In this quick tip I will explain the 3 most common mistakes parents make with their children on a daily basis…. that leads to failure in school.
When I say failure in school, I mean….
- bad grades
- poor behavior
- can’t sit still
- too many parent/teacher conferences
… you know what I mean, right?
OK! Here is the top 3 mistakes.
p>
- Breakfast – High glycemic breakfast. Many parents allow their kids to eat cereal that is high in sugar and low in nutritional value. NO protein in their breakfast. (protein is a must for preventing ADD symptoms). WORST- No breakfast at all
- TV – watching TV before school is a really BAD idea. Its like driving on the highway at 70 mph and then being stuck in stop and roll traffic… You get agitated and cannot sit still. (sound familiar?)
- NO vitamin supplementation – Even if you get a decent breakfast high in protein… you will still need vitamin supplementation. 1. A High quality Multi-Vitamin AND 2. A High Quality ADD-ADHD Specific Vitamin (read more about this under “Step #2″)
I started eating eggs (protein) every morning and I have seen a big difference in my morning productivity.

Two weeks ago I read this and immediately abolished Fruit Loops at my son’s breakfast table. I also puth im on a really good multivitamin. In addition, I suggested he play outside before going to summer school (yes, he’s one of those kids with poor grades and behavior!). The teachers have already seen a change!

That seems like an easy plan – wonder why so many parents are not willing to try this? I know I will!

Since finding out I might have ADD, I tried the diet suggestions you made on this site. Not only am I focusing better at work, but I have lost 7 pounds in just a month!
