Has anyone tried or heard of anything for moody children who also have alot of temper tantrums. I don't want to put him on any meds for obvious reasons, he's only four and not diagnosed with anything. I just want him to feel good and be in a better moood.

He might be having a reaction to yellow dye number 5 or some other horrid food additive.
Maybe he just needs more attention or more exercise.
Please give specific examples of times when he is moody.
Does he have allergies, and constantly feeling bad because of it?
Is there constant noise or heat that's upseting him?

Hi Wolf Dreamer! What is yellow dye number 5? I've just recently got rid of all junk food in our house and replaced it with more natural foods. He gets alot of attention and as far as excercise goes we try to go to an indoor play ground once in awhile and to the indoor pool (I'm in Canada so it's cold here right now). He has seasonal allergies usually in th spring or fall. Constant noise? Only the noise that he and his brother make. Heat? I don't understand. It's hard to pinpoint when exactly he gets moody, it seems like he's always irratable and moody. I guess I should keep a journal or something.

Heat would be a confusing thing for someone in Canada to understand. ;) I'm joking.
Canada is known for its coldness, and even on the hottest of days I don't think you can compare to the sweltering heat of Louisiana. The heat always bothers people if they don't have a good air conditioning system. ours was never much good, and the back of the house where my room was was always hotter than the rest of the house. Made me miserable. And with our paper thin walls I could hear people talking on the other end of the house, driving me insane.
Anyway, yellow dye number 5 is a common food additive I posted a topic about awhile back. Its pure evil, and even some vitamins have it, causing a bad reaction for people. A percentage of those in mental institutions that were put on a proper diet, got better, then got worse again when they started feeding some of them the artificial stuff again.
Do you use any harsh cleaning products? Some are sensitive to various ones of those.
You'll have to see exactly what they eat, and look at the ingrediants. Don't let them have any dorittos, cheese crackers, lemonade, or other things that have yellow dye number 5 in it. Its legal in America, but some European countries have outlawed it. I'm not sure about Canada.
Some places even give it to chickens so their egg yolks become yellower.
Anyway, you need to find out what foods cause their allergies, so keeping a careful list is important. Some people are allergetic to soy, corn, or any number of other common things found everywhere.
Also, does your child act this way after certain people are around? Watch out for bullies. Some adults even thrive on tormenting children, picking on them, making them miserable.
