Childhood is a time of development and change. Homeopathy keeps development on the right track. A parent's job is to provide the child with proper nourishment and a supportive physical, emotional and spiritual environment. The homeopath's job is to facilitate the child's development, bolster immune system function, and create greater harmony in the body.  This may require intervention at various points in the child's life.  Specific stresses during the childhood may obstruct or side track development.  These could be physical stresses such as illnesses, immunizations, or hormonal chanes during puberty.  Or they could be the emotional traumas of a new sibling, separation from a parent through divorce, or any major disturbance in the normal flow of events in the child's life.  Some children have inherent or inhherited tendencys which make transitions to life more difficult than they are for others.  Homeopathic treatment can often alleviate the symptoms caused by these situation.
