Score 0 – 12

You are doing a great job supporting your child’s brain function however it’s important that you keep up this good work to ensure that your child’s emotional and behavioural wellbeing continues to operate at their best. 

Score 13 – 25

The answers you gave indicate your child may be experiencing behavioural problems and/or cognitive issues.  However, the good news is, you have identified the issue and are now in a position to make genuine improvements to your child’s wellbeing and happiness by following our guidelines. 

Score 26+

Your high score indicates that your child is quite probably experiencing behavioural problems and/or cognitive issues.  It’s likely that you are only managing the symptoms of your child’s condition, but not the root causes.  Your child may benefit from seeing a qualified health practitioner and undertake a specialised diet such as The Gut Repair Program (chapter 12).  You also could investigate the GAPS protocol which is listed in the diet library.
