Children with learning, behavioral and health difficulties are often very bright but unexpectedly under-perform in a learning environment. The aim of the Sunflower Therapy is help them to re-connect with the marvelous inherent abilities that they each have. This will have a beneficial effect in many areas of their lives. By alleviating accumulated stresses in the body, the Sunflower Therapy restores the basis of good health. With secure foundations, children are happier and more creative, expressive and confident. In short, they become the very best they can be.
Do you need our help?
Many of the children we see demonstrate clear symptoms indicating they are having difficulties with behaviour and/or learning efficiently. The set of symptoms may have been labeled as dyslexia, autism, Aspergers' syndrome, dyspraxia, ADD or ADHD, but there's frequently a degree of overlap and many children will display a range of symptoms.
Some children helped by the Sunflower Therapy don't have a learning or behavioural difficulty per se but have been brought to us by concerned parents because their performance doesn't match their level of intelligence. If you're worried about your child and would like to know if the Sunflower Therapy might help, review the questions we've listed below with your son or daughter in mind. If you answer 'yes' to more than four of these questions, your child will probably benefit from the Sunflower Therapy.
