For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Are you sure it's E numbers? Have you seen "Little Angels" on BBC 3? Quite often you can change a childs behaviour by carefully choosing how you speak to her / him and which words you use exactly. I read a book called "They F*** You Up" it's a psychological study into how we as humans attempt to re create aspects of our childhood in our adult lives. How did your parents treat your ill behaviour as a child? Are there any 'knock-on' effects that you are inadvertantly passing on from your own childhood?
I don't mean to cast aspersions, but I think parents are too quick to jump to the conclusion that it's food, or TV that is causing the problem these days. Self appraisal and careful monitoring of your relationship with the child may make all the difference.
Again, no offence meant.
My son used to be quite hyper and violent with it. We found a list of E numbers and were extremely shocked to see how many of them are used in British food stuffs, yet seem to be banned in every other country. The main culprit in my opinion seems to be Squash drinks, containing such nasties as 'Sunset Yellow'. We stuck to a rigid regime of checking all the foodstuffs we bought to avoid E numbers, and let me tell you it is VERY hard. 90% of the stuff you but in supermarkets contains at least one nasty E number. I think it is disgusting that this country is allowed to get away with all the additives they put in every day food. Do the government not think there is a connection between E numbers and violent behaviour in youngsters? Half of this country raise their children on a diet of fizzy drinks, sweets and choclate biscuits and wonder why their little darlings give them so much trouble.
