Your Child’s Health

When people ask me what I do for a living, I often reply with, “I help people to resolve their problems.” And it’s true, I do, but people
just don’t realise what is possible to change their health and life for the better.

You don’t have to be classed as mentally ill before you seek the help of a therapist, trainer or coach. If you have a problem that affects you in any way, the chances are that it can be helped and often resolved, by using various safe techniques. Some of these techniques are commonplace and available everywhere, others are more difficult to find however they are out there.

I’m writing this because during the past week I have seen and heard many problems that could have been avoided. It’s as if people know and experience their problems but either don’t want to resolve them or don’t know where to go for help. What tends to happen in situations like this is that the problem gets worse until people are forced into taking action. Sadly, this forced action is often not be the best way forward.

The idea for this months letter came from seeing (and hearing) a child screaming as his mother held him down for a hairdresser to cut his hair. Both the mother and child were clearly distressed with all that was happening however what else could they do? At the time, the mother only had two choices available to her, to leave her son with long hair or, to have the hair cut and suffer the consequences. Hopefully all of you reading this will know that there are other choices.

Wouldn’t it be great if the mother of this child knew ways to eliminate her child’s fear quickly, easily and safely? Even if she didn’t know how to resolve the problem herself, it would be very beneficial for her and everyone involved if they knew who to contact for help. Sadly, instead of a happy ending, mother and child experienced all kinds of negative emotions, would have felt physically drained and will be dreading the next time they have to go through it all again.

In many situations there are often quick and simple ways to resolve problems. By using certain techniques, the child could have been sitting in the chair with a smile on his face having his hair cut and this could have been achieved in a minute or two. How much better for the child would that have been?

On a similar note, I read about an eight-year-old girl who died because she had such a fear of dentists that she refused to open her mouth to eat. Even after being sedated in hospital and having all her teeth removed, the poor little girl still refused to eat. If only her parents, doctors, and teachers knew of some simple techniques that could have helped her.

Is helping your children worth the price of a book, a phone call or a training course?

Psychological techniques can be more than sitting in a chair talking through problems. Some therapists may do that but the people I work with and myself don’t do that. We are more interested in resolving the problem, not learning why there is a problem. This is also true of some physical conditions.

Psychological techniques work for all kinds of conditions and are safe to use with children and young babies, there is no sitting and talking about problems with them! It is even possible to help unborn babies such as if they are breech. Teething pain can be reduced without drugs as can the pain and shock of accidents, falls and bangs. And as for all the fears children may have, well that should be child’s play.

I would love to see a day when all parents know some simple, quick, effective, techniques to help their children. We know to clean a cut and put a plaster on it; in time people will see the benefits of first aid for the mind.

Have you read some of the other articles on how your emotions can affect your physical health? Some are on the website and others are often sent FREE of charge with Your Infinite Mind Newsletter.

This is a subject Infinite Mind is very passionate about and, in the future, we may create a specific workshop for parents to help themselves and their little angels. In the meantime go and take a look at the Primary TFT course where you will learn many safe and effective ways to help your entire family, quickly.
