Many kids can live happily and be more productive and peaceful without brain altering chemicals affecting their growth. My kids are walking examples of how nutritional supplements (along with understanding parenting techniques) can squelch the tantrums, eliminate self harming behaviors, and help a child heal emotionally and physically. Find out how our family used the powerful tool of nutritional supplements to augment the parenting techniques we learned from the Post Institute. Join me as I detail our journey and share about the supplements we've used to help our kids heal.
