Little Things Matter: The Impact of Toxins on the Developing Brain

 Most of you know that I like to have a TON of FUN at my parties! But what you may not know is behind all of that FUN there is a passion. Not just a passion to help everyone save time and money, but a passion for why you should have a Safe Haven Home.
When I started using Norwex in 2013, my 2 year old had been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder (he is a seeker) about 6 months prior, and I had NO knowledge on how the chemicals we were using in our home could and were affecting him & the rest of us.  

It was a month after I had started just using my household package that I noticed a change in both of our kids, they were more focused, their moods had changed, my son wasn't acting out like he normally did & none of us were coming down with our seasonal coughs & runny noses (like we normally did that time of year).  
Last year I found this video, showing the impact of chemicals on the developing brain and it all clicked. Take a look. Until I saw it I had NO IDEA that chemicals could have so much effect on children.
The impact of toxins on children has been studied for the past 30 years; researchers have come to the inescapable conclusion that little things matter. They’ve discovered that extremely low levels of toxins can impact brain development and that subtle shifts in the intellectual abilities of individual children have a big impact on the number of challenged or gifted children in a population. Watch this video to learn about steps you can take to reduce children’s exposure to toxins or suspected toxins.

Combine that with the fact that only a handful of chemicals have been tested for their impact on human health out of the 80,000 that have been developed in the past 50 years & you can see why I am so passionate about this issue.
This is one of the reasons I use Norwex ( I LOVE saving time & money too!) and making your home a Safe Haven isn’t hard & won’t cost you a fortune. It’s really VERY simple.
