Attentive Child
Studies have shown that very active children may have special dietary needs. Source Naturals Attentivechild™ is designed to support your child's ability to focus - and kids love the sweet and tart taste! DMAE, a substance normally found in the brain, has been shown to help enhance mental concentration. Magnesium plays a role in neuromuscular transmission and activity. L-aspartate, an amino acid, acts as a neurotransmitter. Grape seed extract is rich in procyanidins, which have powerful antioxidant activity, and phosphatidylserine is a vital component of cell membranes, including those in the brain.

So Far So Good!by Shelli
I started my son on Attentive Child a week ago. I have an older son with ADHD that we took the medication route with him (I was much younger and less informed). I saw my son struggle and even be over medicated in our search for the "right formula". When my 6 year old started showing signs, I dug my heels in. I refused to make him go through what my older son went through. A week ago we had a parent teach conference and I knew that it was time to search for an alternative. I found Attentive Child and started him on it immediately. We saw an instant improvement in his behavior, and it gets better every day. I am very pleased with this product and have already recommended it to others. Thank you!

i have more of a question about this product. My son is 6 and grade wise is doing amazing in school however is struggling with not talking and staying focused when he needs to. Hes been on this for 3 days and wondering how long before i notice a difference and if this is the right supplement for him to be on?

This product is great! My 6 year old takes it along with the DHA and I noticed a difference the first day. He went from two thumbs down to two thumbs up over night in his school performance. Worried that we would struggle forever with this because of a heart condition keeping him from taking any prescription medication for ADD I am so happy that we found this!
Was this Review Helpful? Yes No That is totally impressedby A mother
My son has had trouble in school since he started when he was 5 years old. He couldn't sit still, very high, couldn't sit still or concentrate on his work. I would just sit at work during the day and everytime my phone rang and I saw on the caller id that it was his teacher calling to say what he had done wrong that day, or come home to red cards in his back pack. The school put him in counseling and then when that wasn't working, they said he had ADHD and suggested to put him on meds, which I totally refused. Second grade was just as hard as kidnergarten and first grade. Then at 3rd grade, I didn't know what to do, he still had trouble with reading comprehension, his handwriting was not legible also writing letters backwards, etc. I just prayed and prayed for an answer. I took him to a lady that does cranial sacial massage, which wasn't helpful but it lead me to the path to a gentleman that helps kids with adhd, autism and he told me about Attentive Child vitamins and how helpful they were for helping kids be able to focus. I went right away to get them and after the first week, 1 wafer a day, nothing, after a month went by, it was a total turn around. The second half of 3rd grade, his reading went up from a D grade to an A, his handwriting was beautiful and now that he is in 4th grade, he is still doing very well, also on the Honor's list! These are wonderful!! Thank you so much for making such a wonderful product!! :o)

I started my 8 year old son on this product almost 3 weeks ago, along with an Omega 3 supplement EVERYday at the same time, with a cup of Orange Juice. We have also cut his sugar intake in HALF! Wow What a difference! His grades have come up and he actually sits down and really pays attention and is focused on what he is doing! I thank my LORD, that we found this natural product! He doesn't like the taste, but he says they are his smart pills. I researched this product and I am still so encouraged by the reveiws that I read. I hope this helps some moms out there who are struggling with their child on paying attention and focusing!

Stay at home mommyby Chrystina
My son is 5 years old and was just diagnosed with ADHD. My brother and father both have it and the prescription meds that they were put on affected them both in a very negative way. My brother is in his twenties now and I remember him being on at least 5 different medications before they stopped them completely when he was 15 and addicted to them. He never finished high school and is jobless and living with our parents still. Obviously I don't want that for my son and after his doctors appointment I immediately began researching alternatives. I came across Attentive Child and found it at our Better Health store and after reading so many positive reviews my husband and I are excited to start him tomorrow! I will post another review soon!

My 6 year old daughter has never been diagnosed with adhd but I have noticed she has a little difficulty focusing and paying attention, she's a very smart child but she is struggling with her class and homework. My question is, do you think these vitamins would help her even though she does not have adhd?
Was this Opinion Helpful? Yes No Will start this tomorrow...by NJmom
My daughter is 8 and has ADHD, but (thankfully) cannot take meds because of her small frame and low weight.
I have been researching all of the recent ADHD studies, and it would seem that a significant number of children diagnosed with ADHD also have magnesium and zinc deficiencies. Low magnesium may also be implicated in impairing EPA levels as well (omega-3 component).
Since there is no down side to taking these supplements (Attentive child & Omega 3 with EPA), there is no reason for me not to try this.
I would do anything to give my daughter the chance to have less difficulty at school.
I have been using the Omega-3 supplements for a few weeks, but I can't say that I've seen any improvements yet. I think I've heard that it can take a while.
Rather than taking a wait-and-see-approach, I am going to buy Attentive Child wafers tomorrow to complement the omega-3.
