Description

Neurofeedback jacks up the brain to an Einstein level. That's why many people get shocked when they learn how much of a game-changer neurofeedback is, especially in improving one's executive functioning and attention.Let's help your kids get things done and be more organized through the help of neurofeedback. It is a reminder that your kids are not lazy or hopeless and are not doing things on purpose.Let's dive into the discussion and ensure your kids will be more attentive and focused with better and higher stress tolerance.Start with the result, work backward, and teach the skillsThe biggest takeaway in being able to help our kids is for us to start with the result, work backward, and teach the skills. But to do that, we must have the patience and persistence to help us get through the tough challenges.Make sure to focus on the micro steps. After all, progress is progress, no matter how small. It will be a long journey, but change doesn't happen overnight. Just trust the process. In this case, the process is our BrainBehaviorResetTM (BBR) Program.When we work one-on-one with someone, we walk them up from the base camp to the summit. You don't get to jump through the base camp. It's not how life works. The brain needs reinforcement. It doesn't matter how intelligent your kid is. Reinforcement is important. What we can do to accelerate the process of helping our kids have better impulse control, cognitive flexibility, and stress tolerance, however, is by undergoing neurofeedback.What can we do to enhance the brains of these kids?Nowadays, the percentage of kids experiencing mental health issues is alarming. It has been heightened, especially during the pandemic, where kids have ADHD, OCD, anxiety, PANS, PANDAS, and more.Some kids find controlling their impulses and staying focused and motivated challenging. As a result, they have executive functioning issues. Some kids experience the same thing alongside another mental health issue, while some have executive function disorder as a standalone. We must focus on the structures and communication areas to enhance our kids' brains. It is where neurofeedback comes into the picture. Our previous podcast episodes mentioned how neurofeedback is a safe and effective tool, as evidenced by thousands of research and peer-reviewed studies for years.What neurofeedback does is it takes in ADD in executive functioning. Most of the time, we will have under-stimulated communication, so the brain performance isn't reaching the expected level. Instead, it shifts the brain from being unfocused to focused. Generally, what you see is the brain's communication areas underperforming. We call them "Waze brains" since they don't use the highway and send them off to go on the back roads. These kids' brains do not function as efficiently for many reasons. It may be because of genetics or birth trauma. It may be stress or a poor diet. The list goes on.Neurofeedback is like balancing the wheels of a carTo jack up the brain, we need a lot of nutrients. Another solution to get the brain working more smoothly is having neurofeedback, which is similar to balancing the wheels of a car. Everything goes from the dysregulation and under or overstimulation to getting them to work correctly.Like balancing a car, you'll see kids in calmer behavior and less stressed because they can see the results and solutions, which is a big problem for kids with executive functioning issues. But, unfortunately, they tend to need more ability to see the end results.Kids with executive functioning issues find it difficult to manage problems, but with the help of neurofeedback, stress is mitigated, and they get to face their problems and know what they need to do about them. What is neurofeedback, and how does it...
