Growing Pains

My 3 year old (nearly 5, he keeps telling me) son has been complaining about sore legs and feet lately, and as a busy Mum I brushed it off as wingeing or laziness (he wants me to carry him everywhere). But it turns out that even at 3 kids can experience growing pains. So after a bit of asking around here is the remedy I've found to be effective;

Age appropriate doses of magnesium - for muscle development
Arnica rubbed into his legs paying particular attention to joints, ie knees and ankles.
A good kids multi-vitamin, there are lots on the market, I just kept trying different ones until my kids found one that they like the taste of - they are called vitamin-lollies in my house!

Hope that helps!
