If you google Sue Dengate or Failsafe Diet you will find some resources. Its all about how preservatives and chemicals can affect behaviours.
Also if you look into Sensory Processing issues... or "Out of Sync Child" you may find some interesting things... Matilda feels as though she's floating all of the time & its most uncomfortable when she tries to sit down or lay down. We use OT exercises to help her feel more "grounded". Sometimes things get mistaken for bad behaviour when its not something in their control.
thanx for that im not sure if its a sp issue as he can sit for a whole day watching his fav movies if u let him.....i think one of the problems may be that he is quite smart,probly not in school subjects but escaping and those kinds of things coz it feels like no matter what we do he always comes up with ways from when he was 2 and stacking his blankets piloows and matresses to now he will climb out the window coz weve locked all the doors and then he figures out how to break the fence to get out....he also loves climbing so i think maybe its a bordem thing but coz he wrecks alot its hard to get him thing kwim? i dont know,deff gonna look into these diets etc though
I am watching this thread with interest. My 1.5yr old is already doing many of the things that you describe and is driving me batty. One of my younger sisters was like this and had ADHD - although my parents (and myself, now that I'm a mother) didn't want to go down the path of drugs, but rather things like diet and exercises to help control and direct behaviour.
Just thought I would add (and I say this as the biggest hippocrite in the world as I love to use my TV as a babysitter) that I have heard that to much TV time can actually make these issues worse and change the brainwaves of young children which cause them to be overstimulated when not watching TV, resulting in the kind of behaviour you are describing.
ah I can't get Matilda to sit down to watch a movie... But there are quite a few issues with SP as well. She thrives off of a trampoline, she started climbing 6 foot fences at 18 months. Now she walks on the top of them
Lulu did the fail safe diet and I did the RPA Friendly Food allergy diet as well as see an allergy doctor.
