Most children suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are of normal or high intelligence, and may have a specific learning disability that prevents them from taking in and sorting out information in the same way that other children do.

Good nutrition is the cornerstone for healthy child development. Many parents know what is good for their children. But knowing what you know, and putting it into practice, can be difficult. Here we provide you information that may assist you in guiding your child to better health and nutrition. We discuss the importance of breastfeeding during infancy, and provide you advice on how to minimise less healthy foods while incorporating vegetables in your child’s diet (and making it more appealing to your children).
