The evidence is now clear (for me). With my granddaughter on a strict no artificial colourings or flavours diet, there has been the unavoidable pre-Christmas parties, post-Christmas sharing of sweets when visiting friends - and the Christmas Carols night in the local park when Santa handed out sweets to the kids.

I observed an almost instant reaction whenever I was present (or later on visits to my home). On each occasion the hyperactivity lasted for 2 days, always. So in the midst of a clean slate, so to speak, of none of the suspect treats that kids tend to consume as a matter of course, here was proof right before my eyes (and my nervous system). Even a single lolly! One was found in my shopping bag - that I had hidden then forgotten - and the change in behaviour was almost instant.

I was speaking with a mother who had been through the same problem with her (now) 9 year old and, amazingly, they had narrowed the culprit down to the colour green. Now that's a tough one, but great if you can do it.

If you wish to try the same experiment, it's not as severe as we first thought. Simply avoid anything with colours like cake icings with coloured sprinkles, lollies, biscuits, ice cream, complex cereals and bars often labelled as being "full of goodness."

But that's not so bad. Here in Australia there are a number of major brands offering 'No Artificial Colours' in ice cream, biscuits, jelly/jello, lollies and a number of breakfast cereals. Stick with these. Chocolate seems to be okay (watch out for coloured centres), but with that goes sugar which, unless eaten to excess, is not guilty. Good luck.

As I've mentioned above, I'm not the parent so it's not for me to decide what should be done in the case of my granddaughter. But I have done some research and found a wide-ranging, all-embracing, program totally in harmony with what I'm saying, which is definitely worth looking at for solutions to introduce while (or instead of) experimenting with food additives.

You get masses of stuff which makes this package really worth every cent of the purchase price (it's very reasonable anyhow). Here's just a little of what is included in this huge program.

* Imagine having at your fingertips an arsenal of "secret weapons" that you can use to calm your child down anytime you want.

* Imagine your child actually obeying you the very first time you ask, without having to resort to spanking, nagging and bribing.

* What if your child's ADD/ADHD was a strength - the launchpad or starting point - of his current & future success, instead of the crippling failure it has become.

* What if you could safely "re-program" your child's brain to become more focused, calmer and less fuzzy and distractible.

* Imagine being able to calm your child down at the touch of a button?

Framed   Mounted

"In regard to children and their psychology, I want the scales of habit (and the masked hatred within the habit) to fall from our eyes. I want us to envision that what children go through has to do with finding a place in the world for their specific calling. They are trying to live two lives at once, the one they were born with and the one of the place and among the people they were born into. The entire image of a destiny is packed into a tiny acorn [what Hillman calls his Acorn Theory], the seed of a huge oak on small shoulders. And its call rings loud and persistent and is as demanding as any scolding voice from the surroundings. The call shows in the tantrums and obstinacies, in the shyness and retreats, that seem to set the child against our world but that may be protections of the world it comes with and comes from."
