Michele’s Message
As we approach the new season of fall, just as we recognize the changes in the leaves, we should acknowledge the habits and patterns in ourselves that may need some changing, as well.
This month we put the focus on helping our kids with ADD/ADHD begin the school year… from preparation to pointers.
We also shed some light on how to avoid letting the stress of starting a new school year affect our own health… as kids are not the only ones who deal with seasonal stressors!
As always, Native Remedies will be right there to help whenever you need us.
FROM THE EDITOR
A Successful Start
As summer comes to a close, for parents, it is time to begin preparing your child for the new school year. While the classroom can be a daunting and challenging time for any child, for an ADD/ADHD child, the pressures are even greater.

For others without children, the start of the school year can still cause stressors to contend with, particularly for adults with ADD/ADHD. However, the proper perspective combined with natural remedies can provide much-needed support for almost any issue that may arise.
Read more about lessons learned beyond the classroom
As adults, we often have a greater ability to apply maturity and experiences to handle obstacles that come our way, effectively managing our younger children. Unfortunately, reaching out to teens troubled with ADD/ADHD can present a challenge. However, there are many ways you can manage your teen while salvaging your own sanity.

Back-to-School Doesn’t Have to be a Battle
Managing kids with ADD/ADHD
Starting off a new school year can be daunting and challenging for any child… but for a child with ADD/ADHD, the pressure is even greater. However, parents, teachers, and other important people in a child’s life can provide support and help to make the transition from summer to school much more manageable.
Before school begins, spend time with your child discussing the upcoming school year. Allow your child to express any fears or concerns, which may help alleviate any undue nervousness and anxiety he or she may be experiencing. Children who struggle with learning and concentration difficulties are at an increased risk for developing depression, as they may feel alienated from their peers or frustrated with their capabilities.

Beyond the Classroom…
Challenges Adults Face Each Fall
Parental pressures and more
Whether or not you have children in the household, you will likely feel the effects of a new school term regardless. More traffic on the road often results in road rage; stores are more crowded, which can challenge patience levels; and advertisements bombard consumers with messages to “get organized”, which can cause anxiety in people already juggling multiple responsibilities.
These additional stressors can turn even the most level-headed person into a nervous wreck, worrying about their children reaching for preconceived standards of success or evaluating personal goals and achievements as a result of the back-to-school frenzy.

QUESTION 1
"I'm continually searching without much success trying to help my son, who's 13 years old. He has never officially been diagnosed but has "tendencies". Classic symptoms include inability to sit still, extreme trouble focusing, very emotional, has trouble making and keeping friends, low self-esteem, and poor grades.
We've tried drugs (which I was against), which made him dark and aggressive. We've also tried acupuncture, which I truly think helps, but it's a very slow process. We've tried changing his diet, but let's face it, when he's away from home; he's eating what all the other kids are eating. Nothing has made a huge difference and as he gets older, I worry more. I want to see him interactive and happy. Help!"
- Robin
ANSWER
Hi Robin,
We highly recommend a combination of Focus ADDult™ and BrightSpark™. Focus ADDult contains three highly effective tonic herbs in concentrated medicinal extract. It is important that it be taken regularly in order to enhance the overall tonic effect.
While some people show an immediate effect, most people can expect to notice a difference in energy levels and mental clarity after about three weeks of continued usage.
Concentration, focus and memory should show increased improvement over time. You will notice that you can think more clearly and in a more focused way. Students and scholars should notice an increased concentration span and the ability to study effectively for longer periods of time.
Be aware that lifestyle factors like diet, health and fitness levels will all play a part in concentration and overall cognitive functioning. While Focus ADDult is highly effective on its own, its effectiveness will be increased with regular exercise, sufficient sleep and a healthy, balanced diet.
BrightSpark is a very effective homeopathic remedy. As a homeopathic medication, one would take it every day including on weekends. Some children immediately benefit from BrightSpark, while for others it can take up to 3- 6 weeks for full effect. However, it is ultimately extremely effective. BrightSpark comes in small sucking tablets, taken 2 at a time, 3 times daily.
Each product is effective on its own - however the best recommendation is a combination of the two products. While BrightSpark works on the cause and can provide long term benefits, Focus ADDult works to relieve symptoms, while also improving cerebral blood flow and helping the brain to heal itself. By using a combination of two remedies that work differently your son has the best chance for success.
