Soothe the ache and discover why.
I was at a loss, my son in Year 3 suddenly developed separation anxiety being dropped at school.
He needed me to physically hand him over to his kind teacher and it was distressing for us both. I wish I knew then, what I know now – there is a way to shed light on the issue.
Kinesiology could help us and release the emotions both he and I were feeling. In my practice as a Kinesiologist I have worked with many children and their mothers with the challenge of separation and this personal experience has helped me to understand and relate to how my clients are feeling.
- The situations vary from the child’s and/or Mum’s fears and beliefs, to co-dependency.
- I’m afraid that Mum will forget to pick me up (often from a past experience).
- Mum can’t manage without me.
- The memory of a movie or story creating fear of safety.
- Being in a constant state of high alert from a traumatic event ( e.g. Getting lost, being left in a car out of a parents sight).
- Feeling overlooked and wanting more time with Mum.
- Jealousy of younger siblings at home with Mum and feeling left out.
- Parents projecting their anxiety and fears to the child.
How do we build independent children who are able to express themselves?
- Discover the underlying issue. This is often sub-conscious and accessing the innate knowledge of the body can reveal this.
- Release the anxiety on a physical, emotional and energetic level.
- Help parents to deal with their own fears for their child that may be contributing to insecurity.
- Choose encouraging language to promote confidence, trust and safety.
- Nurture the whole person giving the child enough quality time, sufficient sleep and nutrition for the brain and body.
The relief felt by both carer and child when a child feels safe and happy is life changingThere is a solution, take the step and make a change.
