[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP, some dyes in food are known to do this (red and blue, there are certain numbers assigned to them, check it out). We didn't happen to have the dye problem, but we have close friends who did, and it was difficult. Eliminating the dyes from their DC's diet helped. My DS and my DD have gone through what you describe. DS lasted about a year, from 8-9. DD is going through it now, age 8.5. It seems to make the day longer! I think it is normal, but I never pinpointed a reason for them, other than temperament. Check out Amazon for some good child behavior books. It is difficult when you have no family nearby, and friends seem to be going through their own issues. Some people have no idea. Try to support each other as best you can. [/quote] oh please cut the crap. The OPs child is fine, he needs help managing his emotions and that comes with age. This behavior is not abnormal, they are CHILDREN that need their parents to TEACH/HELP them with appropriate responses. We eat clean-no dyes, nitrates, artificial crap, no family near by-move a lot and have always been on our own and our boys still act like this. Maybe we are special but I highly doubt it. Some people have no idea how to take responsibility for their own family other than to blame anything and everything for their issues. Grow up. [/quote] The hostility is hilarious. PP here. No doubt, this is the case in most situations. [/quote] keep laughing helicopter mommy but you missed the OPs point entirely. Once again, take responsibility for your child and stop looking for band aides. I understand that it is the more difficult option but welcome to parenting, it is tough Princess![/quote]
