The fact that many parents fail to make the correlation between diet and poor behavior is astounding to me. I hope more parents can read this type of information and begin to associate the cause and effect of diet and its magnified effect on the behavior of little ones that can't take care of themselves.

I can’t tell you how many times I have seen parents feed their children candy and soda and then scold them 20 minutes later when the child begins to misbehave. The fact that many parents fail to make the correlation between diet and poor behavior is astounding to me.

I hope more parents can read this type of information and begin to associate the cause and effect of diet and its magnified effect on the behavior of little ones that can’t take care of themselves.
