Limit Those Child Tantrums With Neurologically-Based Chiropractic Care
Have you noticed that your cute-as-a-button child is throwing more tantrums than usual? Sure, even the sweetest kids we see in our office for neurologically-based chiropractic care in Lewisville can be naughty or lash out occasionally—either because they didn’t get their way, didn’t sleep well the night before, or were hungry after a long car ride. Most parents chalk these events up to simply being kids, and that’s completely normal. But in this instance, you keep getting a sinking feeling that something else is wrong.
Perhaps they suffer from lengthy and seemingly uncontrollable crying spells, meltdowns, tantrums, and emotional outbursts.
And not every few weeks … practically every day, and for seemingly no reason. These fits aren’t just happening at home, either. They occur at school, during otherwise happy birthday parties, and even while playing outside with friends.
Needless to say, you’re at your wit’s end. After all, our children should be bubbly and energetic, not bogged down in negative emotions. And when nothing seems to work from a parenting perspective (time-outs, parenting books, medication, etc.), it’s easy to feel lost. The good news is that Compassion Family Chiropractic may be able to help!
Understanding the Root Cause of Child Tantrums and Behavior Issues
It doesn’t matter how great your home life and school are, how loving you are as a parent, or how young or old your kids are—tantrums will happen. It’s when those emotional outbursts become a consistent and seemingly unbreakable cycle of child tantrums that parents and even teachers should begin to have concern. Is your child displaying these signs of extreme tantrums and irritability?
Severe temper outbursts, either verbal (yelling), behavioral (physical aggression) or both
Outbursts are out of proportion to the provocation and inappropriate for the child’s age
Outbursts occur on average three or more times a week
The mood between temper outbursts is persistently irritable or angry most of the day
These symptoms have been present in at least three settings for 12 months or more
This is where neurologically based chiropractic care can help!
From a purely chiropractic perspective, more children than you might realize have imbalances and spinal misalignments that can be directly tied back to their behavioral issues. Neurologically-based chiropractic care is a gentle, non-invasive approach to chiropractic care that addresses the underlying neurological factors contributing to various physical, mental, and emotional issues kids experience every day. Your child’s nervous system is their body’s command center. Like yours, it controls and coordinates their movements, thoughts, and automatic responses to the world around them—things like breathing, blinking, coordination, sleep, heartbeat, etc.
This complex system tells every other system in the body what to do. But the nervous system isn’t immune to issues of its own. So many things can damage it, including diseases, accidents, toxins, aging, and, believe it or not, misalignments in the spine. With the gentle corrections we provide in our office during their developmental years, we see kids of all ages improve in ways their parents never thought possible. With consistent and gentle adjustments in our office …
They experience less sensory overload, thus improving the brain’s ability to process sensory information.
Their nervous system begins to regulate appropriately and perform better overall.
As a result, they experience fewer and fewer tantrums, meltdowns, and emotional outbursts.
