Kids seem to get hurt all the time. There is the I just stubbed my toe kind of cry, and then there is what I heard the other night.
Our back patio is all slush and water during the day right now, and at night it turns to a nice slick sheet of black ice.
My daughter was running with the dog and she hit a very slippery patch of ice.
She went face first into the concrete.
She got one bloodcurdling scream out and then was traumatized enough where she couldn't talk for a few minutes.
I hate those screams.
Once we got her inside, and figured out that nothing was broken, my wife did some very light relaxing muscle work on her and some very light adjusting.
After some ice, later in the evening I adjusted her. When I adjusted her pelvis, it sounded like the Chinese new year.
My daughter, has been adjusted since the day she was born. Her pelvis never sounds that loud. And, this is the kid who did a back dive off of a 6 foot loft at two in the morning.
If you think back to when you were a kid, you can probably remember some pretty good traumas. Kids unfortunately, adapt to these traumas very quickly. But, that doesn't mean that they don't have problems.
How do you think we got to be screwed up adults? Looking at my own x-rays, I figured out, I was between 10 and 14 years old when I got hurt bad enough to start changing the dynamics of my spine.
Parents will typically brushoff lots of Traumas because the kids aren't bleeding or the bones aren't broken, but those traumas can come back and haunt them 10 and 20 years later.
The mom who was in last weeks blog post, who brought her seven-year-old with asthma in, is very thankful. That little girl will forever be better, because she got adjusted.
