Welcome to Vital Child

Are you looking for help in your quest to raise happy, vitally healthy children?

“It takes a village to raise a child”    African Proverb

Vital Child was created by naturopath Jayne Larkins as a resource for parents, carers and others interested in the natural healthcare of children.

Vital Child understands that children can provide us with our greatest joys and also our greatest frustrations. Other guidelines Vital Child consider when treating children naturopathically include:

• All children are different
• There will always be an exception to the rule
• Children are capable of self-awareness to a degree that never fails to surprise us
• When given the right conditions for healing, children are astoundingly resilient
• It is usually more successful to include children in the mission, than to dictate the terms
• Treating your own children is completely different to treating other people’s children
• There is always something new to learn about children (and ourselves)
