Maintaining Cognitive Health in Children at Well-Rooted Pediatrics
Supporting Brain Development for a Brighter Future

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we understand the vital role that cognitive health plays in your child’s overall growth and development. Cognitive health is essential for acquiring motor skills, emotional responses, sensory processing, and other vital functions that support daily activities and academic success.

Understanding Cognitive Health

Cognitive health encompasses a wide range of brain functions, from memory and attention to motor coordination and emotional regulation. Early identification and intervention are crucial in maintaining and enhancing your child’s cognitive abilities.

Cognitive challenges in children may stem from various factors, including neurological conditions, head injuries, or developmental disorders. Some symptoms of cognitive issues may include changes in behavior, learning difficulties, balance issues, or changes in sleep patterns. These problems can arise from head injuries—whether from sports, car accidents, or falls—that may go undiagnosed or untreated. Early intervention is key to preventing these challenges from impacting your child’s academic and social life.

Symptoms and Common Cognitive Issues

Symptoms of cognitive health issues in children may include:

  • Difficulty with learning or retaining information
  • Motor skill delays, such as trouble with coordination or balance
  • Emotional or behavioral changes, such as mood swings or increased irritability
  • Sleep disturbances or changes in sleep patterns
  • Poor focus or attention, such as trouble staying on task
  • Difficulty processing sensory input, leading to over or under-reactivity to stimuli

Common conditions that may affect cognitive health include:

  • Learning Disabilities: Challenges with reading, writing, or math, often seen in conditions like dyslexia.
  • ADHD: Difficulty focusing, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that interfere with daily functioning.
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder: Social, communication, and behavioral challenges that can affect development.
  • Head Injuries: Concussions or other traumatic brain injuries can impact cognitive function and lead to long-term effects such as depression, vertigo, and balance issues.

Comprehensive Assessment and Personalized Plans

If your child is exhibiting symptoms of cognitive struggles, Well-Rooted Pediatrics offers thorough evaluations to assess underlying causes. We take a holistic approach, considering both neurological and environmental factors that may contribute to cognitive challenges.

Our assessments include:

  • In-depth evaluations of developmental history, academic performance, and social interactions
  • Behavioral assessments to observe attention, focus, and emotional regulation
  • Neurological assessments for head injuries or other potential underlying issues, such as vertigo or balance problems
  • Cognitive testing to identify learning disabilities or developmental disorders

After identifying the root cause of any cognitive issues, we work with you to create a customized treatment plan. Our goal is to minimize the impact of these symptoms on your child’s development, ensuring they thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

A Functional and Holistic Approach to Cognitive Health

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we take a functional medicine approach to cognitive health, treating the whole child. In addition to addressing symptoms, we focus on root causes such as nutritional deficiencies, environmental toxins, or hormonal imbalances that may affect brain function.

Our treatment plan may include:

  • Nutrition and supplementation: Tailored dietary recommendations to support brain health, including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that promote cognitive function.
  • Lifestyle modifications: Incorporating activities that support brain development, such as exercise, mindfulness, and adequate sleep.
  • Behavioral therapies: Techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or neurofeedback to enhance focus, emotional regulation, and overall cognitive function.
  • Customized therapies: Occupational or speech therapy, if necessary, to address motor skills, speech, or social communication challenges.

They healed my daughter’s eczema in 2 weeks (by finding the root cause, her leaky gut!) which regular doctors haven’t been able to do for 5 years! We love well-rooted!!

As an overwhelmed expecting mother, I was becoming extremely defeated as I interviewed pediatricians to help me care for my son when he arrived. As a nurse, I was searching for someone collaborative, respectful, patient, and would be able to provide insight and guidance with more depth than what I could quickly access on a Google search. Jessica and the staff of Well Rooted is a God-send, exceeding my expectations every visit! Jessica is extremely present during very visits, despite whatever is happening outside the exam room door. She is incredibly kind, gentle, patient and with excellent clinical skills and judgement! She has also been immediately available to me via phone on the weekend, when I have had a concern. I just love her and the entire staff at Well Rooted so much and I couldn’t recommend them enough!
