Performing Well in School By Dr Mike Greenberg There are thousands and thousands of children who under perform in school. As one who did not speak until I was a...lmost ve years old and who struggled in elementary school, I empathize with children who have learning difculties. Why don't some children do well in school? Is our educational system to blame? While the public school system could certainly benet from better funding, the system is not entirely the reason some children are not able to keep up in class. Some kids just do not t the mold to be able to learn using the standard educational approach. There are eight or nine different types of intelligences and some children fall behind because their personal gifts and interests are not supported by the system. As strange as this may sound, a child's underachievement at school could be an allergy to some food. Did you know that food allergies and emotional problems can affect the body and brain's ability to perform? Any athlete will tell you that their pollen allergy interferes with their ability to compete. While this is not always the case, some children improve their performance in school once their food allergies are under control. Although medication helps alleviate symptoms, the side effects often impair optimal brain and body function. It's better to discover and treat the underlying problem that is causing the allergy. As a holistic practitioner, I often see children with food allergies who also have problems in school. A six-year-old patient was having difculty reading. Her mother stated that the child was also experiencing nightmares. When I evaluated her, I noticed she had a sensitivity to citrus fruit. Through holistic procedures, her issue was resolved, and her fruit sensitivity was eliminated. First, her concentration and attention span improved, and then her overall comprehension level increased. After a few more treatments and within a relatively short period of time, her reading dramatically improved. Today, she enjoys reading on her own. Emotional issues are another reason children may not perform well in academic and social settings. While eliminating anxiety is no replacement for understanding math or English, my approach was to treat for emotional issues. Not all learning challenges are allergy related. Not all learning challenges are emotionally based or a product of the educational system. However, it is possible to signicantly change a child's educational experience and improve the quality of their lives through safe, gentle, holistic treatment. And of course, parental involvement is the cornerstone for a child's success. Whether it's mathematics, reading comprehension, or performing well in tests, it is amazing and wonderful to see children excel in their studies To schedule for Dr Mike Greenberg, call 470-799-2384 See more
