Now I know a lot of us have children who, from time to time, drive us nuts. We feel like pulling our hair out because they won’t stop screaming and living off only a couple of hour’s sleep a day (5.51am this moring my little boy wanted Toby from Thomas the Tank Engine, desperately!) is the norm for hectic mums (and dads).

I have read a number of articles in the past which state that some behaviour  issues in children can be linked to what  children eat and the amount of sugars and additives that they consume through fizzy drinks, crisps, white bread & pasta, chocolate, sweets and so on. Not rocket science when you think about it but it does give you ‘food for thought’.
