[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Debunked. An excuse for poorly behaved kids. Drives me crazy.  [/quote]

I often feel this way about a lot of things.  The phrase "spirited" drives me bananas.  Some counselor tried applying that to ds, overlooking the signs that something was actually going on.   However, the debunked thing applies to hyperactivity.

Kids with problems like OP has mentioned, as well as mine, are not hyperactive.  They don't run laps as a PP mentioned.  There are physical symptoms that go with it.

Part of the problem is people like the teacher and a PP equating something like running laps with a full on meltdown.  I doubt some of you have experienced what OP and I are referring to.

Op, keep a food diary for a while and eliminate problematic foods.  Watch for the red ears, dark circles under the eyes, and sometimes bright red lips.  Give plenty of water and protein rich foods.  Check for hidden dyes as well, especially in toothpaste.

I found regular  chips, popcorn or pretzels were ok as occasional treats.  Unflavored chips though.[/quote]
