Understanding Childhood ADHD

Understanding childhood ADHD is one of our most important challenges today.
Our world needs creative, genius level problem solving and leadership.
We can no longer continue with outmoded ways of viewing the world and still meet the challenges facing us now, at the beginning of the twenty first century.
Our children are more than able to meet these challenges, but they need our help to reach their full potential.
It is known that a child's early environment has a very large impact on all levels of development.
The situation in the educational system is not easy for either children, parents or educators.
Since passage of the "No Child Left Behind Act" of 2001 (NCLB), schools are under enormous pressure to push students through curriculums, and children who are unable to fit in this rigid structure are often given the diagnoses of ADHD and put on medication to make them more manageable.
Medication prescriptions for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder for children under 16 has increased 33% since 2005 to more than 420,000.
Popular stimulant drugs like Ritalin and Concerta are known to suppress brainwaves connected with genius level creativity and can come with undesirable side effects.
There is growing concern that our most creative and brilliant kids are being suppressed by drugs and discipline in order to fit into an overly rigid system that ultimately thwarts their full development.
The educational system will be slow to change, so that means parents have the job of finding the best and healthiest ways to help their kids to thrive in a system that's not yet ready to deal with them as they are.
Brainwave Training Can Reduce Learning Disabilities Brainwave Training (EEG) is a non-drug approach to addressing learning difficulties as well as ADHD/ADD symptoms.
Brainwave training can improve school performance, behavior and reduce or eliminate the need for stimulant/anti-depressant medication.
Research has shown that EEG or brainwave training can help children to gain self-control, increase IQ scores and help eliminate problems like temper tantrums and out of control behaviors, bed wetting, and night terrors.
Another effective natural alternative to prescription drugs that is being used by many natural health care providers are herbal and natural remedies.
Herbs and homeopathic remedies have traditionally been used for all types of mental and emotional imbalances.
These herbs are backed by clinical research that supports their use to support calmness and balance.
ADHD Herbal Remedies
  • skullcap
  • german chamomile
  • gotu cola
  • ginkgo biloba
  • rooibos
Despite the challenges involved in raising a child with ADHD, supporting your child's full development is possible.
Finding the healthiest ways to help kids to thrive may include tactics like brainwave training and/or herbal and homeopathic remedies.
As with all treatments, everyone will respond somewhat differently and it's important to remember that it may take some time to begin to see positive results.
