If Naomi's parents are interested in complementary and alternative therapy, I would recommend mindfulness meditation. This practice involves staying present and calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations (Searight et al., 2012). Mindfulness meditation can help Naomi increase her emotional awareness, develop better self-control, and reduce stress through guided meditation and breathing exercises. These techniques can improve her emotional regulation, lower anxiety, and stress, and enhance her concentration and academic performance (Searight et al., 2012). However, I would advise against therapies like hypnotherapy, which may be too complex for her age, and herbal supplements, which could interact with medications or cause health issues due to her amoxicillin allergy
