Story

Find Your Inner Calm

One afternoon, as I was driving my 3-year-old son and his little friend tucked into their respective car seats, I heard them getting testy. I began to get nervous as I had to haul them to my chiropractic appointment. How was I going to manage two 3-year-old boys without someone having a meltdown?  Suddenly I was inspired with an idea that offered a potential solution. The idea was a point system that I could implement on the spot. The proposal was met with enthusiasm. I felt a sense of calm pour over me as my participant's attitudes and behaviours shifted on a dime. And the The Points System was born, valued, and taught to many with great results!
