Childhood Wellbeing Program 

 

“For many years the educational system has approached children with learning or behavioural difficulties from a purely psychological perspective. However, in recent years it has become apparent that a nutritional approach has had considerable success in helping children with learning needs.  In a conference entitled ‘Children’s Mental Health: Feeding the Next Generation’, it was concluded that the link between learning disabilities, the food and drink that we ingest and the condition of  our digestive system is absolute.”

Our children today are very vulnerable in terms of health and wellbeing. The ubiquitous prevalence of devitalised convenience food and sweet treats, over-the-counter drugs, polluted water and environment, and lack of adult awareness of  long term consequences of modern diet, sedentary lifestyle and dependency on medicines have made our children susceptible to chronic diseases like asthma, diabetes and allergies at such a young age, which was unheard of in the past when natural whole food was the norm.

Fortunately, many are waking up to the absolute importance of good nutrition and lifestyle in the early childhood years.

I have initiated the program called ONSET – Optimizing with Nutrition Science at Every Tier, a program which targets parents and teachers. It was well attended by teachers of international schools. The response has been encouraging. The workshop can be arranged upon request.

In line with generating awareness and contributing to childhood wellness, the following therapies are offered at Golden Awareness for children from 0-14 years.

1. Holistic Diet and Nutrition.

This therapy has been explained in the Holistic Clinical Nutrition Therapy section. To iterate, key benefits of this treatment are freedom from recurring infections, stronger immunity, and a roadmap to healthy diet and lifestyle habits.

2. Abhyanga Body Massage and Marma Therapy

using therapeutic oils to calm the nervous system of children. This treatment has proved very beneficial for hyper children.

3. Lifestyle counseling.

“Children love to listen to and apply what Dr.Dimple tells them to do. She has a way of getting through to them and inspiring them, in her fun playful way.” This was a comment from one of the mothers, whose 18 month child was cured of a chronic cold and cough (which lasted more than 6 months), within just 2 weeks of my holistic therapy.
