Non-toxic, plant-based support for focus and attention without the toxins or side effects from dyes, artificial sweeteners and other methods!
Happy Friday, friend!
This week is going to be geared toward focus+attention support. Miller struggles with hyperactivity and needs extra support focusing and help with his attention span. I have been on such a journey to reduce toxins in our home, including dyes.. and finding alternatives to the traditional ways to deal with hyperactivity, impulsivity and attention has been a journey! I can’t wait to share what has helped Mills focus better with homeschooling and his other daily activities… of course, reach out if you have any questions or need help!

ONE. Finally Focused
Finally Focused: The Breakthrough Natural Treatment Plan for ADHD That Restores Attention, Minimizes Hyperactivity, and Helps Eliminate Drug Side Effects has been the basis of how I have approached supporting Miller over the last few years. Kids {and adults!} who need support focusing + attention support is likely not because of behavior problems.. and I’m not saying medication is never the answer! BUT this book is amazing on covering all your options. It addresses all of the recommendations for both adults + kids on how to help people who need support focusing + with attention. This book provided us with great success for Miller as it does a natural science – based approach that combines natural and medical therapeutics! You should get this paper back so you can reference all the recommendations… you won’t be disappointed!
TWO. Unwind Magnesium Powder
Remember those yummy pixie sticks as kids?!?!…Well, this magnesium powder come in 42mg stick packets… we LOVE them! They taste kid friendly, but have NO artificial colors, flavors, etc….totally 100% clean. Can I get an AMEN?! These packets help promote a calm state and eases irritability. All of my kiddos love these powder sticks, so I definitely recommend these to help unwind your kids and get your rest back! Following the recommendations of the Finally Focused book, Miller takes one packet in the morning and one at night!
THREE. Vitamin B6
We learned in the Finally Focused book that B6 helps the body to absorb magnesium – but finding one that Mills would take was tricky.. I’ve done the guesswork for you! These have been the best option for B6 for us – pro tip: Mills like it with a spoonful of peanut butter! This Vitamin B6 helps support mood and prevents fatigue in kids. Again… there are NO…sugars..artificial colors + flavors and NON- GMO!
FOUR. Caffeine
Vitality drops…. think crystal light flavors without the toxic dyes and artificial sweeteners! While caffeine has been shown to help in the short term with focus and attention, I also don’t want my 5 year old drinking pop or pounding some sugar-filled Frappuccino’s! While it is short acting and there haven’t been a whole lot of studies on this, we feel comfortable using these because of how clean they are.. and Mills loves it! We use these drops when its time to focus (homeschool + activities) and we’ve seen it help for about 1-3 hours. There are two ‘energy’ flavors: Jade Lemon Berry {Miller’s fav} and Spearmint Tangerine {my favorite}! Be sure to throw it on your Loyalty Order to get up to 25% back in Loyalty Rewards!
FIVE. GenYus – kids oil
GeneYus essential oil blend is our go to for FOCUS, especially for our kiddos! These blends help encourage an enriching setting for productivity and positivity…perfect for kiddos working on homework! We use these blends topically and have the diffuser running during homeschool. Check out the bundle with all the oils and the cute puppy diffuser! Mama’s – if you’re not sure where to start with oils, this has my FULL recommendation!!
Thank you for checking out my focus + support attention favorites! Have a happy weekend friends!
