Children's Services
As parents it is difficult to see our kids struggle with:
• Stress
• Friendships
• School
• Transitions to new family or school situations
• Health troubles
• Emotional control
• Challenges with gross and fine motor skills, coordination or posture
• Finding their place in the world.
We know that growing up isn’t always easy. And when we’re out of parenting
strategies we wonder where to turn. Imagine the power of simple tools your child can
use when life brings them challenges.
Private yoga classes can renew a love of movement and begin to release the
inevitable buildup of stress which can weigh down the smallest of shoulders. Special
needs children are encouraged to develop yoga skills to enhance their life skills.
CranioSacral Therapy is well known for helping calm the nervous system and relieve
the chronic strain of injuries at birth and during childhood.
Emotional Safety and Feng Shui for Children’s Rooms
Creating a sanctuary for your child through Feng Shui can help support their growth through all
the stages of childhood. Creating a room for your child that is a safe place to go to when
challenged and a safe place from which to go out and meet the world from as they spread your
wings is one of our parental responsibilities.
A child’s room can help support the following as needed:
* health and growth
* calmness/stability
* clarity/focus/learning
* respect/love for nature
* sociability/expressiveness
* fearlessness/safety/security
Children can be easily distracted by movement such as from an open door, television, clock,
lights, the content of pictures, windows, curtains/blinds or even slanted ceilings. Sounds from
the house or outside or traffic can feed their imaginations. The surfaces and textures they are
in contact with such as clothing, sheets, and the weight of the bed coverings are important
distractions to a child at night. Room temperature, fatigue, hunger, thirst and household smells
are amplified when alone in bed at night.
Children have vivid imaginations and take many things literally depending on their age.
Shadows and sounds can join with the scary movie, story or news content of the day to create a
very scared, fearful child at bedtime. A child may be fascinated by things that scare them,
unable to stop thinking about them. If the things they are surrounded by at bedtime are
supporting this, their fears can become overwhelming and spill over into acting out, mild
physical complaints or school difficulties. Also, the things they have in their rooms and how
they interact with them can be mirroring a problem outside of the home.
Spend time with your children in their rooms. See things through their eyes from their
perspective, especially from their place in bed at night. Look for movement, sound or surface
irritations. Talk with your child about their room, what is in it and how it makes them feel inside.
If they express a fear or concern calmly ask for more information, allowing the story to unfold.
Giving your child appropriate choices for their rooms and encouraging them to have things
around them that make them feel good is good Feng Shui!
