QiGong Sensory Training for Parents - Qigong Education, Support and Coaching

What is Qigong 4 Kids?

Qigong 4Kids was developed to educate parents as they progress through the Qigong Sensory Training Home Program. When a Trainer is not available in your area this site hopes to give you an educational option for support and coaching.

How can we help you?

Coaching - This support is designed to give the trainer the best possible view of you and your child as you do the technique. The parent sends in video of child and parent in a Qigong session for the trainer to critique. The trainer will send back information to educate the parent to improving their effectiveness.

Q & A Forum - This support is designed to give the parents the ability to ask questions about their Qigong Sensory Training process with their child. Questions will be answered and posted on the Forum for all participants to read.

How can I make this happen?

QiGong Sensory Training

Research on Qigong Sensory Training is presently being done by Dr. Silva in Salem, Oregon. Please visit her site for the latest in research and to purchase your copy of Qigong Sensory Training Home Program. www.qsti.org

All of Dr. Silva's research has been done with children under the age of six, who have autism, sensory, or regulation problems. A controlled study of the effects of Qigong massage in children over six has not yet been done. There is no data on the effects of Qigong massage on children over 6 years of age or typically developing children. There are individual case reports of Qigong Sensory Training used with siblings of children in the research projects and children of professional trainers, realizing improvement in their sensory processing.
