| 1. Get rid of the
TV and video games.
What? You may gasp, but the amount of stuff that kids see these
days only damages their development of proper thinking such as assessing
reality, problem solving, etc. We are convinced that bipolar disorder
in children can be aggravated by TV and video game images. You most
likely heard about this study already on TV affecting a child’s
sleep functioning. Once we got rid of these things, yes, we got
objections, but a few days later the kids were playing in the backyard
throwing a ball around – laughing! What a concept!
This makes for happier parents too!
If you can’t eliminate TV and video games completely, then maximize
their time to an hour a day. Then instead, teach them the importance
of doing good things for others and focus on that by verbally praising
them. Show them what is important to enjoy life – hard work and
loving others instead of seeking to be entertained.
2. Give your kids Omega 3 Supplements.
By now, you should be aware of the damage of our modern diet and
the lack of Omega 3s. If not, you will enjoy our article on Dr.
Andrew Stoll curing bipolar patients with Omega 3s. Bipolar disorder
in children can be effectively handled with a quality Omega 3 Supplement.
3. Feed your kids natural foods first.
Instead of going for a quick fix meal with tons of preservatives,
aim for natural meals. There is so much sugar and salt and other
damaging ingredients in our foods today that we are damaging our
bodies. (If you owned a Porsche, would you give it recycled oil
or the best of the best? Same with our bodies – they are fabulous
machines that won’t purr if we feed them junk.)
4. Exercise with your kids!
Exercise is the most underrated yet successful treatment for bipolar
disorder in children. The British Journal of Sports Medicine published
results that 30 minutes a day of exercise was a more effective method
of fighting major depression than drugs. It’s important to teach
your kids the necessity of exercise for all aspects of health. Whatever
exercise you choose, your child will love the fun and you’ll love
a happier child and a happier you too! ;)
5. Find a great counselor for your child.
Bipolar disorder in children can be caused by traumatic events
– events that your child may find difficult to speak with you about.
Don’t feel helpless and don’t insist on wanting to be the one your
child talks to. The important thing is that they can share with
someone. Events such as the early loss of a parent, parental depression,
incest, or abuse can cause bipolar disorder in children. You may
want to have your child’s school guidance counselor meet with him
or recommend someone else for your child. Just make the call.
