How Does it Help My Child? As a parent, you bargain with your six-year-old to eat their broccoli, and after your pre-teen’s second hour of reality shows, you switch off the television and send them to play outside. These are all things you do to ensure that your children are as healthy as they can be — and Brain Training works the same way.
By helping kids and teens teach their brains how to function more efficiently, your son or daughter will be able to get a better night’s sleep, concentrate on their schoolwork and extracurricular activities, and calm down when something excites or upsets them. These are all issues that revolve around how we manage our own physical state of being — and (no surprises here!) the brain takes center stage in how humans regulate such behaviors. Through Brain Training sessions, your child is learning how to manipulate their brain waves to maintain a calmer, more focused state of mind…and they can then make the conscious decision to live their lives in that state each and every day.
Instead of trying to stifle
hyperactive behavior with the help of stimulants, or medically
lifting an anxious child’s spirits, neurofee During Brain Training sessions, a neurofeedback therapist is honing in on which brain functions need to be targeted during your child’s mental workout, and tailor the session accordingly, whether it’s the: Frontal Lobe, for impulse, movement, or speech challenges; Parietal Lobe, for areas like social awareness and pain perception; Occipital Lobe, for visual processing; or the Temporal Lobe, for auditory processing, physiological stability, and pattern recognition. Because this therapy helps children of all ages control and change the way their brain functions, neurofeedback has the potential to improve most behaviors. Of course, this includes just about everything, from thinking abilities and motor responses to behavioral, emotional, and social difficulties. After your child leaves each neurofeedback session and returns to their routine of school, homework, friends, and other activities, you’ll soon begin to recognize changes in their behavior and overall attitude. Not only will a once easily distracted child be able to recall the parts of the brain that help them focus on their math flash cards or spelling tests, but they’ll report a higher level of confidence that the things they once thought impossible — perhaps the ability to learn an instrument or make the honor roll — are now entirely within their reach.

It’s just like what happens when your child chooses an apple over a
side of French fries, or a round of kickball with friends instead of
a cartoon marathon: after they’ve learned to utilize their own brain
waves to avert unpleasant behaviors, they can make the choice to
handle any situation in the healthiest way possible.
