ABSTRACT

The second group of six letters focuses on daily regulation. Now that parents have addressed the basics of the routine, the following weeks focus on specific areas of their child’s daily functions. A Master Trainer provides recommendations for how to foster and support a child’s emotional regulation. Letters that follow address specific problems of regulation including sleep, difficulty with listening or paying attention and tantrums. A broader look at these topics is offered from the Chinese medicine perspective of energy flow, and simple instructions are provided for QST touch techniques that parents can use to help their child resolve those issues while strengthening their inner capacities for regulation. Good digestion is the final area of daily regulation addressed, with detailed instructions for how to work on the belly for specific problems. The group ends with a letter from a Master Trainer who helps the reader to detect and focus on body cues from the perspective of Chinese medicine.
