Children and fears
Bach flowers are particularly suitable in pediatric age, because they have no side effects and children respond to these essences quickly and effectively. Each emotion corresponds to a floral essence, to each child a prevailing mood that can indicate the Bach flower that is most suitable for him.
The feeling most manifested by children is fear, which causes anxieties and worries in the smallest, conditions their being up to real behavioral blocks, accompanied by crying, screaming and agitation; in the greatest causes introversion, shyness, discomfort and panic.
Let's see together how to help our children with the right essences for each individual case.
