Book excerpt: Move beyond conventional treatment of children's learning, behavior and mood problems... Motivated by the staggering number of children with learning, behavior and mood problems who are not being helped by the traditional treatment approach, Dr. Gluckman offers a proven and effective drug-free option. Dr. Gluckman's treatment program challenges the traditional, compartmentalized approach that labels children with multiple diagnoses and treats them with medication. She strongly advocates using medication as a last resort for children with these problems. Based on many years of experience working with parents and children of all ages, Dr. Sandy Gluckman has observed that there is a problem-free child with a healthy spirit, body and brain, trapped behind the layers of learning, behavior and mood symptoms. Dr. Gluckman describes a healthy and safe way of freeing this child. The unique aspect of Dr. Gluckman's treatment solution is that stress is seen as the original trigger for all learning, behavior and mood symptoms. She describes how stress impacts the child's spirit and how this will negatively impact the physiological and neurochemical functioning of the body and brain. In this book she guides the reader, methodically through her 3-Step Parents, Take Charge program. The reader will learn exactly how to find and treat the stress and the underlying physiological causes of the child's symptoms. Her NeuroParenting toolbox gives the reader parenting skills to balance the child's chemistry, as part of their daily routine. The book is written in an easy-to-read, engaging way, complete with illustrations that explain the content. It is filled with research, information, stories and case studies that bring to life the benefits of this drug-free treatment program. The content is based on a synthesis of the newest research and insights drawn from functional medicine, interpersonal neurobiology, psychology and neuroscience as well as Dr. Gluckman's own clinical experience.

Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
