"There’s been a very well coordinated program by the doctor with thoroughness in checking into my blood chemistry and physiological makeup. I’m feeling myself again. At one time when I was getting medications from my regular doctor I was getting numbness and tingling in one of my legs from diabetic neuropathy. But since I’ve gone on this program and followed it, the numbness has gone away, my legs feel springier, I actually walk my dog and even started to jog a bit. And at one time I couldn’t cut my grass without taking a five minute break every ten minutes. Dr. Bletzinger’s program has been tremendous and I hope to continue the success that’s going. It’s been very successful and I appreciate the doctor’s help."

“They’ll grow out of it.”
It’s the most common advice parents hear… but often the least helpful.
Generic advice like “they’ll grow out of it” can delay real solutions for kids.
A whole-child evaluation is essential because kids aren’t mini adults.
Quick fixes don’t solve long-term health or growth issues.
A personalized plan builds both recovery and resilience.
Parents deserve providers who listen, explain, and care.
Have you ever been told your child will just “grow out of it” when you bring up their pain, posture, or recurring issues?
As a parent, that advice can feel like a dead end.
The truth is, waiting and hoping isn’t always the answer, especially when your child’s body is developing fast.
This blog will unpack why generic advice fails kids, what whole-child care really means, and how the right plan helps your child thrive.
The phrase “they’ll grow out of it” is one of the most common responses parents hear.
It sounds reassuring, but it can be misleading.
Children’s bodies are constantly changing. Small problems today, like uneven posture, recurring ear infections, or sleep issues, can set the stage for bigger issues later.
Ignoring those signs is like ignoring a crack in your home’s foundation.
Sometimes it fixes itself, but often it doesn’t. And by the time it gets worse, the solution is more complicated.
One of the biggest flaws in generic advice is treating kids like adults.
Children need care that matches their unique growth, movement, and nervous system development.
That’s where a whole-child evaluation comes in.
Think of it as detective work. Instead of focusing only on a sore knee or stiff neck, we look at posture, growth stages, sleep, nutrition, and activity.
This bigger picture gives us clues to the root cause of the problem, not just the symptom.

Generic solutions like “rest,” “ice,” or “wait it out” are band-aids.
They may ease discomfort for a while, but they rarely create lasting change.
The danger is that symptoms return, and your child is left stuck in the same cycle.
Parents deserve more than quick fixes; they deserve answers.

Imagine fixing a cracked wall without checking the foundation.
That’s what generic advice does: it patches the surface but ignores the root.
A personalized plan does the opposite. It supports recovery now while strengthening your child’s body for the future.
For kids, that can mean:
Sleeping better
Fewer ear infections
Stronger immune system
Better focus in school
Confidence in sports and play
A plan is not about “one-size-fits-all.” It’s about tailoring care to your child’s unique needs and growth.

Parents often share how they were told to just “wait and see,” but deep down, it didn’t sit right.
They trusted their gut and sought out whole-child care.
And what happened?
Ear infections cleared up.
Colic improved after just a few visits.
Sleep got better—for kids and parents.
Posture and focus improved.
Hearing from other parents gives you hope and reminds you that you’re not alone.

When it comes to your child’s health, finding the right provider is everything.
Here are a few things to look for:
Special training in pediatric care (look for ICPA-certified providers).
Someone who listens to both you and your child.
A provider who explains things clearly, without jargon.
A whole-child approach, not just symptom-based care.
Trust isn’t built in one visit. It’s built when you see results and feel supported every step of the way.
