HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned about the use of a medication in a young child.
Mood calm is suppose to relieve irritability and mood swings in users however it has to be taken every 30 minutes and this is unlikely to be something that any child is willing to do. This would be frequent dosing even when she is at school.
In addition though it is safe for all ages, at present there is no conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness.
I hope this helps
