Why Your Child Might Get Worse Before They Get Better | EP. 71

Your child started care for focus, big emotions or sleep, and a few weeks in, things look harder instead of easier. Dr. Veronica and Dr. Serena talk through a real case where gait, focus and emotions all got worse halfway through care, and why that was actually a good sign. They also explain the difference between a neuro detox and neuro retracing, and why one shows up in almost every case. In this episode, they cover: Why neurological healing doesn’t follow a straight line the way a cut heals How early movements like rolling and rocking on hands and knees build the wiring for crawling, eye tracking and reading What happens when a milestone isn’t met with excellence, and how the brain builds shortcuts to keep moving Why Dr. Veronica tells parents that “nothing changed” would worry her more than a hard week The difference between a neuro detox (too much input at once) and neuro retracing (the brain relearning a pathway) How sleep, constipation and nutrient gaps stack up underneath big meltdowns A six-year-old who wouldn’t sit on the potty, and what her retracing looked like Dr. Serena’s own month of discomfort after an adjustment, and how her neck feels now If your child has hit a rough patch in care and you’re wondering if something went wrong, this episode is for you.
