What Parents Need to Know About Stress and Chronic Illness in Children

Are your children struggling with ongoing health challenges? Are you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted as a parent? You’re not alone. Many families today are facing similar struggles, and there might be a fundamental connection underlying these various health challenges.

The Modern Health Challenge

Today’s children are experiencing an unprecedented rise in chronic health conditions. From allergies and sensory processing issues to focus and behavioral challenges, these conditions often stem from our modern environment’s impact on the nervous system. While genetics play a role, research shows that environmental factors and daily stressors significantly influence our children’s health, starting as early as pregnancy.

Understanding Nervous System Impact

The culmination of these stressors results in an overburdened and unbalanced nervous system, triggering an overactive sympathetic fight or flight response. This can create a condition called subluxation – a state where the body stays in “fight or flight” mode. 

 This doesn’t just affect one aspect of health; it influences: sleep patterns, digestive function, immune system strength, physical development, cognitive processing, emotional regulation and more.
