In the final instalment of this series, certified Parent Educator Sophia Klopp shares her experience of weaving Positive Discipline with MNRI, leading to better connection and collaboration with her child.

In this month’s blog, our guest writer, Sophia Klopp Certified Parent Educator, shares her family's ongoing journey with Neural Connections. Incorporating MNRI into daily life slowly but surely led to shifts in her son’s behaviour. Mornings became less explosive, and changes started becoming more noticeable with even his teachers noticing the difference in demeanour.

What happens when mornings become a daily battlefield — not because your child refuses to go to school, but because their body can’t? School refusal can often be a big challenge for families - with children acting out when they have to get to school. In this month’s blog, our guest writer, Sophia Klopp Certified Parent Educator, shares her family's journey with Neural Connections. After more than three years of an uphill battle of school refusal with her son, Sophia writes how MNRI® and Neural Connections offered her a new lens through which she could finally understand her son's behaviour. 

The MNRI Family Conference 2025 in Singapore took place from 24 November to 28 November at the beautiful Siloso Beach Resort in Sentosa. This year saw the participation of 20 families and 15 MNRI Core Specialists over a marathon of treatments taking place over the 5 days. This was the largest Family Conference to take place in Singapore to date.

We all know how important sleep is as restoration for the body and the nervous system, but our kids are just not sleeping well. From getting to sleep, to staying asleep - we put together a guide on how to help your child sleep better.

If you suspect that your child had ADHD, we’ve put together a list of DOs and DON’Ts to empower you to take the next steps that is best for your child.

One of the best ways for children to develop better self regulation is by working on all the sensory systems. 

For some children, understanding social boundaries is a challenge that impedes their ability to socialise and get along with their peers. This is an important skill for a child’s personal development if they are to relate to their peers and form age appropriate friendships. We investigate the behaviours that can show up when your child has difficulty with boundaries, why this might be the case, and what can be done to support them.

As parents or caregivers, it can be stressful when a child has a meltdown, especially so if it happens regularly. In this article, we explore what might be behind a meltdown, and how we can help them through it. 

From this moment forward we were thrilled about all the positive changes in our daughter. 

I tried my best to carry on the MNRI work at home however I felt I understood very little. Feeling overwhelmed but determined to make it work my husband and I knew we needed MNRI education ourselves. Thus I flew to India to attend the MNRI Neurotactile Integration and MNRI Dynamic and Postural Reflex Integration courses! 

From a very early age K began a wide range of therapies to target all areas of development in an effort to narrow the gap of delay. Regular physical therapy sessions began along with occupational and speech therapy. We added aqua based therapy and tried to do as much movement and sensory activities as much as possible. As we continued to move forward with K’s therapies, it began to feel like we were trying to plug many holes in a dam with our fingers. Unfortunately the number of holes were beginning to increase and the situation was becoming increasingly more overwhelming and stressful. For every step forward we were making, it felt like we were taking two backwards.

Like many new parents-to-be, we were full of wonder about how our first-born daughter would develop in the days, months and years ahead: “Would she be healthy? Who would she take after, Mom or Dad? What activities and hobbies would she enjoy?” As I reflect back to that time and our journey of our daughter’s development together as a family, I am truly thankful that it has not only led us to MNRI but it has also provided an eye-opening education into the marvels of human development.
