Is It Safe To Give Attentive Child Supplement To A Four Year Old Child?

I have a 4 yr old granddaughter who is a bit "active" . she is very smart and tall and a bit heavy for her age. people think she is older and expect her to act accordingly. she just started pre-K and I am concerned about her being able to focus. a friend of mine told me about a natural supplement called Attentive Child. What are some things I should be concerned about this product and do you recommend it.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
It is not at all desirable to start supplements or medications in a 4 year old child, without consult a Paediatrician.
All the medications have some kind of side effects, and unless there is a diagnosis of ADHD , you should not attempt self medication at all.
I would suggest a visit to a paediatrician, though it is quite common for children of this age to fidget and be overactive.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
