The percentage of drugs that children take for ADHD has gone up dramatically.

I have no judgement about this.  Physicians are doing what they can to help children who feel inattentive, high energy and are having a difficult time integrating into mainstream daily life.

On top of the child’s own inherent challenges, they often can face rejection by other children, teachers and their community as well.

So what else can be done to help our children?

How about trying a more natural approach that will support the best qualities of your child to shine ?

Craniosacral Therapy has been able to help lots of kids with ADHD to calm down and feel more centered.  Personally,  there is nothing better than having a child get up off the table and give me a big hug because they finally have a sense of peace and balance.  If we can encourage the child to lay down and receive the work, the Central Nervous System often will feel some huge shifts.  By working with the brain, spine, and surrounding tissues, we can assist the cerebrospinal fluid to function optionally, allowing the CNS to do its work more efficiently.

When one’s mind is busy, one of the best experiences can be to relax and feel quiet.

If you would like to try a Craniosacral Session, look at the Upledger site for a practitioner in your area.  I’d recommend looking for someone who is certified to make sure they have a thorough understanding of the work.

If you have questions about how Craniosacral can help alleviate some of  your child’s ADHD symptoms, I would love to chat.
