There have been a large number of studies attesting effects of increasing Omega-3 fatty acids. Here is a list of some of these benefits that relates to Omega-3 For Children:
Aggression: A new study of teenagers has found that fish oil and DHA consumption relates to lower hostility rates in teenagers. Hostility has been shown to predict the development and manifestation of heart disease.

Throughout pregnancy, omega3’s supply ‘brain food’ to the fetus, as important brain and eye development takes place during fetal development, continuing well into the child’s infant years.
