You never want to be the parent that has the kid that hits, right? It's similar to having the kid that bites…that was me btw. So I get it - you kind of just want to squash it away, give them consequences and hopefully put that to rest. Here's the thing - when kids come in with problems with aggression, I want to know way more than just “they’re being aggressive.”

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is when a child’s information from their senses (8 of them…yes 8!e) comes into their body where they experience too little or too much stimulation.

What also comes to fruition with exposure is the sicknesses themselves - runny noses, sinus congestion, post nasal drip, and lingering coughs.

I see a variety of scenarios of children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) walking into my office. They may have had a diagnosis and parents are looking for initial support; they may have had trials with medications with no success; and/or they may be taking medications and want to augment their health with naturopathic support.
