5. Meditation
Meditation has profound effects on the mind and the entire body. Its positive effects have been validated on multiple occasions. Regular meditation creates changes within the brain that aid concentration and enhance feelings of well-being. Meditation can make the brain more receptive to learning and facilitate the retention of knowledge.
Even young children can be taught how to meditate. It is an outstanding therapy for individuals who suffer from impulsivity. Meditation is sometimes used in educational settings to help children calm down so that they can better focus on learning. It aids self-esteem and helps people to feel like they “belong.” This is important because many individuals who have ADHD feel “different” or isolated.
In October, kids have one thing in mind: Halloween. But Halloween with an ADHD child can put you in a challenging situation.
