Although many valid natural remedies exist, here's a lot of nonsense out there about natural remedies - for ADHD and just about every other ailment under the sun. In this video, I share some of the supplements for ADHD that we use in our family, and why the decision to medicate or not is an incredibly nuanced and personal one.

Thank you for sharing all your acknowledge with us. My son is recently diagnosed and i would like to know from you some reasons why you didnt medicate your cutie!
I don’t generally share opinions on medicating versus not because I truly feel that the decision is intensely personal and varies from unique family to unique family. It’s important to consider your doctor’s recommendations, your own research, and you own family dynamic before making a decision. Good luck!
Because she’s an idiot that would rather let her kid suffer than help him
This is so awesome!! You are so unique because you have all this medical and professional background AND you are an ADHD mom AND an influencer. You laid out all the information really clearly and I learned so much!! Thanks girl!!
I LOVE doing these videos alongside you - I learn so much from your videos and I so wish I had been as open and aware as you when my G8 was younger.
I only recently found your channel and absolutely love you! You make such high quality and intelligent content. I don't know how you don't have a higher subscriber amount. Looking forward for more videos from this channel. I have a kid who I suspect has A.D.D. Homeschooling has been such a blessing to him because we can alter our day to suit him. I really think he would be medicated in a school setting. We use a lot of the same supplements minus the focus factor.
Thanks so much for the kind encouragement!
My teen son has ADHD, and had a childhood trauma as well. Sometimes I find it hard to navigate through things. I find myself wondering if he's having a tough time because of his ADHD, past trauma or normal teenage angst. Without going into too much detail, my son went through a horrific trauma when he was little, and we've been in therapy for over 2 years now. We've been doing EMDR as one of our therapies. He also has insomnia, and at bedtime, I've been trying EMDR along with meditation, melatonin, oils in his room and a weighted blanket when needed. I don't have him on ADHD meds, and we've tried natural remedies in the past. I used to give him "attentive child" wafers before school, along with a children's fish oil. We didn't notice it helping at all. I thought maybe the placebo effect may help him in class. I was hopeful that having something he can physically touch or see would help him get back on track. I got him a silicone hologram bracelet. I told him it was his focusing bracelet, and that it may help him.
As a teenager, things are getting tougher for him. I often worry about his future. I want him to succeed, be happy and healthy when he's grown. He's so creative, kind and funny! He has a lot to offer this world!
Thank you for making this video! I'm going to try these things, and see if it helps. It can't hurt, and it would be wonderful if it helps him!
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences - I think it helps everyone to realize that we’re not alone in trying to help our kids. That’s how I feel about some of the supplements as well - cautiously hopeful. Good luck!!🍀
I really cried when i watched your video. Everyday is a battle with my child. I really learned a lot
I’m so glad it helped, mama! Thanks so much for watching!
I am behind in my comments but I'm really finding these balanced viewpoints from a trusted source, very helpful!!!
I miss seeing your tiny circle face pop up in my comments, my friend! Thanks for taking the time to watch this one.
I do the same as you do, plus neurofeedback. I know, I know... I read some papers and there is nothing proving that it works. But, I really saw difference on my son's eye contact and attention in the first day he went through a session. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I’d love to learn more about your experience if you don’t mind sharing. We play a lot of games and such that I hope stimulates the same type of growth/practice, but I am curious about neurofeedback. Yes, the research is dismal, but mom-to-mom feedback would be great. Would you mind emailing me at contactprojecthappyhome@gmail.com to share more? I’d so appreciate it.
Just sent you an email!
I just found you, and this is my second video. You are so beautiful, and I love your spirit! You are positive and kind! Now, back to the video 🧡

Hope that helps!
As a TCM practitioner and holistic nutritionist, there is not enough zinc and magnesium in a multivitamin to make any kind of significant difference in the body. Zinc and magnesium must be taken separately at higher doses than a multi to elicit results, especially for children with ADHD. Nervine tonics such as milky oats, passionflower, oatstraw etc, are amazing for children/people with ADHD. My son falls asleep quickly with these, instead of bedtimes taking 2 hours. It is important to understand a child's or person's constitution, from a chinese medicine perspective, as everyone is different and requires specific herbs, foods and flavours that match their constitution.
My recommendation would be to make sure you obtain a medical opinion and baseline levels to establish whether there are any actual deficiencies before starting any supplement.
Same goes with Essential oils... a company can claim that there oil is %100 pure as long as there product has %5 of the pure essential oil and the rest will be synthetics or other cheaper oils.
I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing!
So true about EO’s
So great and so helpful!
Thanks for watching!
Hello, this video was so informative, can you tell us how u use the vitamins and supplements, are they all given on the same day or did you try each bottle as they emptied?
Mostly on the same day, but I keep an eye on the amounts included in each to make sure we're not going overboard in one mineral/vit or another.
Excellent tips as always.
Thanks for encouraging me!
Great video my son was just diagnosed witg adhd and i want to try and stay away from medication what is that site that you can look up if there is mercury in the omega 3
Thanks for watching - if you send me an email at contactprojecthappyhome@gmail.com, I’ll be sure to look it up and reply!
Great content! I can try these ideas before going gluten free for ADHD
Great video with awesome info
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Hello Tanya, Good day! We would like to ask due to lack of budget, which to prioritize supplements or Re-vibe? Thanks!
It’s a good question. Honestly, I’d get supplements (multi and omega-3’s) on a regular basis, and try to craft my own version of RE-Vibe while saving up for it over time. By that I mean using a simple kitchen timer or maybe even a phone alarm/app placed near my child. Maybe setting a timer for myself and simply touching the child on the shoulder every few minutes as a reminder to focus without words. Good nutrition is of paramount importance. If you can remind your child to focus without judgment or frustration, based on an external timer, maybe that will do just as well for now in terms of the RE-Vibe. Hopefully it will become cheaper as word about it spreads. Good luck!
Project Happy Home Thank you so much! This info. will be a big help for us... a HUGE THANK YOU again... 💕
Thank you. I've learnt a lot from you
So nice of you!
Can you give the link to the bracelet you mentioned in the beginning for refocusing? And details on how you use it?
Saw that you found it!
What active culture probiotic have you found that your children like the taste of? I’ve tried some and they hated them! Would love your advice! :)
I generally give them yoghurt. They especially like vanilla and cinnamon flavors. Unfortunately they don’t like kefir or any of the more heavy formulas. I’ll keep trying, and let me know if you find something!
Project Happy Home any specific brand you have found to be higher in active cultures?
Any probiotic for a child that has an allergy to dairy protein (constipation)?
I haven’t explored this myself, but my friend has a dairy allergy and uses products by Klaire Labs and Goodbelly. Hope that helps!
@@ProjectHappyHome thank you..... website states Klaire Labs for kids is free from dairy protein (casein)...will try
So cool
Thanks!
Hello, how about Reliv milk?
I'm not familiar with it.
What about neurofeedback? I heard that’s effective for ADHD. Have you tried it for your child?
I haven't, but the research is intriguing.
Brilliant, "that's another whole area of quakery"! A big thank you from one PhD level scientist to another equally qualified momma!
Haha loving the word “quackery”!
Me, too!
How do you feel about caffeine and ADHD in children?
You know, I’m undecided. There has been promising anecdotal evidence, but the research is mixed.
