In West Van, helping kids manage stress improves learning outcomes The West Vancouver School District (WVSD) has started a very important conversation about the significance of self-regulation in early learning. It’s one they’re sharing not only with educators and parents, but with the community at large. Self-regulation is an integrated learning process that focuses on children developing constructive behaviours that positively affect their learning. This is not a new concept in educational, psychological or even social circles, according to Sandra-Lynn Shortall, WVSD district principal for early learning. “We’re really focusing on human development…understanding and honouring that people develop differently,” she says. There is a critical time in brain development from zero to five years of age during which self-regulation has the power to impact a child’s life-long trajectory, according to Shortall. “But that being said we also know based on both current research and intuitive knowledge that it is never too late to positively impact and enhance a human’s development. We have a big role to play,” she says. Examples of this role include changes in classroom design from bright colours to neutrals, more self-directed learning opportunities and the creation of microenvironments within classrooms for students to self-select their personal
attention to ignore distractions; understanding and engaging in social interactions; and connecting with and caring about others. “I think, traditionally in schools, we’ve often assumed that many of these day-to-day social interactions will just be figured out by children,” says Shortall.
learning tools. These learning tools can include a variety of resources from digital devices, stand up desks, noise-cancelling headphones etc. WVSD’s foray into self-regulation began several years ago as a ‘first wave’ school district with two other BC ‘first-wave’ schools that began making connections with researchers from the Canadian SelfRegulation Initiative (www.self-regulation. ca). The concept is now becoming embedded in classroom instruction in all curriculum areas and has expanded to seven districts. The district focuses on five different aspects of self-regulation: matching energy levels to the demands of a situation; monitoring emotions; focusing
“For many children…this doesn’t just happen organically.” Teaching self-regulation can begin before children start school. Through the lens of self-regulation’s five domains — biological, emotional, cognitive, social and pro-social complemented by emerging neurological, developmental research — we can connect these critical links for children and enhance their opportunities to thrive in the 21st century.
“Parents and teachers model behaviours,” says Shortall, adding that teaching selfregulation can be as simple as thinking before reacting to a situation and then verbalizing the thought process with your child. Talking about emotions and labelling them for children is a critical part of developing regulated and resilient behaviours in the early years. “Our children are learning directly from us… what we, as adults in our community, say and do matters. Selfregulation is a life-long process and a wonderful opportunity for community enhancement.” The school district has worked with a group of other community agencies to create spaces and opportunities for families that feature programs with a focus on self-regulation, heart-mind wellness, early learning, family engagement and community enhancement. A variety of programs can be found at the West Vancouver Child and Family Hub. A brand new centre, the Properties Family Hub, opens at the end of September. Kindergarten registration begins throughout the district at 8 am on October 15.

Is your Thyroid to blame? Have you ever wondered why some individuals are able to lose weight with diet and exercise, and other individuals cannot lose weight despite a disciplined program? Are you experiencing thinning hair, loss of lateral third of the eyebrows, mental fogginess and low sex drive? Have you had a good metabolism all of your life, and with menopause noticed weight gain around your midsection? Your thyroid may be to blame. But what if your thyroid tests appear normal? The standard blood test for thyroid function is called TSH, or thyroid stimulating hormone. This is a measure of how hard your thyroid gland is working to produce thyroid hormone. It is possible, however, for the TSH levels to be normal but other markers of thyroid function, such as T3 and T4, to be low. These levels are not commonly investigated unless the TSH level is out of normal range. If these levels are low, symptoms of hypothyroidism will be exacerbated. What causes low thyroid hormone production? Chronic stress, as well as unbalanced hormone levels, can decrease the production of T3, your active thyroid hormone. High cortisol levels
(stress hormones) can cause high levels of reverse T3, a hormone that binds to thyroid receptors and makes them less efficient. Low levels of the hormone progesterone can cause a decreased production of active thyroid hormone. This hormone typically will decrease with fluctuations in hormone levels leading up to menopause. Marine Drive Naturopathic Clinic offers Comprehensive Thyroid testing to measure all markers of thyroid function and determine the best treatment options for patients including prescription and natural approaches. Dr. Cathryn Coe has over 9 years of experiencing helping patients to
optimize thyroid function, including helping patients with autoimmune thyroid disorders. Knowing the levels of various thyroid hormones is the best way to determine how well the thyroid is functioning, even if you are already medicated for your thyroid gland. Marine Drive Naturopathic Clinic is the North Shore’s newest Naturopathic Clinic. Conveniently located on Marine Drive in North Vancouver, the clinic offers vitamin IV’s, acupuncture, food allergy testing, as well as hormone testing. Many extended healthcare plans cover Naturopathic Medicine. Patients can enjoy plenty of free parking and the clinic is wheelchair accessible.

Is your child nearsighted? You can help. Myopia (or near-sightedness) is a common visual condition where things far away are out of focus and difficult to see. In the early 1970s, only 25% of the population was myopic, but now it is estimated to be over 40%. A lot of research is focused on risk factors for myopic progression and developing ways to slow it down.
Impacting Factors Myopia is related to age, genetics, ethnicity and environment. Recent studies have shown an increased prevalence of nearsightedness in children who live in urban areas, do a lot of near work (reading or computer), and spend less time outside. Why is myopic control important? A high myopic prescription creates a dependence on glasses or contact lenses, but more importantly, it carries a higher risk of eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma and retinal detachment.
Vision Shaping Treatment Vision Shaping Treatment (VST), or orthokeratology, is the most established myopia control strategy. It involves wearing a contact lens retainer during sleep to reshape the surface of the eye, much like orthodontic braces for tooth alignment. Rather than physical contact, however, the process uses gentle and painless forces in the tears between the lens and the eye. When the lens is removed in the morning, the wearer can have 20/20 vision all day without glasses or contact lenses! Safe and effective, wearing
