Hyperactive kids with behavioural problems often exhibit traits of being in \u201cFight or Flight\u201d modus, as if their sympathetic nervous system is activated: <\/span><\/p>\n They are visually hyperactive, and can be very easily visually distracted, <\/span><\/p>\n Their hearing is highly<\/span> acute, and they are easily distracted by sounds. <\/span><\/p>\n They have a big need for movement; often they are extremely restless.<\/span><\/p>\n They are unable to relax, they are constantly \u201con the go\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n Many hyperactive kids have no sense of hunger, nor would they feel satisfied having a full stomach; many don\u2019t\u00a0 feel pain, or feel it very acutely. In some cases hyperactive children even try to cause themselves pain.<\/span><\/p>\n Most of them have difficulties to calm down and need a lot of time till they are able to fall asleep. Then, all of a sudden, they are \u201cfast asleep\u201d. Very often the children suffer from heavy nightmares \u2013which their parents are often unaware of. <\/span><\/p>\n In school they have difficulties with activities of the frontal brain \u2013 reading, writing, calculating, analytical thinking \u2013 which adds to their difficulties.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Fight or Flight mechanism<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Comparing the \u201cbehavioural problems\u201d of these kids with \u201cacting out of the fight- flight-mechanism in a threat for survival\u201d,\u00a0 one can but observe striking similarities: <\/span><\/p>\n The survival mechanism with an activated sympathetic nervous system overpowers rational thought processes and the activities of the frontal brain \u2013 this hierarchy ensures (????) the survival of the human being till today. <\/span><\/p>\n It also means: being still and calm equates with death.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n In acute survival situations the senses, \u00a0seeing and hearing are extremely sharp, the extremities are restless – ready for \u201cfight of flight\u201d. The sensitivity to pain is greatly reduced. <\/span><\/p>\n In this state it is impossible to \u201c gently drift into sleep.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The parasympathetic nervous system, which stimulates appetite and digestion, is pushed aside. There seems to be a lack in flexibility for switching from sympathetic to parasympathetic nervous system and getting into the mode of homeostasis. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Homeopathy \u2013 Sankaran Method ?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n In case receiving we distinguish \u201cthe human song\u201d from the \u201cnonhuman song\u201d or \u00a0<\/span>\u201cthe song from nature\u201d. The homoeopathic remedy is identified by discovering the \u201cnonhuman song\u201d within the child.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe human song\u201d is characterised through the common themes of mammals:<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Survival in family and group<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A safe place<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Being connected with ones family<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Communication and learning<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mastery (or suppression) of instincts (aggression and sexuality) \u00a0<\/span>to remain in the group<\/span><\/p>\n Specific for human beings is:<\/span><\/p>\n -finding a balance between egoism and altruism, being there for oneself and others, \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>social responsibility. <\/span><\/p>\n – desire for personal growth and self realisation<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe other song\u201d from nature:<\/span><\/p>\n These are the survival mechanisms, in nature, reflecting in our homoeopathic remedies:<\/span><\/p>\n In animals survival is obvious in victim-aggressor- themes, in plants we find survival mechanisms in sensitivity to specific environmental influences, and survival in minerals is about function, form and completeness of its structure.<\/span><\/p>\n The<\/span> professional homeopathic approach with specific casetaking techniques combined with the systematic analysis with the Sankaran Method gives highly reliable results in the treatment with the homoepathic simillimum from nature. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Casetaking<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n In children, the focus in casetaking is to directly approach\u00a0 \u201cthe other song\u201d, through the child`s spontaneous and intense characteristics. This works particularly well with children age 4 to 10y, as they express their vital energy in their activities without any compensation. Topics in casetaking are natural affinities, movement patterns, games, sports and hobbies of the child. Furthermore fears, dreams, favourite films and videogames, as well as \u201cwhen I am big\u201d- fantasies give more insight into the so-called \u201cmagical world\u201d of a child. This information determines a highly individualised remedy systematically. <\/span><\/p>\n Problems in family, school and social environment mainly reflect the difficulties with the \u201chuman life\u201d. The child is not able to adapt his behaviour to match the expectations of the community and society. Details in regard to these difficulties are unspecific and mostly secondary. At times the child doesn\u2019t even see his inability to adapt as problem \u2013 and is therefore not interested in change. More often though adaption and flexibility are out of reach for the child.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The homoeopathic Simillimum <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Integrates the \u201chuman song\u201d with the \u201cnonhuman song\u201d, gives an impulse for a harmonious interaction of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system: <\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Phases of activity and quietness and concentration interlude<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Feelings of hunger appear and eating becomes a satisfying experience<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The child feels how tired he is and falling asleep is easy. <\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The body is sensed more acutely, pain is noticed \u2013 \u00a0sometimes \u00a0<\/span>the first time in their life. <\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some children get physically sick after a very long time. Finally their lifeforce lets the body- mind \u2013 system work again actively together. F.ex. \u201chaving a cold with fever\u201d is an update of the immune system <\/span><\/p>\n and\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n the frontal brain, whose function had been over-run by the \u201cfight-or-fight-mechanism\u201d, is coming to the forefront again.<\/span><\/p>\n Reading, writing and calculating come easily, homework is done in 20min and a positive experience \u2013 compared to a 2 days frustration and fight with their parents. <\/span><\/p>\n The child is now able to sit still in class, and is less distracted by sounds and visuals. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Generally these changes develop over several weeks. Nightmares disappear within a few days at times. It is usually very noticeable that the child gains gradually more control over his instinctive reactions. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0Why does the sympathetic nervous system, the fight-or flight mechanism get activated?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Trauma<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Being left alone, neglect in early childhood<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Violence in the family<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lack of\u00a0 appropriate care (according to age)<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Birth trauma (lack of oxygen, cesarian, forceps etc.)<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prenatal trauma (medication, nicotine, alcohol consumption of the mother, violence)<\/span><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Effects of vaccination, f.ex. silent encephalitis and other side effects<\/span><\/p>\n –<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Major accidents, operations <\/span><\/p>\n and\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>overload of sensory input \u2013 as created by TV, mobile, videogames etc. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>An overstimulation is uncontrollable for the rational mind \u2013 and the non-rational survival mechanisms \u00a0<\/span>gets activated. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hyperactive kids with behavioural problems often exhibit traits of being in \u201cFight or Flight\u201d modus, as if their sympathetic nervous system is activated: They are<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-740","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["de","en"],"languages":{"de":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sigridlindemann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sigridlindemann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sigridlindemann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sigridlindemann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sigridlindemann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sigridlindemann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/740\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sigridlindemann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
