My son does not have hyperactivity issues per se. although he has his moments especially now that he's becoming a "Man" as he puts it. We do eat a very good diet mostly free of excess sugar, dyes and what not. Lots of veggies and fiber. But I am always looking for suggestions in the raising a boy department
We may have matured young way back in the Stone Age (Jean Auel story comes to mind), but nowadays the hormones in possibly some food may be to blame. Or is it the better nutrition that is doing it? Regardless, I shook my head, reading the bit about son becoming 'a man'. Perhaps it is the growth spurt going on? Maybe that is why he reacted to said meds, also. It's just a thought.
I will have to add my recipe for Breakfast Bars to the Recipe Post. They can be eatten at any time, but Moose especially eats for breakfast. It's a start.....
Granola

Thanks,
We make our own granola around here and my friends say it's good enough to sell. I use 3 cups Organic rolled grains (wheat,oats, rye and barley) 1 cup whey protein powder, 1 cup chopped nuts (I like pecans) 1/4 cup Splenda, 1/2 cup organic maple syrup and 1 cup dried cranberries. Mix everything together except the cranberries toast in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, remove from oven and mix in berries. I eat it over Greek yogurt, but the guys nosh on it.
Can you believe it 11 days past his 9th birthday and he's becoming a man - he's also discovered the little man in his pants. Angels and saints preserve me!!!!!!!!
At least I got his right meds after "Stopping By" the claim center today!
Peace and Namaste

Hppy, I hate to tell you, but oatmeal is oatmeal. My maternal grandma worked at a packaging factory, and everything came off the same shoot. Only difference was the package. Seriously.
I am heading off to bed. I am tired.
Forget the Splenda. Also, the bars have enough 'crumbs' when they come out of the pan.
