We’ve all had our share of childhood memories waiting in uninviting, cold and bland doctor’s offices. Many of us even equate such places with bad experiences we wished as children we could easily forget.
The passion and desire to help children feel better about themselves led Dr. Kari Swain, a chiropractor in Iowa, to give the award winning books “I am a Lovable Me” created by Sharon Penchina C.Ht. and Stuart Hoffman, DC. as gifts to patients and as positive reading material in the waiting room and children’s area. By identifying with the powerful message that all children need to understand how much they are loved, she attracted more patients. By using the theme of “I am a Lovable Me” in her children’s treatment area, Dr. Swain was able to successfully reinforce both the physical and emotional wellness as the heart of her practice.
Making a Difference in the Health Community
In many ways, Dr. Swain, represents an outreach community leader by combining messages of unconditional love. Not only does this make a difference in how young patients can view a healthcare professional on their first visit, they also just feel good about themselves. Much better than a sticker or candy! As it shows, this message of love is not only powerful but is also attracting more and more families to her practice.
The Universal Theme of Love in “I am a Lovable Me”
In today’s materialistic world, children need constant reinforcement that their inner beauty is much richer than material things. Children need to be taught the importance of this educational value early on in their lives so they will still believe HOW special they really even if they don’t have the latest video game or brand new bike. They can then view the world with loving eyes knowing they are at peace with themselves.
Cute, loving and inspiring, “I am a Lovable Me” is a popular series that reinforces the message that that “Lovable” an enlightening bug is not just a character of a book, but that love can take many forms and exist in many places. But first, this universal theme of love and acceptance begins with how children perceive themselves.
Chiropractors Can Make a Difference in a Child’s Life
From this beautiful story, it is possible for chiropractors all over to create their own “lovable” communities and make sure their younger patients feel good about themselves before and after their visits. Sometimes a good book using a universal theme of love is all it takes to give that young child a special feeling they are loved and cared for. Lovable, the Enlightening Bug, says “My light shines bright for the whole world to see, I give other love and it comes back to me!” Hopefully, every child will continue to keep his/her inner lights of love shining way after a visit to the local chiropractor. And by encouraging children to feel good about themselves, even at a doctor’s office, it is possible for them to feel good all throughout their lives.
