Reflexology for Children<title> <body> <div align="center"><img src="Images/banner.jpg" width="900" height="200" alt="reflexology banner"></div> <div align="center"><h1>Reflexology for Children</h1></div> <div align="center"><h2>by Barbara and Kevin Kunz</h2></div> <h3>Reflexology for Mainstreaming</h3> <p>"... At present we are within four schools and one after school club where we offer a series of 8 15 weekly reflexology sessions to children with emotional and behavioral difficulties. These are specific partial treatments aimed at calming down the children and young people so that their behaviour becomes less challenging within the classroom and generally, making the mainstream more accessible.</p> <p>"The children and young people's difficulties can vary from bereavement to neglect, sexual, emotional, mental and physical abuse as well as exposure to drugs and alcohol. Some have witnessed and experienced horrific events within their country of origin and are separated from family members... The experience of living in an unsafe environment over a period of time or a severe threatening experience can cause Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or an unbalance within the bodies systems which can lead to anti-social behaviour. ...</p> <p>"The results from evaluation to date show a reduction in aggression, stress and anxiety and an improvement in focus, concentration, self esteem, listening skills and confidence."

Reflexology services for children and their parents are were among innovations added to improve performance problems such as low attainment and attendance as well as poor discipline. The school is now one of London's most improved.

Paths are seen as helping children develop sensory perception and coordination and, perhaps most of all, as a fun and beneficial time spent away from the ever-present sedentary-producing television and video games.</p> <p>In Germany, teachers hold fair-like events, encouraging children to gather materials and place them into a barefoot path, indoors or outdoors, for temporary use.
