Focused Mind Jr. Cognitive Support for Children, 60 EZ Melt Tablets | Pediatrician Formulated, Stimulant-Free, With Inositol & DMAE, Sugar-Free, Vegan

After our 6 year old daughter's ADHD combined diagnosis, and choosing NOT to go the route of prescription meds, we chose Focused Mind Jr as a solution that had potential without having a drastic change on her routine or quality of life. (transitioning tasks, activities is one of her most difficult areas) We chose a 2-a-day regimen - one at breakfast, and one after school. As many other reviewers have noted, it took a few weeks to see a marked change, but... it has worked very well. What we observed, was her emotional state become so much more stable after just 2-3 weeks. Her tantrums and outbursts went from averaging 8+ a day, to 2-3 a day. Its almost like a switch was flipped, and now she could see that she was in control of her own emotions. Its also worth noting that before this supplement, she could not be still long enough for us to explain the simplest things. It was like her body was one of those wavy noodle machines you see at car dealerships. She still has that same amount of energy, she is just harnessing control of it much more effectively. Its no longer "nervous" energy. Its been about 6 months, and she is doing great. There have been no side effects, and she loves the flavor. cant stress this enough - if you are struggling with an ADHD child, give this a shot. We were desperate to just get a little bit of peace, and this product has had such a positive effect on her and our family as a whole.

Tried this product for my 6 year old after 2 months of using another brand. After a couple weeks we've seen a major improvement in attention span and we're not the only ones who noticed. Our son isn't formally diagnosed but likely ADD/ADHD. We did not want to jump to mediation and he is homeschooled and not having social issues so the pediatrician decided to wait. This past week his religion teacher told me he had a major improvement since the week before and was listening, raising his hand answering questions. He was engaged in his co op class, participating and following directions. At hockey practice he did everything the coach was instructing the kids to do. This is a kid who would wander off, constantly needing to move, fidget, randomly sing to himself. My mom even mentioned how she was able to read him a long story and he stayed focused the whole time. I highly recommend for any kid like mine. Only negative is he hates the taste.

My 7 year old just finished the first box. She likes the taste and even says "Yay!" when I pull out the box! She has also been getting Nordic Naturals Children's DHA strawberry flavored liquid daily and we recently switched her to the Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Junior strawberry softgels for the increased levels. I haven't specifically noticed an improvement in focus/memory with her taking this product overall, however she used to complain about going to school, complained about how boring it was, would come home saying what a terrible/boring day she had at school and wished she was at home with me, and just plain old didn't like school, except for free times, recess, art, gym, and music. She does well academically, but listening to/remembering instructions has always been difficult for her. For the past couple of weeks, she has been talking about how much fun she's having at school, she hasn't been complaining about going to school anymore, she actually hussles up to get ready in the morning (something she's never done!) and every day after school, she talks about how fast the school days go because she's having so much fun. So. Does it improve focus and memory? I don't know for sure, maybe the timing of being so close to the end of the school year and how the teacher is conducting class may have changed, but I think it actually might help! I do want to ask her teacher if she has noticed an improvement with my daughter's listening skills. I am ordering another box. UPDATE: I wanted to give it a couple of weeks without this to see if it really was working. Big mistake!!!! I hadn't noticed just how much better she was actually doing until taking her off of it! I've been back to wanting to rip my hair out! I cannot wait for my shipment to come in so she can start taking this again and just wish it didn't take a couple of weeks to start working. I never should have tried without it!

