADHD?

    It was my weekend off from work. I was in the kitchen and I tried offering him cold Chamomile, telling him "try some Chamomile". But he wouldn't drink much of it. To get him to drink Chamomile, without his knowledge I put it in his sip-straw thermos bottle. He and I were sitting at the table. He...

    Can someone recommend a good tea for a child with ADHD?

    My wife just tried some of the tea I wanted my son to drink. It is called 'rooibos'. Got it from Walmart. She says it like 'betadine'. I looked that up on Google. I don't think she is talking about the mouth wash. The brown color of the antiseptic 'betadine' is the color of the tea. I don't...

    My 5 year old son is diagnosed with autism and ADHD. I was wondering if anyone knows of a tea for alleviating hyperactivity and impulsivity.

    updates life and rising, and surviving

    When someone passes away it can catch you off guard. I think you should cherish the times you still have with your grandmother while she is here. But when she passes away she won't want you to grieve. Try to understand things as they are happening now. There is not much time left for your...

    She LOOKS happy...

    My 5 year old son stayed up until after dark and saw some cakes go off (fireworks boxes). He had his ear muffs on. I remember when he was as young as the little girl in the video the loud noise bothered him terribly. He could take off his ear muffs when the fireworks was done. It was dark and it...

    Distractions for 5 year old with a technology perseveration.

    A mural that makes sound when someone touches a letter. Bare Conductive touch board is used as a controller. Wires in contact with the paint are routed to the controller. Capacitive touch is detected and interesting sounds are activated.

    Distractions for 5 year old with a technology perseveration.

    They want him to learn Phonics right now and he doesn't even understand the sounds in words. They think of something called phonological awareness which is a smorgasbord of phonics and phonemic awareness each of those topics in turn are subdivided into basic skills but they want to throw at him...

    Distractions for 5 year old with a technology perseveration.

    One idea I had was he likes changing wallpaper/backgrounds for an operating system, why not ask him if he wants to change the background on "grandma's old computer", which is a Pentium 2 running Windows 98 SE. Usually he changes backgrounds on his smart phone why not ask him to do it on one of...

    The Roku is known as a user friendly interface for streaming movies & TV shows. My son has a Roku TV. He also has a different TV that uses an external Roku streaming box. There is an app you can download for either Apple or Android devices that lets you use your device as a remote control for...

    Distractions for 5 year old with a technology perseveration.

    My 5 year old, during a particular duration, will configure a specific electronic device over and over again for hours. He can be dissuaded from his "passions" but I need new ideas. I want to succeed in cohabitating with this youngster who is fascinated with the basics of electronic gadgets. I...

    Is it normal for all nearly 5 year olds not to listen or is it the autism?

    Does it mean they are "high functioning" if they do not exhibit a deep hatred of demands on their time?

    Is it normal for all nearly 5 year olds not to listen or is it the autism?

    I am realizing from reading various threads on this website that each autistic person seems to have their own personality that is distinct amongst the other autistic persons. Have you noticed this as you read through the topics? I believe you should find out what defines your son's unique...
