Children's Challenges
ADHD, Autism, Learning Difficuties Armadale
Children face many challenges today. We know about this first hand from our own son who has had numerous labels which in the past have made quite some "alphabet soup". These have included ADHD, ODD, OCD, PDD-NOS, autism, to name a few. You know we'll listen and understand in a non-judgemental way. Parenting is hard work with regular kids, but even more challenging when children have additional obstacles.
The good news is there is a lot of hope and help available. There is much that can be done to help rebalnce the brains of children and get them to optimal functioning. We've seen hundreds of kids glowing with excitement when they return with their new report from school saying how well they are doing in both schoolwork and behaviour. We've had feedback from many releived teachers and parents, amazed and delighted with the improvement in the children.
Some of the challenges we often see with children showing these difficulties, is heavy metal toxicity. The test is as simple sending away a small amount of hair, which is analysed. When the results come back, a specific plan is developed in co-operation with the child, the parent and Paul, to remove the heavy metals and enhance brain function.
If you're thinking of trying to make some dietary changes then Paul can help you with that. It's important to make sure the children still have a healthy and well balanced diet, while you're trying cut out certain types of foods. Paul has lectured in nutrition, and is familiar with many diets around today, so can help and support you in the process.
For various reasons, some children struggle to concentrate. This can lead to poor behaviour - not because the child is naughty at heart, but they just don't seem to be able to hold a thought in their head long enough. Their poor impulse control and hyperactivity over powers them before they had time to stop and think about what they were doing. so much can be done to help kids like this.
We can also offer help and support with the challenges of parenting and setting boundaries and behaviour managment for kids. Sometimes a few visits with Liz to talk things over can really help you refocus your parenting skills, and help take away your guilt. If there's one thing we know, it's that every parent is doing the best they can. Sometimes with a little help and guidance, you can do even better, and have less stress.
