71. The 5 Pillars of Holistic Health for Kids with Rose Irranca

Wondering if you're doing enough for your child's health? Rose Irranca, founder of Holistic Kids, walks through the five pillars of holistic health for kids - physical, emotional, cognitive, social and spiritual - and how to start with one small change.   **You'll Learn** - The five pillars of holistic health for kids - Why a tantrum can be a sign your child is out of balance - Small swaps that don't overhaul family life - The free app Rose uses for better food choices - Why your own self-care matters too   **Why This Episode Matters** When you're already stretched, health advice can feel like another list of things you're getting wrong.  Rose's five pillars help you see the whole picture - how sleep, feelings, learning, friendships and a sense of purpose all affect each other - so you can choose one area to focus on.  She keeps it to small, doable steps, with kindness for the parent doing the work, and you'll come away with ideas to try this week.   **Small Shift for Big Impact** Rose's small shift: take time out every day to be with your kids. Straight after school, sit down and play a game or watch their favourite show together. That quality time calms them, brings them joy, and is a chance to tell them you love them. **Take the Next Step** Create your free account at Holistic Kids and set up your own Holistic Parent Hub.
