Everyone is settling into the first weeks of school by now, but if your child is still anxious to the point of being unable to concentrate and do their best, I recommend homeopathy to help reduce anxiety. Because reduced anxiety gives your kids a greater chance of succeeding, both academically and socially. I also recommend paying attention to your child’s fears, to make certain they aren't experiencing bullying or other traumatic situations. If they are, it may be best to change classrooms or schools, and perhaps even to seek counseling for them.

Here are a few examples of homeopathic remedies and the specific traits a child may show if they need one of these remedies. If you think your child needs help, please bring them in so I can take a thorough case and choose the best remedy for their specific needs, kids deserve to relax and enjoy learning.

Sepia
Irritable, overly sensitive, cries a lot, feels better when alone. Indifference to family. Feels much better with vigorous exercise. May be sarcastic and mean.

Arsenicum album
Feels vulnerable and defenseless and restless with anxiety and a great fear of being alone. Panic attacks, most often in the early hours of the morning.

Silicea
Feels weak, and very sensitive to the stimulation and chaos of school life. They want to control their environment and find it hard to leave their parents and/or stick like glue to their teacher.

Pulsatilla
Their fear of abandonment can be triggered by going to school. They are very needy and clingy and crave attention.

Baryta carbonica
This is for the person who seems immature for their age. They have a hard time making choices and want desperately to fit in, so go along with the crowd as well as they can. They can be focused on details to the point of missing the important things, and be quite rigid.
