25. Overcoming Constant Tantrums, Meltdowns, and Emotional Outbursts
In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses the root causes of behavioral issues in children from a neurological perspective.
He explains how a perfect storm of factors including high stress pregnancy, birth interventions/trauma, and early exposure to medications can lead to a child's nervous system becoming stuck in a sympathetic dominant, fight-or-flight state. This dysregulation of the nervous system manifests as behavioral issues, ADHD, anxiety, and other challenges.
Dr. Ebel emphasizes the importance of identifying these root causes and provides guidance on seeking help from a nervous system focused chiropractor to address the underlying neurological imbalances.
