The only basics you need ☀️🌸
Vulnerability
🤍 My Story: Melatonin has always made my kids mean and irritable. Well this past week I will NEVER AGAIN give them melatonin. It is a synthetic hormone that is foreign to your body and your child’s. The body cannot properly break it down, but I have the best product that will. My kids have been on Kids Mood + and Kids Calm through Amare Global.
Sunday night we were headed home from Boston to Orlando, and an hr away from landing, my daughter had a severe seizure mid flight. Got sick and depleted all her sugars and made her very sick and unresponsive. Flight crew got me some orange juice and she started to come back. Cleaned her up and landed with EMS waiting for us when we arrived.
My 7 year old has Right Frontal Lobe Epilepsy. When she hits a RIM sleep her brain siezes, causing her to have nighttime seizures. This was one of those!
🤍 How I Felt: Panicked/scared/helpless
🤍 My Takeaways: It may have not been the melatonin exactly, but I know every time they had it, they were a different child all together!

Melatonin, while often used to help children sleep, can lead to unexpected side effects, as I learned the hard way during a challenging travel experience with my daughter. Instead, I found effective alternatives like Kids Mood + and Kids Calm. Unlike synthetic melatonin, these products are melatonin-free and include natural ingredients such as 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and magnesium to promote relaxation and restful sleep without grogginess. Using a combination of vitamin B6, B12, and vitamin D3, these alternatives support calming processes in children, aiming for a better sleep experience without adverse reactions. This journey has motivated me to advocate for better sleep solutions for kids, emphasizing the importance of understanding what’s in the products we give them. Parents should consider carefully reviewing ingredients in sleep aids for their children, seeking options that ensure safety and well-being. The right choices can significantly impact their mood and overall health.
