My brother (who lives in the States and is an honorary American with American wife and children!), talked to a neighbour of his about J. Here is a summary of what she said, which I thought might be useful for others to know. Also, does anyone know more about what the Feingold diet consists of?
I finally connected with my neighbor Mariola (German) who specializes in childhood learning and behavioral disorders. She's something of an expert -- she travels internationally lecturing. She is linked to the Waldorf school, and she works with children's issues there.
She confirmed that it would be good to avoid Ritalin. Here are some of her suggestions:
She says it would be useful to do a detox. She mentioned the Feingold diet and definitely to reduce or eliminate sugar.
Cranio-sacral massage could be beneficial:
Using essential oils in a massage routine can be very helpful. She mentioned Raindrop Therapy. The oils she uses are quite expensive, but I imagine I would be able to send you the few oils that you would need. Mariola mentioned one Young Living Oil by name, Valor"
She also suggested that you try Brain Gym with Jacob:
