In my latest Facebook video, I talk about the Four T’s, the fear-based child and the stressed-based child, the five love languages, and the role of chiropractic in calming the nervous system. Here are some highlights of the video:
The Four T’s
Trauma: From falls throughout childhood to small daily traumas like kids wearing backpacks that are too heavy or playing video games with poor posture, traumas can add up.
Toxins: Chemicals in food, those found in cleaning products, and chemicals that are put on the body in the form of toiletries can take a health toll.
Thoughts: From social media and school stress to homework loads and peer pressure, thoughts are what bring most kids into the practice.
Technology: While video games and cell phones are here to stay, setting limits on tech time and taking breaks to play outside can help.
In the video, I dive into each T and talk about how to manage them.
The Fear-Based and Stressed-Based Child
Kids who are fear-based worry about everything and tend to be shy from a young age. They don’t like to interact much, tend to be inward and have low energy. They can become depressed and withdrawn teens.
Stress-based kids have high energy as well as anger and tantrums. They don’t sleep well, and neither do their parents. A stressed-based child has a nervous system that is constantly spinning.
The Five Love Languages
It’s essential to determine what your kids’ love languages are so you can keep their bucket filled. In the video, I talk about each one: gifts, physical touch, acts of services, words of affirmation, and quality time.
Chiropractic Calms the Nervous System
To drive your car, you need both a gas pedal and brake pedal. Anxious kids have a gas pedal that’s always stuck. The brake pedal is the chiropractic adjustment. Our goal is to use chiropractic to help kids function optimally and be happy, healthy and well-adjusted.
