The amazing people at Igennus have just announced that a new Super Booster product E-EPA 90 will be available from late March. This brand new product provides 500 mg of EPA per capsule and is a convenient way for both children and adults who have not taken Omega 3 before to get an initial loading of EPA with fewer capsules to swallow. It is recommended that E-EPA 90 should be taken for the first 2-3 months (children under 12 one capsule a day and children12 and over 2 capsules a day) before switching to regular VEGEPA.

Brilliant.

The new book from Robin Pauc, the fourth in the series of “Is That My Child?” gives a cutting edge, fascinating insight into the science behind parenting.

From falling in love to marriage, and from childbirth to tolerating troublesome teens – this easy-to-follow text takes readers through the chemical changes underlying all the major milestones of family life.

“In Mindful Parenting (a parent-thesis) best-selling author and researcher Robin Pauc looks at the postnatal development of the brain and the potential challenges this poses to parents. However, before considering the impact that a child makes upon the lives of their parents he also considers why we are attracted to certain people and not others and why indeed we fall in love. In considering the establishment of the family he looks in depth into the history of the individual members of the family unit and the effects such factors as the location of the family home and income have upon the functioning of the unit. An easy to follow questionnaire allows the reader to look subjectively at their life situation and where possible make changes that will impact favourably upon the every day family life. Issues with both the parents and children with learning and behavioural disorders are addressed sympathetically and case histories are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of appropriate interventions.

This fourth book in the series by Robin Pauc provides a mirror into which anyone can look to see their current life situation – the point on the line of history where it is bisected by their own biography – it provides an explanation as to why children do what they do and when things go wrong, why the particular problem arose and more importantly what you can do to change things. This book empowers parents by providing a knowledge of the postnatal development of the brain in a format that is easily digested and yet contains the latest cutting-edge neurology that few people on the planet are aware of.”

For a practitioner to accurately diagnose and treat a condition, he must firstly be aware of its existence, have experience of it, have the means to test for it and secondly have a treatment to hand that is known to be effective in its treatment.

Convergence insufficiency – the inability to bring the eyes in towards the nose – affects some 13% of the population and yet very few practitioners are aware of its existence and only a handful of people have considered the possibility that it might impact upon a child’s ability to learn to read.

It is the purpose of this booklet to bring to the attention of parents, teachers and politicians that potentially > 30% of children currently diagnosed as suffering from dyslexia may well in fact have convergence insufficiency, a condition that can be diagnosed in minutes and treated effectively in a matter of weeks. Imagine if we could end the misery of countless children and the anguish suffered by parents of the thousands upon thousands of children potentially misdiagnosed as being dyslexic.

I was recently sent a short story (300 words) that Master William Starkey had submitted to a literacy competition. To say it was brilliant would be an understatement. If your child has written something amazing, won an award, got a medal or gone up a belt in karate, please let me know and I wiull post it on the website. Here is William’s short story -

Chan and the Dragon

By William Starkey

Chan lives with his parents in a flat in Toyko but would prefer to live in a mansion in the countryside.

He spends his days sword fighting with his friends. He dreams of being a warrior. He has read many stories of the warriors and how brave they were. He has trained in karate and so far has reached his white belt.

At the weekend, Chan always went to visit his grandmother in the countryside. She did not live in a mansion but a small cottage by a stream. Chan likes visiting his grandmother because of her special treats, mainly chocolate muffins.

One Saturday, Chan was splashing about in the stream, trying to spear fish with his sword. He heard a strange roar above him and saw a flock of mysterious birds.

They had oddly shaped heads with large ears and deathly shaped fangs. Quite scary.

As Chan watched they seemed to hover in the air and the birds seemed to join up into a big red ball of flames. Chan was terrified and was frozen in fear. Flames exploded from the ball, Chan dived for cover behind a tree.

He found a little courage from within himself and he peeped out from behind the tree. As he watched, an evil looking black dragon appeared from the flames.

The dragon swooped down toward the small cottage, Chan screamed at the top of his voice “Grandma Get out”.

The dragon stopped in mid air and turned slowly to face Chan, he opened his mouth and let fire shoot at Chan’s face. Chan quickly dodged it and the tree he was hiding behind got burned.  The dragon then came down to face Chan directly. The dragon opened its mouth but Chan was prepared and charged into the Dragon`s throat. Chan then started to walk through the Dragon`s neck. Chan eventually got to the dragons heart and threw his sword at it. Blood oozed out. Chan pulled his sword out of the heart and cut a hole big enough to step though and walked out.

His grandmother was standing in front of him and was clapping and said “well done Chan well done”.

Then they sold the dragon as meat and got heaps of money and Chan got his wishes.

For parents and children based in the UK it is often necessary to make the long journey to the clinic in order that the hearing, eye and neurological tests can be carried out. Once all the testing has been done, progress has been monitored by retesting and the all important relationship has been established with the child, it is possible via Skype and online monitoring to continue with the treatment without spending hours in traffic jams.

When requests for help are received via the website, a Skype consultation provides an opportunity to carry out the initial consultation, to provide advice and to monitor progress. Skype is a free download and video calls do not involve telephone charges.

Helen, a single mother living in Athens, contacted me using the form on the Contact Us page on the website. She was at her wits end and was seriously considering giving into the pressure to put her son Simon on medication. Helen jumped at the offer of a Skype consultation and booked an appointment before rushing out to buy a webcam.

Simon’s developmental history was just so typical, as were the problems he was suffering and the mayhem he was causing in school and at home. Once Helen had gone through a typical day’s food intake for Simon, it became very clear that his brain, that was not only struggling to develop, was being bombarded with a daily cocktail of chemicals and a high carbohydrate diet.

Once the dietary advice was in place, advice on supplementation given and some simple exercises suggested, it was just a matter of providing support via emails while waiting for the more holistic approach to ADHD to kick-in.

Within 6 weeks Simon was calmer, more reasonable and the pressure to medicate him was off. Once the basics were in place – diet, supplements, exercises – it was possible to provide Helen with computer generated treatment programmes designed to stimulate specific areas of Simon’s brain and bring on their development. The human brain continues to grow, develop and change until late into the teens and therefore Helen may require further advice when puberty kicks in or when Simon becomes a moody teenager but for now she is in control and both she and Simon are very happy.
