Magnesium is involved in hundreds of processes throughout the body and is essential for healthy muscle function, sleep, brain development, emotional regulation and nervous system health. Despite its importance, many children do not consume enough magnesium through their diet.

PANS (Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) are conditions where a child’s immune system is thought to affect brain function, leading to a sudden onset of behavioural, emotional and neurological symptoms.
Parents often describe a child who changes almost overnight following an infection. A happy, settled child may suddenly develop anxiety, OCD behaviours, tics, emotional outbursts or severe food restrictions with little warning.

Poor appetite is a common concern in children, particularly when they eat very small amounts, skip meals or struggle to gain weight. While appetite naturally varies throughout childhood, ongoing poor appetite may indicate an underlying issue affecting growth, nutrition or overall health.
A poor appetite can sometimes be linked to digestive problems, nutritional deficiencies, recurrent illness or food sensitivities, making it important to look beyond simply encouraging children to eat more.

Reflux occurs when stomach contents flow back into the oesophagus, causing irritation and discomfort. While reflux is common in babies, it can also affect older children and may interfere with eating, sleeping and everyday comfort.

Sensory challenges occur when a child is either over-sensitive or under-sensitive to everyday sensory information such as sounds, textures, lights, smells, movement or touch. These differences can affect behaviour, emotional regulation, learning, social interactions and participation in everyday activities.
While sensory challenges are common in children with conditions such as ADHD and autism, they can also occur independently. Looking at the whole child may help identify factors that could be contributing to how their nervous system responds to the world around them.

Sinus congestion occurs when the nasal passages and sinuses become swollen and blocked, making it difficult for children to breathe comfortably through their nose. Ongoing congestion can affect sleep, concentration, learning and overall wellbeing.

Sleep plays an essential role in a child’s growth, learning, behaviour, immune function and emotional wellbeing. While occasional sleep disturbances are common, ongoing sleep difficulties can have a significant impact on both children and their families.

Occasional snoring during a cold or respiratory infection is common in children. However, regular snoring is not considered normal and may indicate that a child is not breathing efficiently during sleep.
Persistent snoring may be associated with enlarged tonsils or adenoids, allergies, nasal congestion, mouth breathing or other underlying health concerns that are worth investigating. Poor-quality sleep can also affect a child’s behaviour, concentration, learning and emotional wellbeing.

Children develop speech and language skills at different rates. While some children simply take longer to talk, speech delay can sometimes be associated with underlying health or developmental concerns that may benefit from further assessment and support.

Tantrums are a normal part of childhood development, particularly in younger children who are still learning to express their emotions and cope with frustration. However, frequent, intense or prolonged tantrums may suggest there are underlying factors affecting your child’s ability to regulate their emotions.
Behaviour is a form of communication. Looking beyond the tantrum may help identify health, nutritional or developmental factors that are contributing to emotional dysregulation.

Vitamin D plays an essential role in your child’s growth, bone development, immune function and brain health.

Low vitamin D levels may affect much more than bone health and can contribute to frequent illness, poor immunity, low energy and changes in mood and behaviour.
