Lice- The Newest Superbug

It is no surprise to us to hear that lice has become the newest superbug that is affecting our children today. With school starting, this may be the article you need to pay attention to if you have school age children.

What makes it a superbug? It means that conventional methods are no longer working to treat the issue, and it has mutated their defense and genetic make up to survive whatever you are throwing at it.

How did it become a superbug? There are many theories to this one. But, the one we can most relate to would be the overuse of antibiotics. From finding it in our food, to having them overly prescribed for minor issues... these have created a little bit of an issue.

So, what's the good news? The best news is now the homeopathic methods are working better than ever. They are actually able to do the job, and the medicine you can find in the local pharmacy is failing. Going back to nature and using essential oils and natural infusions are making the biggest difference with no harmful side effects to your children.

Step into Health recently released a great article of the different methods you can use to help defeat this superbug if you happen to get exposed to them.

Back to School

It is that time of year again when children are getting ready or already have gone back to school. I remember when school started in September, and now it is year round or on different tracks that make it often difficult for children to go back to their routine.

Did you know that it takes a month, a full 30 days for a child and their parents to get back into the swing of an academic routine? A month! So in September, most children who have already started school will finally be back into the swing of things, and most parents will feel they have control of the schedule once again. 

Below I have attached a link to a great article. One that is found on the ICPA4Kids website, and has great information regarding children and those who may have some difficulties with change. It has great tips of how a parent or teacher can help a student who may have learning difficulties. 

Enjoy!
