Stress

 

CASESUnknown

Tommy was a gifted child. No one thought he had a problem. However, his parents confided in me he had insomnia and was grinding his teeth. Tommy took school so seriously he couldn’t sleep. 

We did the Get Sensational Attention program with him. I talked to the parents about lightening up on homework and little-brother-responsibility. He joined the movement class. For Tommy, he needed time to experience giggling, goofing off, and having time focused on himself even around his little brother.

We did have to do some movement to soften up his stiff barrel chest of responsibility and let go of his jaw of anxiousness. Parents reported after the twelve lessons. The grinding of teeth stopped. He started snoring so loud they could hear him from his bedroom into the living room.
