Re: Re: Focus in School-What to do - Janice

How much do you give? I've been using Sea Buddies developed by Jeff Bradstreet.

It seems to work well, but my son was getting a little sleepy in the afternoon.

Maybe I'll give the L-Tyrosine a try.

Thanks,

I have been researching this area as well. My son exhibits an

'inattentive' ADD type of focus and I have been using L-Tyrosine for this with

good results so far.

Our original diagnosis was global dyspraxia and apraxia of speech. In resolving

most of these issues, I discovered that he seemed to 'morph' into the ADD type

of kid.

When looking at focusing, I have discovered that there are a lot of Amino acids

that while they are effective in treating the children who exhibit 'hyper'

active tendencies, they are not always effective for the kids who are

'hypo-active'. For instance, I tried L-Theanine on myself before trying it on my

son but it just made me feel rather 'sleepy', albeit, a 'focused' sleepy! Thus,

I chose not to try it on my boy....

I have read that L-tyrosine in conjunction with a good exercise regime works on

the 'hypo' kids and my son seems to be responding to it. We have only been using

it for about a week so it is early days yet.

Hope this gives you a direction if your child is the 'sluggish' type!
