Question:
I'm queing up my ITEC reflexology case studies and I'm going to use my 5 yr old son. He is pretty overactive (I keep expecting his teachers to stick him in the ADHD box) and wondered if anyone has found reflexology helpful. Any tips on techniques?
It will help. However, have you checked that it is ok to use him as a case study? ITEC are really picky on this one so I would double check. Would be a good one to do though.
Have to say though I would (if you haven't already) look at his diet and see what is causing it. I am trained in an allergy elimination treatment and they have good success with all the problems beginning with A!!! (ie ADHD, Autism etc).
You would be surprised at how something like, say, orange juice could be triggering this.
Wish you luck! Have twin boys myself so know how hard it can be.
Hi Candie
Thanks for the continuingly useful advice. I checked with my tutor who has said he will be ok as a case study, I was quite surprised because for massage and aromatherapy it was minimum 16yrs. Only trouble will be pinning him down!
I have tried the elimination diet and monitoring what he eats, but to be honest he has a pretty wholesome diet and nothing has cropped up as trigger, I've also tried the EFAs, vitamins, cranial osteopathy etc. I have come to realise that this is just his personality, he has been like it since the second he was born, and a few minutes of relaxing reflexology will probably benefit me just as much. :D
I'll let everyone know if I get dramatic results.
