“Everything was going so well, and now suddenly we’re seeing no progress at all...” 😫
That plateau in your child’s healing journey is often part of the process! 🧠 Research shows us that the brain’s neuroplasticity enables it to reorganize pathways, form new connections, and, in certain instances, even generate new neurons. “Two steps forward, one step back” pattern is your child’s nervous system reorganizing for deeper, lasting change!
When neurological progress seems to stall or even regress, it’s usually because of one of these five common factors:
1️⃣ Growth Spurts: Your child’s body is diverting energy to physical development
2️⃣ Immune Challenges: Even minor illnesses temporarily shift resources to healing
3️⃣ Environmental Factors: Toxins, mold, and even seasonal changes can impact progress
4️⃣ Emotional Stress: Major transitions or family changes activate the stress response
5️⃣ Therapy Overload: Too many interventions at once can overwhelm the nervous system
What looks like “no progress” is actually your child’s nervous system working harder than ever beneath the surface! 💪
We understand how hard plateaus in care can be when you’ve done so much for your child and you want the progress to be faster!! Just remember, the neurological healing journey isn’t a straight line; it’s more like a rollercoaster with its twists and turns. 🫣 BUT each plateau is just laying the foundation for the next breakthrough! We got this!! 🫶
