This course offers to learn to read the child — from newborn to adolescent — as an organism under construction, whose physiology, immunity and psyche develop at their own pace. A field-based reading supports this growth; it does not diagnose nor does it predict anything, and in no way replaces pediatric or medical follow-up.
For non-physician therapists who wish to enrich their practice with a field-based approach adapted to children, as a complement to — never a replacement for — the pediatrician and the attending physician. No formal medical prerequisite: the course starts from scratch and lays out all the necessary vocabulary from the very first module.
Backbone of the whole course: a field-based approach is never a diagnosis, never predicts a health outcome, and never replaces a pediatric or medical opinion. Each module recalls this framework from its own angle; the final module, devoted to the therapist's limits and warning signs, brings it together explicitly.
The 8 modules of this Initiation form a coherent whole that is directly usable in your practice. For therapists who wish to deepen this discipline at a professional level, the Integrative Pediatrics Specialization Pack — with mentoring, on campus.frmi.ch — is offered separately, as the natural continuation of this pathway and not as a more complete version of the same product.
