What Can Make ADHD Worse? Solutions for Calming Your Child

I'm back with Dana Kay from the ADHD Thrive Institute. Today, we're diving into some helpful tips on reducing ADHD symptoms naturally. If you missed our previous chat on diet and nutrition, you will find the link to that episode below.In this episode, we are talking about inflammation, the root of many health issues, including ADHD symptoms. Diet plays a role, but there's more to it. Chronic inflammation is becoming more common, affecting our kids' bodies and brains, even contributing to diseases.Imagine your body as a bucket, and chronic inflammation keeps filling it up. We need to reduce the load to avoid overflow and health problems. Technology is one factor adding to that load. Kids are surrounded by screens all the time.Stats show that 94% of US kids have internet access, and high schoolers spend up to 11 hours a day with digital tech. It's crazy! Excessive screen time can mess with social skills, relationships, and attention span which are common symptoms of ADHD, which we are trying to ease in the first place.  It’s not all doom and gloom, it’s all about balance. Listen in as we talk about other things that could be making ADHD symptoms worse for your child.  Dana is a wealth of information! For Dana Kay’s “5 natural supplements for kids with ADHD”, you can download it from the Parent Toolbox.  www.parent-toolbox.comPrevious episode with Dana Kay (ADHD: What Your Kids Eat Might be Making Symptoms Worse)Podcast link: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/adhd-what-your-kids-eat-might-be-making-symptoms-worse/id1473850349?i=1000591393846YouTube link: https://youtu.be/rItI9W5-S-oAbout Dana KayDana Kay is a board-certified holistic health and nutrition practitioner, two times International best-selling author, and the CEO and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute.
