my youngest loves Enjy benjy is that iron he was on iron for a long time

with you then julia

it sounded like iodine. Does someone in your house refuse to eat fish?

Kaye your lucky lol watching 64 zoo lane now!!

yes Louise

Is it your son?

Sometimes I am glad I haven't got any kids! lol I have to put up with it when my Step Son comes on holiday - drives me mad sometimes. lol Kaye x

yes

I don't know if you can disguise the fish with something or you can get iodine tablets for children Is his development a bit of a worry for you at the moment?

Iodine is in Kelp (seaweed) and sometimes taken to speed up the Metabolism - think it might be used for thyroid problems too but not sure. Kaye x

Louise his developent is a big worry at the moment

well your message is 'alterations to his diet will help enormously.' I know the fish oils are very good for development. They have been proven to help you be brainier and help your memory. I think you can get them for children. Perhaps you could crush them and put them in juice so he can't taste them. Its worth a try. I think they have made a difference with kids with attention deficit disorder Good luck julia xx

Just been reading an article on iodine - Iodine is a trace mineral required for human life. Humans require iodine for proper physical and mental development. It impacts cell respiration, metabolism of energy and nutrients, functioning of nerves and muscles, differentiation of the fetus, growth and repair of tissues, and the condition of skin, hair, teeth, and nails. Iodine is also needed for the production of thyroid hormones. The thyroid (a small gland in the front of the neck), which contains 80% of the body's iodine pool, converts iodine into the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are released into the bloodstream, controlling the body's metabolism. Sounds like good advice Julia. Kaye x

thanks Louise that makes a lot of sense he eats next to nothing at all!! Julia

Thanks for looking Kaye xx

thanks for that Kaye

Just read this from page 1 and I have a connection with horses. Gloria :-))))

Hope you didn't mind - I was curious. Didn't want you to think I was interfering. You're getting really fast at this now aren't you - reckon they'll be impressed with your progress when you go to your class again. Kaye x

Have a look at the bupa website julia. there is an article about a study into fish oils with children. symptoms of lack of omega 3 oils are allergies poor concentration memory problems depression excessive mood swings undue anxiety difficuly sleeping problems with reading (letters appear to move or blur)

thanks for that Louise I will look at that I can fit him into most of that list!
