Today, we are far more aware of how and when our children may not be adequately coping in their education environment. Of course, we can also see them flourishing – today, children are not typically seen and not heard. However, there are large gaps where class numbers are too big and the emphasis on passing exams and grades overtakes the joy and inquisitivity of learning.
Social media and the wide use of mobile phones adds to these complexities in a child, parents and teachers lives.
So how can Homeopathy help?
We may as adults have realisations of trauma in our own past educational systems that now also need to be healed – so my work spreads not just to today’s children that we might immediately think of, but to teenagers and adults.
These are the typical situations I work with in patients, who are, or may have, struggled in school or any form of education. Firstly however, above the list below, I find that low self-esteem is an urgent and key area to work with.
- Anxiety
- Sleep
- Understanding masking
- Meltdowns
- Friendship and Relationship Challenges
- Concentration Difficulties, Brain Fog and other mood states, including depression
- Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Autism, ADHD and other learning difficulties
- Speech and Communication
A homeopathic consultation and potential work with the parents, as well as the children, allows the time and full understanding of the whole picture in a way that may make such a difference, yet has not been managed enough to date. We look at the importance and relevance of how each individual’s symptoms play out, and accommodate and value these differences into key important aspects to work with.
Self esteem and anxiety are so often the key underlying areas that I work on, that can support so well. A fair amount of my work relates to the need of un-suppressing trauma that may be so much part of the picture, and a Homeopathic approach does this crucial work in such a gentle and sensitive way. Waitlists for therapy recommended by the medial profession and schools maybe too long to wait and Homeopathy can be a great starting point at this very difficult stage.
Homeopathy does not have the side effects and complications that many patients experience with their current medical prescriptions, which are either being offered or taken as the only other option provided so far. Whilst prescribed medication can provide change of chemical activity at brain level, it cannot reach a balanced approach within the gut, where our neuro-transmitters, in particular, are made and need attention.
Another lovely aspect of Homeopathy is that it works alongside conventional medication well, and this can be so reassuring on so many levels.
