It doesn’t matter what your child is into; sports, drama, music, writing, videography …the possibilities are as endless as their potential.

What does matter to us as parents is not only them growing into that potential but maximising it. We want them to have the best start.

That’s why at Quantum Kid we have seen, regardless of the activity their into, kids go better with some key fundamentals being in their lives:

• Nose breathing - this is essential. There’s no navigating around it, if a child is to thrive, they must be nose breathers by day and night. Full stop. End of argument.

• Sleeps Well - in children the brain grows and develops overnight. For ideal brain development your quantum kid needs to be in bed early, sleep through the night without snoring or grinding and wake up with the sunrise. Again, another non-negotiable.

• Broad Smile - form follows function…never was this more true than in a growing child. A broad straight smile (without braces) means a functional, well formed skull. The face is merely an expression of well-formed cranio-facial growth, not an isolated phenomena.

• Eats Well - food is the building block of a growing body. Happy, healthy kids eat well by nature. And good whole foods by nature, create happy healthy kids.

• Outdoor Time in Nature - What do people say when an adult is stressed? “Go spend time in Nature”. Why is this and how can we harness the same healing forces in our kids? It’s as simple as outdoor time, in the morning or evening sunshine, barefoot if possible, just make sure it’s in a place where there’s ample green or blue surrounds.

• Active and Moving - exercise and movement for kids isn’t about fitness etc. Exercise is critical to stimulating bone development, as is sunlight, so getting active outdoors is a real win/win

• Strong Posture - All these factors create strong, upright posture and given they all avoid screen time, the number one enemy of good posture, why wouldn’t we want them?

• Engaged and Happy children - Let’s face it, parenting is tough. We’re very aware that there’s no easy utopia and we don’t have everything your child needs to live a happy, stress free life. We do however understand some of the key health principles and requirements for robust good health in childhood. And just like you, we’re at the coal face, not dictating from on high, so we speak, coach and practice from a genuine place. Above all, our mission is to help you and your family towards raising your own quantum kids and we have some of the best tools available to help.
