Breathe, Sleep, Feed, Grow, Thrive - Dr Shereen Lim MBC#52
The vital role of a child's breathing patterns is often underestimated, yet it plays a critical part in their overall development—impacting sleep, educational growth, behavior, and even the physical development of their jaws and face, not to mention their long-term health.
Is your child grappling with snoring, attention challenges, ADHD-like symptoms, emotional regulation difficulties, recurrent ear infections, speech or feeding issues, teeth grinding or misalignment, etc.? These common problems may be signals of a deeper concern rooted in improper breathing or non-restorative sleep.
In the medical community, there's a significant gap in addressing these issues; too often healthcare providers overlook inquiring about children's breathing or sleep patterns. This oversight can lead to a dismissive attitude towards these critical health indicators, summed up by the all too familiar "they'll grow out of it." Unfortunately, children with unresolved breathing and sleep deficiencies may not simply outgrow these problems. Instead, they may develop alternate health issues that undermine their potential well into their adult years.
Recognizing the gravity of this situation, Dr. Shereen Lim, a pioneer among Australian dentists with qualifications in dental sleep medicine, brings over ten years of experience to the table in dealing with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Lim advocates for early intervention in airway health, transitioning away from merely managing symptoms of dysfunctional breathing towards fostering proper airway development from infancy.
Embarking on a journey with Dr. Lim's philosophy through her guiding principles of 'Breathe, Sleep, Thrive', you'll gain insight into recognizing crucial developmental milestones and signs of healthy airway and breathing configurations, pinpoint potential issues, and discover actionable strategies to correct these paths. The goal is not only to help your child manage but to enable them to fully flourish.
