Not Just a Flat Spot: What Every Parent Should Know

If your baby has a flat spot, uneven ears, trouble nursing, or always turns their head one way—it could be more than just a phase.

These early signs may point to cranial-facial distortions, which can affect how your child feeds, moves, sleeps, and even develops neurologically.

That’s why we created a parent-friendly course to help you understand what’s normal, what’s not, and what to do if you notice subtle imbalances.

Understanding Cranial-Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
10 self-paced modules, packed with clear guidance, visuals, and real-world tools for parents, caregivers, and professionals.

Unequal ear flares are more than a cosmetic variation—they can be an early indicator of temporal bone imbalance and cranial distortion patterns that influence a child’s neurological function, feeding mechanics, balance, and overall development.

When we understand how cranial structures grow and interact, we can better identify the subtle signs that something in the system isn’t adapting as it should.

If you’d like a deeper, clinically grounded framework for recognizing these early craniofacial indicators, our 10-week online program “Understanding Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development” walks you through the anatomy, physiology, developmental milestones, and common distortion patterns you’ll see in practice.

Every parent wants their child to thrive—not just physically, but emotionally, neurologically, and developmentally.

Pediatric chiropractic supports the nervous system at its foundation—removing interference so the brain and body can grow, regulate, and adapt the way they were designed to.

It’s gentle, specific care that gives your child the freedom to show up fully—in movement, in milestones, and in everyday moments.

A baby’s face should be fairly symmetrical—this balance is more than aesthetic. It reflects healthy cranial development, balanced muscle tone, and clear neurological communication.

Subtle asymmetries can sometimes signal underlying cranial distortions that affect feeding, breathing, digestion, and developmental milestones.
Knowing what to look for early on can make all the difference.

Did You Know?
Unequal ear flares—where one ear sticks out more than the other—can be more than just a cosmetic difference.

This subtle asymmetry is often a sign of underlying temporal bone distortion, which can affect cranial nerve function, auditory processing, and even structural balance across the entire cranium.

When you know what to look for, you can begin to understand how structure and function go hand in hand.

Distortions in the frontal bone (forehead) often begin at the cranial base—where the butterfly-shaped sphenoid bone lives. When this area is under strain, it can lead to an elongated or squamous forehead.

But it’s not just about appearance. These shifts can affect the growth and positioning of vital facial structures—like the mouth and jaw—and influence feeding, breathing, and speech development.

Understanding the connections between cranial structure and neurological function is essential for anyone supporting early childhood development.

In this program, you’ll learn to:
• Recognize the signs of balanced cranial and facial development
• Understand how early structural changes can affect overall growth
• Gain confidence in observing your child’s development through a new lens

You don’t have to be a healthcare provider to benefit from this knowledge—just someone who wants to support a child’s healthy start.

Sometimes, a single moment of courage changes the entire trajectory of a child’s life.

When a mother was approached by someone who noticed her baby’s cranial asymmetry, that conversation led her to the right people—and to the care her child truly needed.

Cranial-facial distortions like brachycephaly are often misunderstood and undertreated. Helmets alone don’t correct the underlying neurological and structural imbalances. Through specific spinal and cranial evaluation, chiropractors can help restore normal development and balance in the pediatric cranium.

If you want to understand how to evaluate and address these patterns in your own practice, join Drs. Rosen and Watson, along with Ashley Dalidowitz, in their online course:�“Understanding Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development.”

The Role of the Nervous System in Childhood Behavior

The nervous system serves as the master control center for the body. It processes sensory input, regulates physiological responses, and governs emotional regulation and motor control. When the nervous system is functioning optimally, children are more capable of adapting to their environment, focusing on tasks, managing their emotions, and communicating effectively. However, when stress or interference impacts this system, especially during key developmental windows, behavioral symptoms can emerge.

When a child exhibits behavioral challenges, tantrums, hyperactivity, trouble focusing, or sleep disturbances, the common approach is to label and manage symptoms. Many parents and educators are quick to attribute these challenges to psychological or environmental factors. But what if these behavior...

Sensitivity to touch, light pressure, or seemingly minor pain can sometimes be more than just heightened sensitivity—it may indicate an underlying cranial distortion.

When the cranial bones are out of alignment, they can affect how the nervous system processes sensory input. This can manifest as touch sensitivity, headaches, irritability, or challenges with focus and regulation.

Understanding these signals early allows us to support healthier neurological integration and development.
