I need to do something with my 5 year old. Behavior modification is not working.
I was in the same boat with my five-year-old son, but these simple techniques really turned him around. I was amazed!

I don't think you can eliminate symptoms of adhd through diet.
I tried for two years to do everything for my son without medicating him, this includes chinese medicine, accupuncture and a naturpath.
Besides his diet has always been good, we don't have processed foods, just meats, vegies, fruits and good carbs.
I finally gave in when he started school as the teachers just found it to difficult and i was going in almost everyday picking him up early because of his behaviour.
The medication has helped for sure, but i'm seeing that as a temporary measure while i'm searching elsewhere. unfortunately the diet avenue didn't work for me.
Best of luck, it's a tricky and long road for us mums.
