Why We Wrote This Book
As pediatric chiropractic specialists with over 80 years of combined experience, we’ve seen firsthand how unrecognized cranial and neurological patterns can affect a child’s potential. Too often, symptoms are brushed off as “normal” simply because they’re common. This book helps bridge that gap—for parents and professionals alike.
If you’re seeking answers, looking for ways to support your child naturally, or want to better understand their developmental journey, this book is for you.

Introduction – The Wonder of Human Development
The question parents most often ask is: “Is what my child doing or looks like normal”? In this chapter, we discuss the difference between what is normal and what is common.
Chapter One – Birth: The Beginning of Life
Birth is a miraculous experience. What is actually happening to the infant during this process? In this chapter we discuss the birth process and its affect on the infant.
Chapter Two – The Structures Beneath
Learning about the structures that protect your child’s rapidly growing nervous system can give you a window into how to determine what is normal vs. common. In this chapter, we discuss the external and internal factors that affect the development of your child’s nervous system.
Chapter Three – The Developing Brain
This chapter will give you a window into the truly miraculous neurological development that is occurring in the first year of your child’s life.
Chapter Four – Milestones and Reflexes
What are the things you should be looking for to make sure that your child is developing to their optimum potential? In this chapter, we discuss the markers that can help you key in to detect aberrant neurological development before the symptoms show.
Chapter Five – Our Nervous System
Understanding how the nervous system works and having an idea about some of its parts can give parents a way to understand the processes that control their child’s development. This chapter will help you to appreciate the intricacy of the nervous system and how you as a parent can help foster a healthier, happier child.
Chapter Six – The Shape of Things
Here we discuss some of the most common structural and functional issues often seen in the pediatric population, what you should look for and what to do if you find them.
Chapter Seven – Structure and Function
Understanding the relationship between structure and function can help you understand the importance of fostering more normal structural growth and developmental patterns to facilitate optimum functional capacity in your child.
Chapter Eight – What’s Wrong With This Face
We all see our children as beautiful and perfect the way they are. At times, certain physical quirks become apparent and we wonder is this a problem? In this chapter, we will give you some guidelines to help you determine when a “quirk or glitch” is something you should be concerned about.
Chapter Nine – What To Do?
Parents are often the first to notice that something is not quite right with their child. When this happens, you need a place or direction to go to determine what if anything needs to be done to support your child. In this chapter, we discuss some of the options available for parents who have questions or concerns about their child’s structural or functional development.
