Helpful Tips for Parents
- Encourage Your Child to Talk About Worries
Explain that it is okay to feel worried sometimes. Telling children not to worry, might make them think they are doing something wrong to feel anxious, or might increase their level of anxiety. - Redirect the Child’s Attention
Try to do something together, like playing their favorite game, reading their favourite book or telling their favourite story. - Active Listening
Allow your child to feel comfortable to speak openly, do not interrupt their story and show your genuine attention and participation. If they are not ready to share in that moment, give them some time and let them know you support them. - Stick to Routines
Many kids do not like change. Sticking to regular daytime and bedtime routines will help them feel more confident and secure. Make sure they are getting enough sleep. Quality sleep will allow your child’s nervous system to rest and restore at night. Rocking a baby before bedtime, telling a story or softly singing a lullaby is very soothing and will help your baby feel loved and safe. - Get Outdoors
Physical exercise especially outdoors is a great way for children to take their minds off of stressful situations that may be affecting their mood. A few simple inclusive activities for the whole family can include a short walk, bike ride, volleyball game, or swim. - Encourage Nutritious Food Choices
Strive to eat simple, yet nutritious meals at consistent time intervals to prevent blood sugar fluctuation. Include vegetable and animal protein like beans and fish, good fats (organic cold pressed olive oil, avocado) and complex carbs (buckwheat, brown rice, quinoa). - Avoid Overscheduling
Too many activities can easily lead to stress and anxiety in children with sensitive nervous systems. It is important children have time to relax between school, soccer practice, music lessons and swim class. - Be an Example
Remember, children look up to you. They sense when you are stressed or worried. It is impossible to eliminate the stress from our lives but, you can teach your child successful ways to relax. Listen to soft soothing music, or try relaxing yoga poses and stretching. Homeopathic medicine can help you and your child feel better and reduce stress naturally. - Consult a Counselor or Pediatrician
If you expect some big changes in your family life such as a new sibling, a move, or separation, ask an expert how to support your child through these transitional times. From my experience working with children and parents, homeopathy can help to make a smooth transition from preschool to kindergarten, from kindergarten to primary school, from middle school to high school, and high school to university or college.
