The Zones of Regulation help children manage their emotions in an easy and practical way. Many children struggle with emotional regulation, which can have an impact on their daily lives. The Zones of Regulation is a cognitive-behavioural method created by Leah Kuhpers, M.A. ED, OTR/L. It helps children and young people learn how to recognise and regulate their emotions every day.

A new approach to addressing children’s mental health: Focus on gut health. Walsh Nutrient Therapy is highly effective for working with mental health. Walsh also identifies five distinct biotypes of depression, rather than one, each with a different biochemistry, requiring different treatment. This is why the ‘one size fits all’ approach of SSRI antidepressants does not work for everyone.

How To Support Your Child’s Immunity This Winter

After a wonderfully hot summer the days are becoming shorter and winter is on the horizon. During this time many of us can fall prey to the common cold or flu. There are however many things you can do to support your child’s immunity ahead of the winter months.

As school begins again in the next few weeks, it can bring challenges for all children, let alone for those with learning difficulties.
