How to Help Irritable, Angry, and Oppositional Children

In this webinar, Dr. Leila will discuss common causes of irritability, oppositional behaviour and anger in children – and how to treat the causes. You will learn how to spot the signs of specific deficiencies in your child; how important sleep and nutrition are for the brain and mood; and you will get practical advice on how to help your child manage frustrations, and become patient, calm and happy. 

Are you walking on eggshells around your child, afraid of yet another explosion? Does their mood dictate the mood of the entire family? Is there one nutrient deficiency that could explain all of these issues? Yes, there is – find out how important zinc is for the immune system (ie not getting infections), skin and wound healing, appetite, and mood and behaviour. You will learn about the physical signs of zinc deficiency, how to test and treat.

If your child is irritable, it may be as simple as them not getting enough of one nutrient, or it could be a combination of: Lifestyle factors – including for example too much stress and screens, too little sleep and exercise – a processed diet with too much sugar, additives, and too few antioxidants and vitamins – and specific nutrient deficiencies.
