Kinesiology for Children and Kids

Kinesiology for Kids/Children helps to address their over-active stress response system where their body is in a constant state of high alert.

Last Updated on 28 December 2023 by Brisbane Livewell Clinic

Why should I Consider Kinesiology for Kids?

We all know that at times anxiety in children can be a major issue affecting everyone in the home.  Not only does it affect their sleep, but also their ability to function at school, their academic performance, and (more often than not) their social interactions with other children.

This is often a vicious, self-perpetuating cycle, with anxiety making it difficult for your kids to concentrate in class – which often results in even more stress and anxiety!  Behavioural issues and acting out in class (and at home) aren’t uncommon either, and some children even feel the need to withdraw, disconnecting from their friends and family.

Sleepless nights, classroom struggles, behavioral issues, and withdrawal from friends and family are often the signs of an anxious child caught in a distressing cycle. Kinesiology for Kids offers a solution to breaking this cycle by addressing the root causes of anxiety and learning difficulties - it thus provides a path to a calmer, more balanced, and happier life.

Children can be stuck in this “fight or flight” state, which decreases the ability for their brain to receive the signals it needs for optimal learning.

Kinesiology for ChildrenKinesiology for Children works to address the over-active stress response system where the body is in a constant state of high alert. It switches off this unwanted energy pathway, inhibiting retained neo-natal reflexes and allowing for a calmer, more effective learning experience.

The Role of Kinesiology in Treating Kids

Kinesiology for Children is a gentle and non-invasive approach to helping children regain balance, learn more easily, and alleviate anxiety. Michael McCloskey, a highly respected Kinesiologist in Brisbane, specialises in assisting children with learning difficulties. His expertise in this area has yielded positive results, making him a trusted figure in the field.

Michael has a keen interest in helping children with learning difficulties and his skills in this area are highly regarded by his peers.

In our Kinesiology sessions, Kids and Children will learn

  • Simple calming techniques that they can apply at home and at school 
  • How to identify foods that may be causing negative reactions for their bodies
  • The importance of ‘alone’ time and self-reflection away from all devices and screens 
  • The benefits of exercise – the kids and their parents will be shown a range of movements and stretches that are proven to help with concentration and reduce stress – great for that afternoon homework slump!
  • Strategies to fortify their mind and spirit 
  • Easy and fun ways to improve left and right brain integration 
  • How to identify and work with vibrational essences to help shift their consciousness.

As Michael says, Kinesiology is a great way to work with children, it is a gentle and non invasive way to gain a deeper insight and understanding into how our children are feeling and what is needed to bring them back to feeling balanced, calm and happy again.

A Recommendation from Michael McClosky

Bringing your children to see a Kinesiologist like me can be incredibly valuable, especially when they exhibit anxiety, learning difficulties, or behavioral issues. Kinesiology offers a holistic approach that aims to address the underlying causes of these challenges. By empowering children with practical techniques and insights, Kinesiologists can help them regain balance (in their body and mind), improve their well-being, and unlock their full potential.

Conclusion

Kinesiology for Children or Kinesiology for Kids (however you want to say it) provides a nurturing and supportive environment for children to understand and manage their anxiety while enhancing their learning abilities. It’s a holistic approach that not only addresses the symptoms but also aims to create a foundation for long-term well-being and success. Consider seeking the guidance of a skilled Kinesiologist like Michael McCloskey to support your child on their journey to a calmer, more balanced, and happier life.
