He's raging
How can i help calm him when he's raging from having some red dye? I honestly thought a little bit in a snack wouldn't hurt, but now I know. I sent him to his room to chill out because he was screaming and stomping and I could not deal with it today. Is there anything that would help calm him down until I can flush his system?

Re: He's raging
I would possibly give him benadryl (dye-free ), but if it will make him sleepy and miserable, maybe wait till bedtime. I'm sorry.

Re: He's raging
Well as it turns out he raged himself to sleep. Poor kid, at VBS this morning they had rainbow goldfish for a snack. I told them he cannot have red dye but apparently they were not aware that you need red to make orange and purple.

Ugh, I'm so sorry they gave him dye! I hope he wakes up calmer.

Re: He's raging
That's happened to us, too. . In the future, Rescue Remedy has helped us, as had Natural Calm.
I've told Gracie's SS teacher absolutely no artificial colors at all. They asked if it was an allergy and I said yes not knowing how else to explain it. I also bring safe snacks, enough for the whole class, so they don't have to scramble to find something for her. Hope he's feeling better soon.

RR works miracles sometimes, other times not at all. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: He's raging
Dyes make my kids nuts too. They are at VBS this week as well, and I've been thinking that maybe this disruption in schedule etc. were responsible for the crummy behavior we've had pop up, but now that you mention this - I'm betting that it's at least partly related to the junky snacks they're getting there.

Re: He's raging
I'm going to go to the HFS tomorrow and pick up some of the NC or RR depending on what they have. Thanks for the tip! He did wake up better and while he's a little short fused right now it's nothing we can't handle. Thank you all for the love and support you share with me here.
