Helping your child with ADD Succeed  in School - Calgary

The latest ADHD / ADD research from prestigious universities and journals throughout the world agree that ADD and ADHD is one of the most common childhood conditions that involve behavioral symptoms such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Although the condition may begin during childhood, it can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Signs and symptoms of ADD / ADHD include a short attention span or being easily distracted; restlessness, constant fidgeting or over activity and being impulsive.

At Brain Awakening Calgary we have worked with many clients who display these symptoms. When we complete an evaluation we see that the large majority of people (both children and adults) have one thing in common, their low frequency at the frontal lobes are very active. This out of balance can lead to worry, fear, anxiety and racing mind.  With even a minimal amount of understanding of how the brain works, and how one subjectively experiences dominant low frequency brainwave activity, it begins to make sense why these types of symptoms could be manifesting.

Now who is to say whether or not this is a “problem”. I don’t think we really know enough about how the brain works and what is normal or not normal. One thing that I do know is when I work with clients who have been diagnosed with ADD or clients who struggle with attention and focus, I work on relaxing these active brainwaves. When these brainwaves come into balance my clients notice an improvement in attention and focus. Many clients report that their performance in school improves and parents report that their children appear to be much more calm and relaxed.

Below is a before and after report of one of my clients. The report shows the Low Frequencies at the start and again half way through the sessions. The client reported feeling calmer, focused better in school and a huge bonus was he was able to connect with the kids at the park better.
