Are children getting “sicker” or are we just diagnosing things we were never identifying before? In our experience, the answer is “yes” to both. Yes, the medical community is lenient in their diagnosis many times, but “yes” today’s children are in many cases less capable of handling life with behavior that we would consider “balanced.”
We see in practice that what behavior one parent experienced in a milder form when they were a child, their children are experiencing in a more extreme form. Some times this behavior is limiting the child’s ability to make social connections, to be a member of the household, or to achieve in school. This is when the behavior is “out of balance.”

The goal of homeopathy is to bring a person’s mental/emotional state into balance. We have enormous success with cases dealing with the behaviors listed before. Especially when the child is young. Even as they move into puberty, behavior can be brought into balance very quickly. Usually children respond to remedies quite readily because they have less years invested in the behavior and compensating for it (as adults do).
Don’t wait.
If we could pass on any advice, it’s don’t wait until the situation is at a crisis. Homeopathy in not an “overnight” cure, it takes time. In addition, as children get older and learn coping skills, they may be able to mask/curb behavior (people say they “got over it”), but usually the underlying thoughts, sensitivities, beliefs, impulses are still present. These will generally surface later in life as they encounter stresses at work or with partners or family.

Homeopathy Story: “Worrying All Night”
Girl, 11 years old, Anxiety
“Before homeopathy, I could barely sleep. I worried about it all day long! At night, I would just sit there and think about how horrible it was that I couldn’t go to sleep, (and trust me, it worked, I wouldn’t fall asleep in till I got so tired of being sad, I just drifted off)
I also HATED thunderstorms!! (I still do!) But homeopathy also helped me on this! I’d worry about thunderstorms ALL the time!! Even when it was sunny!! (Or snowing!)
At first, seeing a homeopath seemed kind of scary! But after about 3 ½ minutes, I realized that she wasn’t going to bite or anything, so I had no reason to be scared!
At first, I thought remedy’s were magic or something, you know, suck on it and POOF, you fall asleep, but trust me, that’s not the case! For some people, it takes 2-3 days for the remedy to show, but for others, it takes 1-2 weeks!! (that would be me! )
Homeopathy has really helped me with my sleep problems and thunderstorm worries! At night, It still takes me a while to go to sleep, but I don’t worry about it all day anymore!! (actually, I don’t worry about it at all!)” - K
