Experiences with emotional and behavioral patterns of kids gone raw?!

Hello!

I m wondering if any of you has experienced their kids changing their emotional and behavioral patterns after eating raw for a while. I m questioning because some months ago I insisted my parents not to give him meat and sausage any more. This has been quite a struggle because especially my father believes you cannot survive without meat and sausage. I experienced significant changes with my nearly 3 yr. old boy. He s never been a good sleeper but we had an improvement from awakening and crying at night from about 10 times down to 2 to 5 times a night. Also his mood has changed towards beeing more balanced and less anger and defiance.

I m wondering if going raw would make another difference??!!

Myself I m trying to eat mainly raw vegan, but still cooking (not because of conviction but so far I couldn t manage to give up). Though the more I read about it the more I think it s also about changing the life style and I bought some recipe books (raw!) to get ideas for raw recipes to be less helpless in the kitchen when it comes to preparing food. My experiences with my son eating raw are very different. sometimes i m questioning what on earth he might want toeat??? But I m figuring out that big questions are: 1. is he really hungry? (not always easy to let him wait till he s hungry cause the grandparents are next door....) 2. the surrounding: he s eating berries in the garden and sorrel in the meadow but having it on his plate he doesn t like it....

I m eager to read your comments

    Hi Sorrel

    I believe that food has almost everything to do with behaviour in children.

    I have the full time care of my 7 year old grandson who has multiple behaviour problems (ADHD ODC etc) and lots of food intolerances.

    I have found that the cleaner his diet (as in almost no chemicals, and very little processed food) the less of the problem behaviour I see, and the more calm and in control of himself he seems to be.

    I am new to raw food, but am slowly including more and more raw food and less cooked food in our diet. It is still too early to tell what the effects are going to be, and I suspect that I will not see any major shifts until he is eating mostly raw food

    I am so grateful for groups like this one that allow mw to access recipes and other folks experiences.
