Does Eating Ghee Calm Hyperactive Children?
Hello Doctor,
My grand daughter is four and half year old. She is very hyperactive. She hits the children in her school. We keep getting lot of complains from the school. Other children do not want to play with her as she get angry very quickly.
I would like to know if I give her home made ghee from butter, will this help her to calm down?

Hello,
Your grand daughter needs behavioural change. She needs psychotherapy so that she can learn to control her anger and behave appropriately in social situations. Do not encourage this kind of behaviour. Is she prone to temper tantrums also? Talk to her in a gentle but firm manner when she is angry, disruptive or abusive. Do not pamper her or give in to her demands.
Make sure the home environment is peaceful. Is there any one in your family who is aggressive or controlling by nature? Children often imitate behaviour that they see at home. The entire family must try to discipline her. It will be better if you consult a psychotherapist who will guide you how to deal with difficult children. Hope this will help you to solve your problem. Giving ghee or butter will not really help in this situation.
