Now, more than ever, it is time for parents to take charge of the way that their children’s learning and behavior issues are being treated.
Frightening numbers of children are struggling with issues like underachievement, low motivation, meltdowns, bullying, anxiety, behavior problems, depression, OCD, ADHD, autism, eczema, asthma, allergies, low immune system … and others. Here’s my take on why this is happening:
- 95% of all learning, behavior and mood conditions that children are experiencing are triggered by stress. And yet the fact that stress is causing and worsening these issues is often ignored and underplayed.
- Instead we have been misled to believe that when children have a learning, behavior or mood problem, they have a ‘disorder’ which has a name and an appropriate medication. This is incorrect! Learning, behavior or mood problems that children experience are not disorders – they are symptoms of stress.
- When we identify and treat the underlying stress triggers, the child’s learning and behavior issues are significantly improved and, in many cases reversed. The problem is that mainstream medicine is drugging the symptoms instead of identifying and removing the stress.
Parents, your children need you to be their strongest advocate. They need you to Take Charge! and be updated and fully informed about the role that stress is playing in their lives. Above all they need you to have the skills to reduce stress in their lives.
How?
Begin by understanding that if your child has attention, behavior or mood issues, this suggests that your child experiences life as stressful. This stress can throw your child’s wonderful spirit and body out of balance. It is up to you to equip yourself with the very latest information and skills that will help you prevent, and heal, stress-related conditions in your children.
