Imagine if you could permanently improve your child’s attention, memory, school performance, and behavior. Well, that’s just what Focus Education claimed its Jungle Rangers computer game could do - with as little as 12 hours of play. 

As they say in infomercial-land, “But wait, there’s more.” Focus Education said they had a pilot study to prove their claims. But the FTC is calling foul. It says the study **doesn’t** support the company’s promises. Focus Education has agreed to [settle the FTC’s charges](http://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2015/01/makers-jungle-rangers-computer-game-kids-settle-ftc-charges-they?ref=foodconsumer.org). Under the settlement, the company can’t claim their product improves children’s focus, memory, attention, behavior, and/or school performance **unless** they have scientific evidence to prove it.

You can be skeptical of any product that says it can improve your child’s memory or brain power quickly and easily:

- **Does it claim dramatic results for a variety of problems**? Products that claim to quickly and permanently turn around a poor memory or improve bad grades can’t deliver.
- **Does the ad rely on testimonials?** Testimonials aren’t the same as scientific evidence. If a company claims it has scientific proof that its product can improve your child’s memory, check it out with your child’s doctor or another health professional.
