🧘‍♀️Holistic therapy doesn’t just benefit the child – it often brings a sense of clarity and empowerment to the whole family. Parents are actively involved in the process and supported with practical tools they can use at home.
This helps parents feel more confident in responding to their child’s needs, while also building stronger bonds through play, movement and shared progress. For more information on holistic therapy visit https://www.rightstartonline.co.uk/features/holistic-help

🧘‍♀️One of the most overlooked causes of developmental and emotional difficulties is the presence of retained primitive reflexes – automatic movements babies are born with that should fade as they grow.
When these reflexes persist beyond infancy, they can interfere with everything from:
🟢posture and balance to 🟢attention, learning and coordination.
Holistic specialists such as Quester Therapies can introduce specific movement patterns and exercises to help integrate these reflexes. https://www.rightstartonline.co.uk/features/holistic-help

🧘‍♀️In the early years, emotional struggles don’t always present in obvious ways. Signs that a child may need extra help include:
🔴Frequent tantrums or strong emotional reactions.
🔴Sensory sensitivities (to noise, light, clothing).
🔴Difficulty sleeping or winding down.
🔴Trouble focusing or sitting still.
🔴Avoidance of change or extreme clinginess.
These behaviours often indicate that a child’s nervous system is under strain, making it difficult for them to regulate emotions, follow instructions or feel safe and calm.
Holistic therapy can help address these issues. https://www.rightstartonline.co.uk/features/holistic-help
