6 Powerful Strategies to Increase Your Child’s Peak Performance
Improved concentration leads to better organisation, increased accuracy, reduced distractions, enhanced social interactions through attentive listening, and quicker mastery of new tasks and information.
Concentration and Focus
Effective concentration involves multiple brain functions working in harmony to achieve sustainable focus, receptiveness and stellar executive function
Common challenges include drifting into dreaminess or maintaining focus only for short durations before attention wanes. Anxiety or emotional stress can further complicate the ability to focus, making it difficult to zero in on tasks. Achieving a balance between a too broad and too narrow focus is crucial to avoid distractions and maintain attention.
Neurofeedback therapy employs brain mapping to pinpoint specific areas that may be impacting concentration. Training is then customised to address these unique needs, optimising the brain’s ability to focus.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is characterised by symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. While it is often diagnosed based on observed behaviours, we look for brainwave patterns in regions associated with impulse control, and attention regulation and imbalanced emotional states. We then train the brain into improved functionality so that the symptoms recede.
