Missy, I have a son that has ADHD, will the receipes in your
book be good for him?

Dear Rosa,

Good for you for exploring nutritional ways to help your son with ADHD. I am a firm believer in the effect that proper diet can have on our children's health in many regards, and particularly in their ability to focus and concentrate which is so much an issue when dealing with ADHD.

That said, there is more to ADHD then just the ability to concentrate, and proper diet alone is not likely to solve the problem, so I'd recommend that you see a nutritionist and have a conversation with your pediatrician about it as well. They'll both have good ideas about new foods to try and also how to properly monitor the effects that each food is having on your child. I've certainly had many parents share stories with me that their ADHD children have improved when switched to "sneaky" dishes with veggies and fruits in them, and there's also plenty of similar information available on the web. But again, I would definitely recommend speaking with a nutritionist and your pediatrician about it.

Keep up the great work!

With warmest regards,

Missy
