Craniosacral Therapy for Children: Treatments
for Expecting Mothers, Babies, and Children. Daniel
Agustoni, $35.00
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY FOR
CHILDREN introduces a craniosacral therapy treatment protocol for babies
and children up to 12 years of age. A gentle hands-on healing approach,
craniosacral therapy releases tensions in the body in order to relieve pain,
resolve trauma, and improve physical and emotional health. Author and
craniosacral therapist Daniel Agustoni discusses the reasons for treating young
children and for beginning treatment during pregnancy. He explains how the
stress of birth can cause asymmetries and misalignments in babies' bodies that
can lead to problems later in life: from suckling problems, abdominal colic,
and fragmented sleep patterns to anxiety, hyperactivity, and ADD. Agustoni
demonstrates how craniosacral therapy can also offset the effects of stress,
trauma, and PTSD that may affect the growing child depending on his or her
environment, biology, and temperament.
Enhanced with over 120 instructional photos and illustrations, the book's
hands-on techniques are presented along with suggestions for interacting with
parents, babies, and young children. The book discusses methods of evaluation
and treatment following structural, functional, and biodynamic models. Engaging
case examples describe the therapeutic results of the treatment, which include
increased security and confidence, relaxation, support for the immune system,
and a sense of well-being. An important resource for healthcare practitioners,
this book is also useful for educators, parents, and caregivers interested in
learning new ways to help their children. |

How Your Child Heals: an Inside Look
at Common Childhood Ailments. Christopher Johnson,
$18.95
Good communication between parents and
doctors is the cornerstone of getting good care for the child. Doctors are
increasingly pressed for time and appointment visits are shorter than ever.
Unfortunately, when time is short, what often suffers is explaining to parents
what to expect and why. Parents need to learn how to make the most of their
brief time with the doctor. This book will help them do that. HOW YOUR CHILD
HEALS is not a description of a laundry list of pediatric diseases. Rather, it
uses specific, familiar examples — things like ear infections, asthma attacks,
broken bones, and appendicitis — to explain what is happening inside a child's
body as it heals. The book explains and demonstrates, using vivid narrative
techniques so readers can better visualize the processes being described. |

understanding of how germs and our bodies work will help you and your child
