Charities: … Dealing with the demands of Special Needs Children (Leiden University Psychologist) … Household Homeopathy (by Paediatrician, Dr Steven Buskin)… How to Communicate with Children …Profits were dismal, but Passionate Parenting will still be donating €300 to South African charities from the activities of the last 5 months.

Reply to this mail. 7. English Paediatrician & Homeopath
I have heard such good things about this doctor… The Homeopathic Clinic for Children is unique. It is a bridge between conventional and alternative medicine. Combining these fields provides your child with a specialist paediatric service, as well as the benefits of homeopathic medicine. The clinic treats a wide range of childhood disorders. Diseases like asthma and eczema are some examples. However, sleep problems, behavioural problems and irritability in babies are also forms of ‘illness’ and are given the same time and attention.

Also pilates private, duet or trio semi-private classes. This is my website in case you´re interested or know of anyone who may be.
