Fi Lyburn Acupuncturist, UK

I embarked on Julian's paediatric diploma having a 3 year old and another one on the way. I thought I would just do part 1 to gain a few tips to treat my own children. It turned out to be so much more than that and I completed the end of the diploma distance learning so I know how effective it is to also do it online. In the 4 years that I have been treating children there have been some astonishing results of conditions that I would not have had the confidence to treat were it not for Julian. And my first paediatric patient is now training as an acupuncturist herself as the results for her were life changing. With a 7, 5 and 3 year old ourselves now, we have chucked out the calpol, the thermometer and have the confidence to say no to antibiotics and immunisations, and all my children are happy for me to treat them and my eldest even asks for acupuncture when she is unwell, so I can't recommend the course highly enough

Course Details and Description

Module 1

Course description

This module is the first of a five-part series that provides you with the essential tools to expand your acupuncture practice to include treating babies and children.

The first lesson will cover the two basic types of child; Shi - exuberant children with plenty of energy and Xu - those who don’t have quite enough. This provides the foundations for understanding what illnesses a child may be predisposed to.

Secondly, because good digestion is essential for healthy development, "Accumulation Disorder" (congestion and overloading of the digestive system) will be addressed with reference to Spleen Qi deficiency.

Learning Objectives

  • Have a greater understanding of how Shi and Xu constitutional types predispose a child to certain illnesses and conditions
  • Understand the role of digestion in the healthy development of babies and children
  • Learn how Accumulation Disorder develops, the common causes, signs and treatment
  • Understand how to differentiate Spleen Qi Xu and the appropriate course of treatment

  • 07 Spleen Qi Xu

Module 2

Course description

Having focused on the Digestion and Spleen Qi in Module 1, this module covers three commonly seen patterns of Kidney weakness; Kidney Jing insufficient, Kidney organ weak and Kidney Qi Xu.

Understanding how to treat the kidneys is essential when working with children. It is also imperative that you know how to adapt your needle technique because children are so sensitive to the effects of acupuncture. This module teaches you how to needle children safely and how to maximize your results.

In addition, the "Mother and Child" relationship will be explained as working with children extends to influences beyond the control of your little patient.

Learning objectives

  • Have a greater understanding of the role of the Kidneys in children's health
  • Learn about the differences between Kidney weakness; Kidney Jing insufficient, Kidney organ weak and Kidney Qi Xu
  • Learn how needling children is different from needling adults
  • Understand how the "Mother and Child" relationship will determine the effectiveness of treatment and prognosis of the illness

Module 3

Course description

Digestive health is the foundation of childhood development and constipation is common, either as a presenting complaint or as an additional symptom to another illness.

Often just regulating the bowels can be enough to clear conditions such as abdominal pain, insomnia, eczema, asthma etc. This module also covers aspects of diet that are most relevant in the treatment of children, based on traditional Chinese principles.

In addition, in this module we discuss chronic diarrhoea, the most common form in the clinic, and how to treat it with acupuncture and dietary advice.

Learning objectives

  • Understand how constipation in childhood can lead to a range of conditions such as abdominal pain, insomnia, eczema, asthma etc.
  •  Learn how to regulate the bowels
  • Understanding the energetics of food and common foods in a Western child's diet that lead to health issues
  • Understanding acute and chronic diarrhoea and how to treat it with acupuncture and with dietary advice.

Module 4

Course description

This module covers "Lingering Pathogenic Factors" – an event which includes ‘infection’ by a virus or bacterium, and also includes immunization.

An infection which might keep an adult in bed with a fever for a few days, can cause lasting damage to a child. The three common patterns will be taught: Spleen Qi Xu, Retention of Phlegm, Retention of very thick phlegm. This module also includes chronic cough which is one of the most commonly seen complaint in a children's clinic. And although not as common, the effects of cranial compression will also be taught in this module.

Learning objectives

  • Understand what are "Lingering Pathogenic Factors" and the longer term effects on a child's health and development
  • Learn about the three common patterns of LPF: Spleen Qi Xu, Retention of Phlegm, Retention of very thick phlegm
  • Gain an insight into how to treat chronic cough
  • Learn about the effects of cranial compression and how to manage it

  • 23 Lingering Pathogenic Factors 3
  • 24 Lingering Pathogenic Factors 4
  • 25 Chronic cough
  • 26 Chronic Cough Treatment
  • 27 Cranial compression

Module 5

Course description

This module is the last in this five-part series and covers two important topics: insomnia and enuresis (bed wetting).

Insomnia in babies and children is very common and Acupuncturists are frequently asked to help. Parents kept awake by their children are often desperate to try anything, as they themselves are exhausted. Nocturnal Enuresis is described as involuntary and repeated passage of urine during sleep. It is very common in young children.

The age when it is considered to be a real problem depends on the child and the parents, usually when the child starts to spend time away from home staying with friends when it is then an embarrassment. With virtually no western medical cure, acupuncture is an effective solution.

Something which makes this module very different from most other teaching is that it covers the prognosis - will the acupuncture work, and what are the favorable and unfavorable signs/situations.

Learning objectives

  • Understand the underlying causes of insomnia in babies and children
  • Learn how to effectively treat childhood insomnia while coaching parents with the best strategies
  • Understand Nocturnal Enuresis from a TCM perspective and how best to manage it
  • Learn how important the family dynamic and home environment is and the impact on a family with a child who suffers from bed wetting and insomnia

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does an online course work?

A: An online course is very similar to a ‘face to face’ presentation where a group of practitioners assemble in a venue and listen to a presentation. The only significant differences between an online course and a face-to-face presentation is that online course participants don’t share the same physical location as the presenter.

This ‘virtual’ attendance is particularly advantageous for practitioners who live in provincial towns or in semi-isolated locations and other circumstances where attending face to face events is challenging. The online arena also facilitates experts from other countries sharing their expertise internationally, without geographical barriers.

Q: Do I need to watch the videos at a particular time?

A: No, you do not need to be online at a particular time to watch the videos in this course. When you purchase a course, it will be available in your account for 1 year. You may login to the website at any time to take the course.

Q: Do I have to take the course in one sitting?

A: No, you may take the course at your own pace. Our modular format allows you to easily watch thebrief 15 minute – 30 minute videos and complete each module at a time that suits you, so you can easily watch a module when you have a spare minute, such as on your lunch break.
