They Do NOT Grow Out Of It!
Parents, this information may leave you a bit frustrated or upset, but I need to address a problem that’s been going on for far too long. Standard health professionals have been telling parents that certain conditions are just a part of childhood and that their children will grow out of them.
However, this is not the case.
If you have been up all night with your child who is experiencing colic, chronic constipation, reflux, or ear infection after ear infection, it’s essential to know that these issues will not simply go away on their own. If your child is struggling with tons of tantrums, meltdowns, developmental delays, and difficulty sleeping, don’t let anyone tell you that it’s just a phase.
I understand that as a parent, you know when something is not right with your child. You may have even been told to wait it out, but I want to assure you that there is more going on, just as your gut is telling you. The science behind these conditions is related to the central and autonomic nervous system.
What Happens When There is Stress Built Up on the Nervous System?
Whether your child is two months old or fifteen years old, we have found that the neurology behind colic, sensory processing issues, autism, ADHD, anxiety, constipation, and chronic autoimmune challenges are the same.
It all comes down to the nervous system being stressed, and stuck in fight or flight.
This is why it’s so important to look for the root cause of their challenges instead of just labelling it and sending you and your child off to different specialists. By focusing on calming the overactive and overstimulated sympathetic side of the nervous system in children with these health challenge, we can address the root cause.
If you’re only chasing symptoms, you’re not addressing the root cause. The nervous system controls everything from digestion to immune function, respiratory system, social-emotional regulation, and neurological development. By focusing on the nervous system, you can get everything else figured out.
Challenges you’ve been told your children will “grow out of,” like colic and chronic ear infections, may actually lead to chronic autoimmune challenges, allergies, and a compromised immune system that makes it easy to catch every cold that comes around.
Additionally, behavioural issues like tantrums, meltdowns, and hyperactivity are often dismissed as typical childhood behaviours. But these behaviours may be symptoms of larger issues related to neurological development, and they may cause anxiety, hyperactivity, and emotional challenges in school and later in life.
The Perfect Storm Pathway
Regardless of where you are in this perfect storm pathway, you deserve to know what’s really going on with your child. Keep learning about their health, and consider using advanced technology like our INSiGHT Scans to measure the stress and regulation in the nervous system.
Releasing the stuck stress and lowering sympathetic tone may help your child get out of the “storm” caused by these challenges. Even older children can benefit from this kind of care, as the nervous system remains plastic and can be changed even after years of stress.
Our studio is neurologically focused and uniquely equipped to understand and assess the regulation of the autonomic nervous system. We provide drug-free action steps that may help your child and your family.
If you or someone you know has been told to simply wait and see, please share this information.
