Children’s follow-up: keeping Shonishin kind
Short sessions, a parent in the room, and stopping if a child is overwhelmed — Kyla Phillips.
Symptoms and what they can mean
A child who was curious last week and frightened this week. We follow the child, not the diary.

Red flags and when to see your GP
A feverish child or a child who is not themselves — GP, not a wellness appointment.
