Overfed and/or undernourished.
Chemicalized foods (entering the brain).
Rejecting gashmiyus to the point of poor health is tipshus.
Rejecting health to act cool is mental degeneration.

Eat fresh and balanced meals.
Do not give children nosh and soda (ketchup included).

The majority of people who regularly give their children junk have physically, mentally and psychologically unhealthy children.

Be a responsible parent. Do not be kind where you should be firm or your “kindness” will really be damaging.

Treat your hildren like the humans they are, not the superhumans you might imagine.

Cause & Effect

How about changing food products and eliminating all those chemicals in your family’s diet: artificial food coloring, corn sweetener & sugar, MSG, pesticides, etc. The poisons list goes on and on. Become an informed consumer. It really will make a difference to drink spring water rather than syrupy sodas, whole grains rather than artificially laden colored and sweetened cereals, and so much more. One big culprit for producing free radicals leading to disease is cottonseed oil. Cotton is not really a vegetable for human consumption. Have some sensitivity and regard for the body, and it will respond in kind.

You are correct that CAPD-central auditory processing disorder is a medical diagnosis only made by an audiologist through specialized testing. However, it is important to note that in the past few years, testing is being done at younger ages. If you suspect CAPD, at a younger age, please contact a qualified audiologist to find out the current age for testing.

Although the term “auditory processing” is thrown around easily by teachers and parents, it is a disorder that can only be diagnosed by an audiologist, and only after a child is seven years old.

Is it really sleep deprivation?
May 26, 2015 3:05 pm

A pharmacist told me that 90% of depression is really sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation can mimic other related conditions such as ADHD, and even schizophrenia! Depending on how deprived one is, determines how much adequate sleep one needs to make up. If you have an “accumulated lack of sleep,” one nights good rest may not be enough to recover. You may need two weeks, consistently getting a good sleep each night.
Now this may be easier said than done, especially in this day and age. If that’s the case, then medicine may be necessary.
