Omega-3 Source

If you are looking for food sources with Omega-3 in it, Smart Balance has a peanut butter that has 1000mg of Omega-3 from flax oil in it. Surprisingly, my kids will eat it. I bought it yesterday with the expectation that it wasn't going to taste very good and that my kids would turn it down. They didn't. They asked for seconds! Of course, I didn't tell them it was good for them.

It looks the same as regular peanut butter, but the consistency is different. It is stickier than the average peanut butter but that didn't stop my daughter with braces from asking for more either.

It is a natural peanut butter but it doesn't need to be refrigerated so you don't need to worry about tearing up your bread the way refrigerated peanut butter does. It is also non-hydrogenated and trans fatty acid free!

Omega-3 is something I am currently researching because of the reports I've read on the improvements seen in ADHD children after taking Omega-3 regularly. I've also recently read that parents of children with verbal apraxia (speech apraxia, dyspraxia) have also seen noticeable improvements. Since my husband's son has ADHD and our son together has apraxia, I have a huge interest in finding out if this really works.

A lot of children are given an ADHD diagnosis who don't deserve it. Sometimes, I think the schools want it diagnosed so it is easier on them (or a parent wants it diagnosed because a pill is easier to give than consistent discipline and structure). I am not saying ALL ADHD children or ALL parents of ADHD children, however, at the rate ADHD is being diagnosed, it is like an epidemic! We have a generation of children who are being medicated that wasn't seen before. If something as simple as an Omega-3 deficiency is to blame for even a small percentage of these kids, how easy is that to remedy? Simple!

As a parent, I would want to try everything safe first before drugging my child!
