    The main purpose of taking this class is to understand more about cranial distortion and the impact on childhood development. Also I hope to learn more about the normal development of an infant through the early years. What to look for in terms of the abnormality.

    That 90% of the brain cells are formed during the first year and the adult myelination is present by the end of the second year. That’s quite mind blowing to me. That the first 6 years of the childhood programming will pretty much affect that child for the rest of his or her life. It makes me reflect on my own and my siblings’ childhood. That common abnormal in child cranial distortion should not be overlooked or brushed off as normal.

    The knowledge that I know now will impact how I will look for my own child in the future and professionally it gives me more confidence to advise clients that just have their own child about their development.

    Checking and explaining to my new mom and the information about her child development was really appreciated by her. She commented that her pediatric wasn’t as thorough as me. And as a result, she refers more clients in.

    Thank you so much for taking time putting this course together. The information is really cool and I don’t see it in other places.

    I took this program because both of my children and me were tongue-tied. We all had them lasered off by Dr. Billiot or Dr. Kotlow. My son has primal reflexes retained, can be inconsolable at times, had very difficult time sleeping for the first 2 years of life.

    My three takeaways are:

    The importance of seeking professional help when parents notice an issue.
    1. How fast the brain grows the first 2 years of life.
    2. The quicker the issue can be corrected the easier the child’s development will be.
    3. Both my children seem to be congested when they’re not sick. My 2 y/o daughter is worse than my 4 y/o son. Both are mouth breathers but she is worse. I will dive deeper to further help them.

    I have a patient who has plagiocephaly (her bow on her head didn’t sit right/equal around her head) that I was able to help reshape their head. She became a “more pleasant” baby.

    Thank you for offering these courses.

    I took this program as a refresher on information.

    This course is easy to complete, easy to understand and good information. This was a good review.

    I thought things were explained well.

    I took this program for further understanding of infant health issues and ways chiropractors can adjust or help them.

    It was a great review of infant anatomy and health problems infants may have.

    It has refreshed me on the anatomy of infant development and I have learned more about infant health problems and signs to look for and I have more certainty in evaluating infants for cranial problems.

    I am a holistic dentist always looking to expand my knowledge. My first granddaughter experienced a tongue tie revision and plagiocephaly treatment.

    My three takeaways: A child’s growth is deeply multifaceted. Childhood conditions and diseases should not be commonplace and should be re-evaluated from a different angle. Normal and common should not be interchangeable terms when talking about childhood development.

    I personally witnessed my granddaughter go through a tongue tie revision and improve her ability to feed. My granddaughter’s head shape changed drastically through PT, body work and chiropractic care and no longer needs a helmet. Her cranial asymmetry went from 5.1 to 0.8, without a helmet!

    I evaluate my pediatric dental patients more thoroughly and ask parents more questions about their infant hood and milestone timelines.

    Thank you for a great course!