We started out on Adderall for my daughter who has high functioning Autism and ADHD, inattentive type. She has a hard time focusing in school or getting any work done that requires extra effort or discipline. Unfortunately, Adderall didn't work and gave her intense mood swings, so we stopped it. After some research, I found Creekside's Focus Mind Jr and loved the stimulant free, organic ingredients. She absolutely hated the taste and gagged on it. However, we stuck through it and shortly after starting Focus Mind Jr, her teachers expressed that they noticed some improvement in her work. She didn't require as much prompting and was able to independently do her work without constant redirection. I was thrilled about the news so we continued the medication. This company stopped producing the Jr. version for a while due to an industry wide ingredient shortage. When I reached out to the company, they recommended us to try Focus Mind Max since my daughter was over 8 years of age. My daughter loves the gummy flavor and has been on Max for a couple of months. We just had her IEP meeting and I was disheartened to hear that her current focus and attention span was worse than it was before we started any medications. Max didn't work for her. This is why I gave 3 stars. 1 star for Max and 4 stars for Jr. I am hoping others will have better luck than us. There's only one way to know if it'll work, and that is to try it, because our children deserve to be the best versions of themselves. I am hoping this medication helps everyone who reads this review because I know how hard it is as a parent to have a child(ren) who lack focus. Good luck

I wanted to like this product, I was really excited about the reviews thinking it would help my 8 year old settle down. Instead it had the absolute opposite effect! It caused him to act out so bad in fact that he did things in school he would never do and was sent to the vice principal’s office!! My son!! I realized lying in bed tossing and turning wondering what happened to my child that the only thing that changed was what I had given him and that another parent mentioned her kid having a similar reaction. Keep a close eye on your kids!

My 7 year old son has diagnosed ADHD, and one of his biggest struggles since he was 2 years old has been emotional regulation. He's such a sweet, tender little guy, but his anger and devastation at the smallest things was so frustrating for us and him. He'd get so angry he would hit, kick and spit at his siblings, which at 7 is not age appropriate. We tried weekly therapy which he is still in and loves, but we didn't see a very significant improvement. We decided to try medication for his quality of life, but our insurance wouldn't approve anything except for one medicine which he reacted poorly to (it made him grumpy and mean) Out of desperation I went the natural/vitamin route figuring its worth a shot. Oh my gosh 😭💗 I am SO eternally grateful for this product. We're half way through our 3rd box which puts him at about 2.5 months of focused mind jr. He takes it as instructed, one in the morning and one at night. It was around the 2 month mark when I suddenly realized his emotional regulation is SIGNIFICANTLY improved. I think the improvement was slow, and since I'm with him all day everyday (we homeschool to help meet his academic needs with adhd) I didn't notice the slow change, but once it got to a certain point of improvement, I thought back and compared his behavior to a few months prior and realized the difference is day and night. I decided to write this review because I was chatting with my mom, who is very close to my kids, and she mentioned how well my son is doing and how he seems so happy and regulated. I told her I was happy to hear she noticed too, because I was thinking maybe it was all in my head (because it seriously seems too good to be true). She encouraged me to write a review, because isn't that how most of us decided to give a product a try? As far as being able to focus on school work, I can't say if it has improved for him because we do school in short spurts, and he has all my attention on him, opposed to a teacher handling a classroom of kids, so it's hard for me to say whether he has improved there, but holy crap, the emotional regulation is literally just.. so amazing. I feel like my sweet little boy can finally truly be himself and navigate life easier. He's having an easier time making friends, playing with siblings and friends, and his confidence is definitely improving. I am so grateful for this product and if you're on the fence, just try it for 3 months. It's a very small financial investment compared to other vitamin adhd kits I've purchased, and this is the first thing that has gone above and beyond any results we could've hoped for. I hope this helps your little one the way it did mine 🤩

I was told my son lacked focused when he started Kindergarten. As he grew older, we noticed it wasn't so much he lacked focused, but that he can easily get distracted but can easily be re-directed. I found these online by doing research and have been giving them to him since he was 4, he is now 9. This has worked like a charm for us, better than getting him medicated by a doctor. You have to give it time and be consistent with it. It does take about 30 days for you to see full results. And it takes more than one pack for it to work. I have never stopped giving it to him. And ever since he has been on it, we have seen improvements. Also, we haven't had any complaints from a teacher ever since his last incident in Kinder. I would def recommend and trust the process! Just make sure you are giving your child one tablet in the am and one in the pm just as directed in back of the box.

Dose work well with hyper kids hard to dissolve so only give to kids that like to chew tablets. Great flavor
