Navigating School Transitions With Chiropractic Care
Starting school brings unique stressors for both kids and parents! From wearing uniforms and learning to tie shoelaces to adjusting to backpacks, new teachers, classrooms, routines, and the demands of sitting still, reading, writing, and making new friends—these changes can be exciting but overwhelming for some children.
During this stage of development, children are still developing their prefrontal cortex and the left side of their brain, which is responsible for:
- Logic, Structure, Order
- Problem Solving
- Fine Motor Skills
- Maths, Science and other detailed learning
Understanding Behaviour In Growing Kids
Behaviour is always a window into the developing brain and nervous system. Kids starting school may experience issues with:
- Emotional and behavioural regulation
- Sitting still in class
- Focus
- Poor fine motor skills (handwriting)
- Poor Oculomotor control (reading)
- Sleep
- Tummy aches or other digestive issues
- Poor Posture
Many of the above issues can be traced back to an imbalance and poor regulation of the autonomic nervous system (stuck in fight or flight) as well as gaps in optimal development such as retained primitive reflexes.
Our 5-step Clinical Process is designed to uncover the root cause of your child’s struggles. We utilise state-of-the-art INSiGHT Scans, functional brain testing, postural and chiropractic exams to gain comprehensive understanding into your child.
