Back to School
You can never be too prepared! This article we will look at some of the ways to make the transition back to the routine of school a bit easier on both you and your children.
“I don’t like school! Do I have to go?”
There are gentle remedies that may go a little way towards soothing a nervous or anxious child.
Avena sativa is a wonderful herbal remedy that may help to calm frayed nerves. Maybe your child just lacks a little self confidence in which case you could try the aptly named Confidence Essence, a gentle flower essence that helps transform negative emotions such as shyness or low self esteem into positive ones like assertiveness and courage.
Unwanted passengers!
Not to worry you, but only one in five people with head lice have an itchy scalp so the best way to find out if your family has them is by regular checking! How do you get rid of them? You want something that is gentle but also effective at ridding your life of lice. Riddance is a head lice repellent shampoo that contains Neem seed extract, which is both gentle on the scalp and superbly effective. The beauty of it is that it doesn’t just get rid of the lice but also the eggs, which most chemical shampoos can’t do.
“Atishoo!”
Are your children healthy all summer and then pick up a bug the minute they return to school? You can give them Echinacea to prevent them falling ill. Echinacea Junior is a pleasant natural orange flavoured chewable tablet that is suitable for children aged two and above.
Packed lunch
Try humus and carrot in a wholemeal roll or maybe a brown rice salad or a wholewheat pasta salad: a handful of cashew nuts instead of crisps and some dried apricots or dates or a little box of raisins instead of chocolate. Experiment with different nuts and fruit. Your children may surprise you and thoroughly enjoy it!
