Praise For: It’s All in The Head

“It’s All in the Head is an incredible, eye opening look at the development of babies and children. Encourage parents as well as practitioners who deal in pediatrics to get this book.”

“This is an amazing book for all parents and pediatric practitioners. I highly recommend it!”

As a pediatric chiropractor and a mom, this is the book I wish every parent had on their shelf. Marty Rosen and Nancy Watson take something that sounds complicated, cranial development, and explain it in plain language that actually makes sense.

This book walks parents through how the cranium develops and what healthy development looks like in a clear and simple manner. The checklists at the end of the chapters are the part I love most, because they give parents something concrete to look for instead of leaving them to guess. It gives parents peace of mind with what to look for and action steps to take before worry kicks in.

I recommend this to parents in my practice, and to any practitioner who works with babies and children. Whether you are brand new to cranial work or have been doing it for years, it will sharpen how you look at the kids in front of you.

“As more and more infants are encountering stress on their nervous system from birth trauma , environmental toxins, and poor diet, to name a few, it is imperative that parents are educated on what normal alignment and function look like. When infant symptoms and health challenges are common and become confused for normal, parents are not alerted to how inaction can create chronic issues that can be easily resolved with early treatment from a pediatric chiropractor/craniopath. It’s All in the Head by Drs. Rosen and Watson presents an easy-to-understand analysis of common infant distortions that may be overlooked by the medical community but are extremely important for parents to feel empowered to get help for their little ones. A must-read for any parent wanting to create the best start for their baby with an optimized nervous system, normal physiological function and milestone development.”

“I love the chart with how it is worded to show that Untied States is as low as 26th on the list for infant mortality. People need to recognize this and become more educated about the process of birth. Natural Birth in this country has taken a back seat to the C-sections and medicalization of birth. A woman’s birth story is her personal story for life. I loved the chapter on the “Wonder of Human Development”, it would be great to teach that in a high school health class.”

“Drs. Rosen & Watson bring insight and education that expands awareness and shifts perspectives. I’m grateful for their brilliant work!”

I purchased this book to deepen my understanding of the importance of the cranium and to gain further insight into how cranial corrections can positively impact people’s lives. I believe that, through this knowledge, we can contribute to improving quality of life, promoting better health and well-being, and transforming the reality of those who need this type of care. Furthermore, I aim to refine my ability to convey this information in a clear, accessible, and educational manner, so that more and more people may come to understand the significance of this work and its potential benefits. I view this book as an opportunity for professional and personal growth, a way to expand my knowledge and better prepare myself to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

What I find most valuable in this book is the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between skull development and neurological development in children, while recognizing the importance of each stage in this process for a child’s growth and well-being. I also find the discussion of physiological factors that can influence a child’s development and potential to be highly enriching. For me, the great value of this work lies in broadening my professional perspective, encouraging me to seek further knowledge, and helping me understand how to convey this information clearly and accessible to parents and families. I believe this knowledge can make a real difference in how we provide guidance and support to every child and family.

As a student of Dr. Martin and Nancy, I already possessed a solid, excellent foundation based on the contents of this book; however, he further enhanced my understanding of and approach to child development. He underscored the importance of viewing each child as a whole, while considering the various factors that can influence their neurological development. He inspired a deeper appreciation for the connection between cranial development, the nervous system, and a child’s overall well-being. Furthermore, he reinforced the significance of early intervention, continuous learning, and clear communication with parents. I now feel even more motivated to deepen my knowledge, approach every child with greater insight, and help families recognize the importance of supporting healthy development with care and responsibility.

Yes, I would recommend It’s All in the Head to other healthcare professionals, parents, and anyone else who wishes to better understand child development. I find it a highly enriching read, as it offers an intriguing perspective on children’s neurological development, the significance of the cranium, and the factors that can influence its growth and overall well-being. I believe the insights presented in the book can spark new lines of thought, broaden our understanding of each child’s unique needs, and encourage a more conscious, individualized approach. Furthermore, I recommend it as an opportunity to learn, grow professionally, and gain knowledge that helps us better guide families with a sense of responsibility and a commitment to children’s health and development.

I’m a huge fan of this incredible couple!

“Dr. Martin Rosen and Dr. Nancy Watson have 40 years of experience with craniopathy and SOT chiropractic. They have taught many seminars, and fully love, know and thoroughly share this information. This is a must have book for ANYONE who has children, or is in awe of the human body, and has the desire to learn. They have created a through discussion of ‘normal’ vs. ‘common’, when it comes to many of the ‘common’ complaints and concerns for parents with their children, as well as some uncommon ones. They engage the parent and caretaker in such a way that allows a greater concept an understanding of basic anatomy, the nervous system, and the importance of CSF and allowing the dura-meningeal system to be free of restrictions. This gives a greater understanding of ‘normal’ primary respiratory motion and the freedom of the body to be at the optimum level of function, which creates ‘normal’ nerve flow, function and adaptation of the body as a whole.”

“All in the Head” is a great book. I was inspired to get it because it is easy to read and has pictures that make it simple and easy to understand. I use it all the time and have extra copies available for the clients. I recommend this book to any chiropractor working with babies and children. It’s a great way to educate families on how cranial distortions affect the neuromuscular development and the effects this could have as the child grows.

“Parents, doctors, educators…an amazing must read, ‘It’s All in the Head’, is a parent’s and practitioner’s ‘go to’ reference guide to often overlooked aspects of the growth and development of babies and children. It discusses tools to help children meet all their milestones and alert parents and practitioners to potential neurological and developmental problems and how to resolve these issues. It is written by Dr. Marty Rosen and Dr. Nancy Watson, who are leaders, practitioners and educators in the field of spinal, cranial and neurological development. This is a book for every parent to read before the birth of their newborn and every practitioner to use as a reference guide for their pediatric population.”
