Why Can't My Child Behave?
by Jane Hersey
My son, age 16 has ADHD and has always had a reaction to anything containing red dye. He would become easily frustrated, highly impulsive and anger quickly. Although removing red dye did not take away the symptoms of ADHD, it did prevent outbursts and erratic behavior. I have always been a true believer that the foods that we eat can affect people in different ways. It is important to discover if your child's behavior may be a result of foods and additives. This book helps to develop a plan of action to do just that. It is based entirely on the Feingold Diet, which has been used for many years to help over active and disruptive children to calm their emotions and actions.
The book explains the many additives and foods that are most likely to cause reactions and provides a basic diet for starting the program and determining if your child needs to have items eliminated from his/her diet.
This book is highly recommended for anyone wanting to start a new program eliminating foods that might be causing a problem.
