Kiddie Calmer -- uses Aconite and Silica?

Question

Hi all,

My VERY shy little toddler is about to start daycare. Someone recommended that we try K-OK Kiddie Calmer to help her adjust to the situation more smoothly. I looked it up online and am somewhat wary of the two main ingredients: Silica and Aconite. According to my research, aconite acts as a anesthetic and can slow the heart rate, etc. I'm also concerned about silica as I don't know much about it. Here's one of the many websites where it is sold: http://www.manataka.org/page956.html

I'm not a mom who medicates my child at the drop of a hat, so I hesitate putting anything into her that I don't fully understand. Has anyone had any experience with giving a child these ingredients? (Or, even tried a "medication" like Kiddie Calmer?) I appreciate your insight and suggestions!

Answer 1

find a new daycare. ask your friends or co-workers who they use or know of. word of mouth is usually the best way to find a good business. definitely stay away from anyone making it a standard to medicate at daycare, much too much goes on with those types of business so you can't be too careful.

Answer 2

It's homeopathic.  There is nothing in it except the starch pills have had a drop of magic water placed on them...which promptly evaporated.

Save your money.  This is useless.
