We have created a 5 step-proven method to manage your child’s behaviour, learning and concentration problems and guide their little minds to unlock their full potential and secure their future. We cover all ages, from Pre-schoolers through to college and university.
As parents, we’re unsure whether our children are just going through a ‘phase’ that will pass. The Grade 2 teacher has also indicated that the jump from Grade 2 to Grade 3 is a big jump we should be vigilant of. Maybe, “my child needs time” to settle and adjust to a more extended school day, increased workload and busier sports programmes. As a parent, it’s not easy to hear from your child’s teacher they are struggling. And more heartbreaking to have our child ask you if there is “something wrong with me.” and not know how to reply. Bec use. I honestly don’t know why? I’ve bought an over-the-counter fish oil and concentration supplement recommended by the health shop. Honestly, I haven’t seen any improvement with these products. Last year’s teacher recommended occupational therapy, and we have religiously attended weekly sessions for the past year without any modification. The grandparents have mentioned he is lazy and that we need to be stricter and exercise more discipline. Is there anything that we could do to assist my child? I don’t want to put my child through unnecessary blood tests and investigations only to find out it’s something else. My GP wanted my son on a trial of Ritalin without talking to the teacher or digging deeper into the problem. We, as parents, would like to understand what he’s going through and know the underlying problem so that we can help him cope better. I don’t want to be told what to do. I understand, so we can start helping. I feel like we have wasted so much time. Because your problems at home are now daily, I feel guilty that, as a parent, I find myself shouting and losing control out of frustration. Punishments and taking away privileges such as screen time doesn’t help. I know he tries his best but seems unable to do the chores and work he can. I am witnessing my child losing self-confidence, and his self-esteem plummets. He does not want to go to school, and his tummy is sore. Who should we see to get the right help?

Do you feel like a parent with “butterfly wings” flapping against a tornado?
Your emotions of helplessness, worry, and guilt, combined with a child without friends, low grades, mood disturbances, behaviour and learning problems, can seem overwhelming.
They are leaving you to feel that your child is the only one experiencing difficulties.
As a paediatrician with 20 years of experience and a specialised interest in developmental neurology, I have dedicated the past twenty years solving these problems.

I have gathered around myself, a multidisciplinary team of educators, therapists and practice staff to respond to any problem no matter how large or small.” – Dr John Flett
