Course Overview

This is an introductory course looking at the concepts that govern the treatment of children according to Chinese medicine. It looks specifically at factors that affect a child's health prior to birth, psychological development in the first 7 years, human development according to cycles of 7 and 8 years, and the different ideas about children's physiology that makes them different from adults.

The ability to understand the essential nature of children is key to obtaining good results in their treatment. If we only apply the standard adult-specific diagnostic tools, we miss so much of what is possible in helping children to heal and grow to their maximum potential.

This video is a chance to learn what it is that makes children unique, and sets the stage for further study in this critical field.

Disclaimers

Please read these important disclaimers before purchasing:

*CEU/CPD Approvals

Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days.

If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days.

We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top.

Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request.

If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
