My nephew has been using Calming Drops for a few days now and his dad sees a huge difference in his behaviors. They have tried different products and are liking these ones the best!

TL:DR- THESE WORKED GREAT. worth a shot.<br /><br />😮‍💨 so. We got these yesterday. My daughter will be 3 in May. She is tough. I also have an 11 month old and I'm often nervous for her safety. The 3 year old would never intentionally injure her. But she is explosive. I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and guess MAYBE ADHD? She cannot focus on anything for more then 20 seconds at daycare. She has insanely big feelings. I feel like she cannot hear me at all. She gets fixated on an item I've had to take away. She doesn't like when I move an object that has been brought up. (Like, a small Christmas tree. She becomes obsessed with it and if I move it to where it was intended or out of the way she losses it. Not long term. Just when it's pointed out or she's noticing it). She runs away during diaper changes. She spins a lot. She throws herself on the floor, kicks SCREAMS like ive never heard. Pulls, pushes, gets so worked up she hyperventelates. Breatjing exercizes until recently sent her into bigger tantrums. I cannot take her into stores. She screams in the carriage and wont walk with me at all. Shes a runner. She absolutely cannot hear me. Its possible shes on the spectrum but experiencing her has me lesning away from that. Sensory processing issues maybe but more like overstimulation impeeding issues with hyperactivity. Idk. anyway, I could go on but she's young and explaining every little thing doesn't really paint the picture. She sounds like a normal toddler and these are regular problems unless you yourself also experience these things. I am exhausted. I've tried to gentle parent and the parent I find myself being today is not what I imagined. I yell. I cry. I say things I hate. (No one will want to play with her if she pushes at school or takes things from other people. Those are things that bullys do and shes acting like a bully.) They just dont sit in my heart well. I, myself, have recently added ashwaganda, magnesium, kava tea and most recently cbd gummies to my own routine just to be able to handle her without yelling as much or breaking down everyday and trying to fall back on my own coping and taking a moment to breath and acknowledge her. Shes under 3. Shes not a bad kid. Shes struggling! Its very clear. I can feel it as much as i can see it. I am struggling too along with her. I missed enjoying things with my kids. Right down to story time. It's not 2 books, or 4 books, it's an entire stack of every book she can see. I found myself saying things like "have to read" rather then "get to read" and that has its own way of breaking you. Weekends here were things I felt like I was barely surviving.<br /><br />These drops work. There is NO WAY they don't. For us anyway. I put them in the top of her applesauce pouch at a breaking moment today. She was able to sit still more, she was less combative, less defiant, less moody, less all over the place. She still wanted to dance like a butterfly. She wanted me to as well (and all my vitamins etc... helped me do that too). Like, they worked. We will use then for sure and absolutely will be regulating a subscription... for now. My plan is to use these on the weekends. But Monday I also plan to give her this before school so her EI visits can let me know if they see any changes. That's the ultimate test.<br /><br />Cons: they taste ok. But I imagine a lot of people who have kids with outstanding aversions to foods are the people reaching for something like this. It's certainly no WORSE then zarbees. Probably somewhat reminiscent because it's like grapey but also plants. My other major con is what anything is doing to my kids brain and body. I would trust these enough to try them myself. I had a nurse review the product before I purchased. But this isn't MEDICATION (which is great.) I grew up with a sibling who took medication for ADHD. I think for kids who are still developing, it makes them feel like crap. Not always but often. My sister hated it. However, even with these drops my daughter still said no to coloring. No to stickers. She asked to do art but didn't engage. She just sat and wanted to watch TV. That's great but also pretty upsetting as her parent. I don't want to put out her fire. I do however need a break sometimes. Final issue is it wore off sooner then i hoped and I have no idea if this can be given twice. If it can, I will be doing so on the days we use it. It has a reasonable time span but if this is a once daily thing then i will only get half the day of a stable child. The ither half will be just one meltdown after the other. The chamomile will work for her whether or not it's given daily. About halfway through the day she started losing the control she seemed to have gained. She also skipped nap. It didn't help calm her enough for that. Idk how it will effect her sleep tonight having taken it much earlier in the day but I'm interested to see since she often has night terrors too.<br /><br />Big pro: it works. For sure. But it should. It's very basic ingredients here. Magnesium is good for mood and your body in general. Chamomile is THE SLEEPY TIME flower. Like, this stuff works. You juat have to be realistic about what you're expectations are. Most people don't drink tea and pass out. It's just an aid. For me, If this helps her at school, continues to help her at home and doesn't just shut her off completely, then I'll be leaning into this hard for as long as I can. I would do anything to help my kid but there is no right answers when it comes to medical interventions and I think we're all somewhat on the fence. I'd like to avoid those decisions if possible in the first place. For that I can say this stuff is the answer to a prayer and potentially a small miracle.<br /><br />I will definitely update regarding sleep, school, if I'm seeing the same changes, long term effectiveness. If you're a parent facing days like I face then this review could be the only review I ever leave that has any importance. Because this is so so painfully exhausting sometimes.

Great flavor. My son is a picky water and likes this vitamin. Helps him calm down some as well.

Works very well for my autistic child with sleep dysregulation

Our son has pretty bad anxiety at times and I thought this would be great for those times he just needs some extra help to calm down. We only use a very little and it seems to help. He fought me the first time I asked him to try it, but liked the taste (I tried it too) so he will take it when needed now. We use this sparingly and only when needed though.
