Happy Healthy Kids Book

Book Happy Healthy Kids from Ian White

Happy Healthy Kids traces a child’s physical, emotional and spiritual development from preconception, through pregnancy and birth, to age seven. It is a very accessible, easy to use book jammed full of practical advice and case histories. Key emotional issues and a wide variety of everyday ailments a child may face at each stage of growth are described alongside easy-to-implement solutions and a selection of appropriate Bush Essences.


Ian’s 250 page book is the culmination and integration of his 30 years’ working as a practitioner with children, an even longer period of time involved in metaphysical and spiritual studies and just on 25 years of work and experience with the Bush Essences. Happy Healthy Kids is very accessible, easy to use, jammed full of practical advice and case histories. It is equally beneficial for someone who had never worked with the Essences before, as well as the person very experienced in working with the Essences – i.e. a practitioner.

Key issues a child may face at each stage of growth are described alongside easy-to-implement solutions and a selection of relevant Essences. The book covers a wide variety of everyday ailments – from colds, allergies and bruises, to burns, bed-wetting and car sickness – and discusses topics such as nutrition and vaccination. Happy Healthy Kids details how to handle a whole range of emotional challenges, from shyness and lack of self-confidence to aggression.
