Fish Oils for helping with impulsivity problems??

I am wondering about some ADHD like symptoms that ds has, esp at school with other children. He can be quite impulsive, and has hit out before if someone tries to take a toy off him etc, can get overly excited at playtime, general pushing around etc. His concentration is fine though, and always does homework, completes tasks, jigsaws, pictures, can watch shows, programmes quietly etc. Not hyperactive, not always on the go, not fidgety etc, just the "impusive" things i am worried about. But is not impulsive in other ways, ie has a good sense of danger, is careful, etc on stairs, slides, climbing frames etc. Teacher says he sometimes appears to be slow to follow instructions, then again he has always done things in his own good time as is generally a very laid back child. Wondered if these might help, as i am a bit concerned that he is going to keep getting in trouble if he keeps acting without thinking. He has only just started full time school, and does seem to be getting a bit more used to the "children in his face thing"; but he had problems at preschool before this, and even scratched a couple of children.

I think they say up to 12 weeks - seems ages doesn't it!!

(will be in touch, honestly(!!). When is good for you - not sure if I will be able to fit in without the DSes around! How about a Saturday morning - they could play and we could chat!)

Thanks Alibo. I see your son is only 4 and in reception. Re fish oils - we noticed a small difference in a matter of days - but it takes 12 weeks as Fatzak says to get to maximal affect. Ds seems to do well on Eskimo kids - Tesco Extra now sell it or good health shops.
Will go back to your other thread.

hi again, this is tricky when you've got a few threads! I'll stick to the ADHD thread for any more replies, thanks again!
