Summer is full of outdoor activities and memorable adventures. But it’s also a time when our children are more exposed to various environmental toxins, like chlorine from swimming pools, chemicals in sunscreens, etc. These toxins can add a significant load to their bodies, exacerbating ADHD symptoms.

In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, discover how to have a non-toxic summer (and how to safely and effectively detox from any toxins your child might be exposed to).

Memorable Moments:

”During the summer, children are often more active and spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, which, while very beneficial for kids with ADHD, also increases their exposure to various environmental toxins.”

”Because children’s bodies are still developing, they are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of chemical exposures. Their smaller size, higher rates of metabolism, and the fact that they’re closer to the ground (where some toxins settle) further increase their risk.”

”Though chlorine isn’t ideal, there are things you can do to help your  kids detox those chemicals before and after swimming.”

”You can still use sunscreen but choose a cleaner brand and this will go a long way in reducing your child’s overall toxic load!”

”It’s much easier to limit a child’s toxic exposure when they’re at home with us under our supervision, but many of our kids will also be going to summer camps so we need to think about this too.“

”The goal is to support the body’s natural detoxification processes, which include the liver, kidneys, digestive system, and skin, in a gentle and supportive way.”

”Remember, small tweaks can make a significant impact.”
