Just about every time Krystan is asked to do something she starts screaming and being disrespectful to adults. She is constantly being told to lower her voice because she tries to over talk others. She talks back to adults and even tells them to shut up because she was trying to tell them something. It's so embarrassing and she was not raised that way.

Does anyone recommend a certain multivitamin? I see a bunch of different vitamins that contains extra omega 3's, iron, etc. My daughter is a picky eater so i know she doesn't get all the nutrients she needs. She will only eat gummy vitamins. We have tried the flinstones kind but they seem a little bit too hard to chew. I will talk with her MD and see what he thinks but i thought i'd try here as well...thanks!

My son will be three in a few weeks. He has been grinding his teeth (during the day)for months. He only does it when he is over stimulated or excited, although I have noticed he does it randomly at ot

We gave our son a Children's vitamin with magnesium. This greatly reduced his biting and pulling hair, but it seemed to cause flapping and making noises.(rarely ever flapped without this) This happened on 2 separate occasions of using this vitamin so it appears to be the vitamin. He still has some aggressive behavior in certain situations, but seems to be able to stop himself.
