One of the most important ways that we help families is by supporting children who are chronically stressed, anxious, angry, overwhelmed, and/or overstimulated. Chinese medicine is highly effective at calming the nervous system, helping children feel calm in their bodies rather than overly excited.
In case you don’t remember… being a child is not easy! Children suffer a world of stimulation and difficult situations whether they are in preschool or elementary school and beyond. These can include:
- Sibling concerns and the need for attention
- Interpersonal dynamics with peers (including hitting/biting/name calling incidents)
- High levels of noise and activities in learning environments
- Learning to hear “no” and handle frustration
- Expectations for how they are supposed to act in certain situations (such as prolonged sitting and quiet activities at school) and how quickly they are supposed to move through transitions
