have good verbal and problem-solving skills. Children also learn coping strategies by observing others around them. When adults exhibit calmness in the face of emergencies or other difficulties, children learn from this example and are less likely to pick up fears and more likely to be able to cope with their own moments of difficulty.
A few of the many nervine remedies offered by nature are especially appropriate for problems of stress in children.
Procedure: Make an infusion using one-half to one teaspoon of the mixed herbs to one cup boiling water. Sweeten with honey. The dosage is one cup three times a day. Alternatively, add 10 drops of the mixed herbs in tincture form to a cup of juice.
