Helping
Kids Start Off On The Right Foot
How will your
child react to the next writing assignment, mistake, disappointment?
Between the new teachers, classrooms, classmates, schedule, germs,... and
leaving summer behind, the first days of school are very stressful even
for homeschoolers. Nerves are restless, senses heightened, emotions
piqued. Children become so vulnerable in these first few days, they need
all the support you can offer to get off on the right foot. We provide
safe, non toxic, non addictive, non invasive ways to help
them do and feel their best through all the mental, emotional and physical
challenges of school. |
General
Support
While
all the cell salts have their place in our health plan,
one stands out as irreplaceable for children aged 0-21 and
beyond.
Calc
phos helps the body resolve growing pains, study
headaches, acute anemia, and many more symptoms related to
growing up.
Elasticity
Tissue G helps stretching veins, bones, muscles and
other tissues keep their flexibility while advancing
inches every year.

Nerve
Support
Responses
designed to save our lives in emergencies, get in the way of
doing our best. Our stomachs flutter, our nerves quiver, our
minds dull or tense. These solutions can calm the turmoil and
free the mind to succeed:
|
|
Nervous
Tension Tissue P and Insomnia Tissue A
both offer calming
fundamental cell salt support.
Anxiety
#320 is the simplest combination for any nerves. While most
schools do not allow children to take even homeopathic
medicines with them, a dose before they get on the bus will go
far.
A
little Rescue Remedy (or personal combination of the
Bach remedies) can be added to their water bottles to bring out the
positive side all day long.

Preventive
Support
For
reducing susceptibility to colds and flu:
The
best known is Oscillococcinum -
Boiron's famous flu support
and prevention.

Cold
Solutions with Zinc #399 - By combining the immune system
support mineral Zinc with the healing powers of homeopathy,
this tablet helps any cold it touches.

threat of a cold away.

Opportunity
Knocks
When
you find the remedy that best fits the whole person, you can
see the true powers of homeopathy bloom - though for some, not
always in a day or a week... depending on the case. Stressful
situations offer insights to people that can point right to
their solutions.
As
Miranda Castro offers clear insightful details on remedies in
specific situations, many of the following references are
inspired by or taken directly from her books, especially A
Homeopathic Guide to Stress
Performance
Nerves:
Arsenicum
alb - #1 Worrier's remedy. Anxious, restless and fussy. Dislikes being in
a situation where they aren't in control. Increasingly fussy and critical when
anxious.
Gelsemium
- Anxious and sluggish. Seize up both mentally and physically, becoming
almost literally paralyzed with anxiety dull and dopey especially before
an exam or a public-speaking event.
Lycopodium
- Anxious, lacking in self-confidence. Dread taking on new things
(jobs/schools), exams, public-speaking. Irritable, indecisive but when the
time comes, they shine.
Nat
mur - Anxious socially. Hates parties and gets wound up before an event
where there are going to be lots of people.
Silica
- Anxiety with poor self-confidence in bashful but strong-willed people. They
don't believe they can perform well.
Concentration
Issues - Study & Fatigue
Does
your restless child feel blank when trying to concentrate, so he fidgets
instead? If yes, Gelsemium can bring clarity.
Does
your child get headaches from studying or concentrating? Calc phos could be
the key.
Is
your bright but busy child making more calculation errors than seems apt?
That could easily be a Nux vom case.
If
the errors are more in writing, look up Lycopodium, particularly if
he's a
born worrier and is timid except at home.
Is
your child just too jittery, frazzled or depressed to excel? Kali phos could
be just what you need.
Is
your child just too excitable, too energetic or too worried to study? That
restlessness might settle with Phosphorus.
Bach's
Study Solutions
Bach
Flower Essences offer natural balancing, safe, absolutely non-addictive
support for children and adults. Think of them as emotional trainers. You can
make your children the perfect combination for their particular needs so they
can take their best into every situation. Here are some ideas from one
of our homeopathic consultants:
Nerves:
A
mix of Mimulus
and Cerato
can help steady the nerves and ease the pressure for exams, add Clematis
and/or White
Chestnut to help with concentration and Larch
for lack of self confidence.
Learning
difficulties?
Chestnut
bud is indicated for repeated errors. If indecision and uncertainty are
holding them back, Scleranthus
can bring out the positive side.
Free:
Remember you get a free dropper bottle with every 4 essences you order.
Can't
decide?
There's
always the combination Rescue
Remedy, designed to help you accentuate the positive and calm the nerves.
Need
some connecting time?
Taking
time to go through the Bach
Flower Essence Questionnaire with your child can be a fun way to gain
insight into how each of you view the other¹'s personalities.
