yes alot of children are kinesthetic learner but it isn't always the answer i was diagnosed with ADHD when i was born and i couldent read untill i was 5 and properly untill i was 7 i still struggle with mathematics and i have tryed kinesthetic learning techs and they don't work for all people just saying that not everyone with ADHD cant be resolved this way :)
these meds that phsycologists or other doctors give your children, have side affects worse then then adhd or add, and are only temporarily curing the add/adhd, im not sayin to let them smoke marijuana, but im juss sayin i quit all the medication was supposed to take for marijuana, and ive been alot better, i dont seem to have wheezing problems anymore, my neck arms face and legs dont get irritated, and i do alot better i n school, this is my first year with me not being in summer school!
im 15 ive been on meds for asthma, allergies, add, adhd, ext,
and could never get anything done, i got shots 2 times a week for alegies, 2pills 2 times a day for add, 1 pill for adhd, and a inhalor for asthma, i was doped out all day, and had f's so this is juss from me but dont put your kids on meds its the worse thing ever!, and im against drugs but i tried marijuana and went to school medicated to that, hmm wonder why my grades started getting better? (next comment)
ADD, ADHD and even Kinesthetic learners are all labels that completely fuck up a kid. Sorry but I was raised on Ritalin for 9 years and it sucked ass. All those bitching about your meds...YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY. Our diagnoses is only a theory to sell drugs. Kids get misdiagnosed because there is no conclusive test in exsistance that proves it's real. You are fine the way you are bcuz you are perfect the way you were made. Schools are the problem and the society that accepts drugging kids.
The greatest medical invention of the 20th Century is the JUICER. If parents stop putting so many poisons into their children's bodies (refined and processed, genetically modified, and, yes, cooked foods), and start infusing them with fresh organic vegetable juices, the kids will shed all sorts of limitations, and they'll excel all by themselves. They don't need learning methods which cater to their symptoms -- they need healing. In the meantime, for sick kids, these methods are useful, imho.
I have ADHD lolz. There's a high level of irony going on in me. I'm a violinist, actually super good at it, and I can read music quite well. The irony, I can't read a book without straying off somewhere else.
i have ADHD. it sucks... my mom is always bitching at me. she always says, "take your medicine". it pisses me the fuck off!!... because she says that like its a fucking CURE. but it sure as hell is NOT.

Kinesthetic learners are just what she describes and that style can look like ADHD. You really won't lose much except time and money by trying a kinesthetic learning approach - you shouldn't need to take medicine. For the right people, meds like Ritalin can be a real blessing, but they can also be a real problem. Always get professional help and if things are not getting better and going right, get another opinion. It can take seeing a handful of "docs" to find the right approach.
thanks for sending me this video. I think that a well balanced diet is helpful...if kids are eating sugar all day and fats..then who knows how the brain is developing...along with these techniques here on the video make a BIG difference and its all about, relating to the child and caring enough to help them rather than just pushing pills ....RIGHT???? you are a good person! good for you!
Peeps... I suffer from ADD at school , but I can easily play xbox and make YouTube videos... Also I can mobile dj??? So have I got add and do I need to be on Ritalin SR?? Please reply . Thanks.
are there any estimates of how many people have been misdiagnosed with these disorders when its not ADD or ADHD at all?
even one child having to take medicine that they don't actually need is one too many so I applaud this video and all the work you do helping people learn
it would be nice if every school had at least one person who specialized in kinesthetic learners just so parents would at least know that there are other possibilities besides ADD and ADHD
Not everyone who teachers think is ADD is actually. When Iwas in elementary school my teachers wanted me to take medication but my parents sought alternatives and I was able to do well in school by getting tutoring that sounds very similar to the system talked about in this video
Mrs. Linksman in the video is sincere in wanting to help people and she knows what she is talking about. She has helped a ton of people including adults who had so called ADHD or ADD.
I have an aunt who has taught middle school for nearly 20 years and one of her biggest complaints in that each year more and more kids are being medicated before other teaching methods are tried out first.
@LILcutee6 yes i have taken ritalen and i have researched it it was said that ritelin is veyr adictive and dangerous when iw a son ritalin my stomache felt like it had chalk and rocks and i was like a zombie i was very moody and always grouchy or touchy
You just need the right balance along with the meds and you can function really well.
But don’t stop taking the med if you need it cause nothing else will work its part of the brain that isn’t working correctly it’s a physical thing and I need feeding on stimulants and positively nothing else will fix it.
I have ADD and I get straight A's. Even before I started taking medicine. It justs takes a little motivation to get yourself to learn and do what you have to do
i am kenesthetic and i used to get mad at school because they was not learning me anything and when i needed help they said shut up and be normal so i got kicked out off school because they thought i was deliberatly not learning what are your views on this oh and im 14 and got kicked out when i was 12
@believerornot Make up your mind. First you state AD/HD doesn't exist. And then in the very next sentence you claim to know *the* cause of AD/HD ["processed food"]. "...everything else is bullshit". Can I ask you something here? Did you always just know this, or was there a process of study, effort, and discovery where the facts alone lead you to conclude so broadly.
doctors tried to put me on ADD medication several times and it made me twitch a lot or it made me a zombie and consentrated less in class,best idea is to leave it alone or get a tutor.usually grow out of it by 16-25 lol or increased 16-25 depends on the person
add people are just different, i am add adhd and bipolar and i have hallucinations, ive noticed the best thing for me personally is when i become frustrated with one thing, i move on to something else, so my hobbies are multiplying rapidly lol. if a kid with add or adhd really wants to learn something they will actually learn it faster and excel really fast.you have to keep them from getting bored thats the problem, once they get bored their minds just shut off like a light switch lol
@believerornot AD/HD is actually NOT an illness! It's a *condition*; one which is treatable. Most who have it were born with it. But it also occurs in cases where there is a known date and cause of onset, e.g. physical/physiological insult. (continued below)
(continued from above) And, @believerornot, one other thing I think needs to be stressed here: Stop thinking of it as a *childhood behavior* problem. It's far more than that. As a matter of fact it does not always involve problem behavior. Nor is it confined to childhood. (But it's important to understand that the earlier on the therapeutic intervention, the less it will hamper one's future quality-of-life and/or other potential... Hence >> treat the child!)
I used to work at an independant school where the mulitple intelligences was highly celebrated. In the lesson plans we would have to incorporate at least 3 M.I. to cover the different learning styles of the children. I found this video very helpful since teaching is the field I am pursuing. Thanks!
@believerornot i think you are somewhat right... i agree that ADHD is not an illness.. I think kids need to be disciplined more and they won't whine and say that they don't want to do homework.
Joy is ultimate reality. You are predisposed to joy. You are like the sun. You must not let a day go by without experiencing the joy of your own perfection. Robert Adams
Check out ---> The Truth about ADHD from their mouth! on yt.
And listen to Dr Vonnegut saying that they keep changing the 'diagnosis' or the definition of what this so-called disease actually is. Total fraud. They pretend to know when in fact they don't.
labels, labels, labels. The world is going crazy with labeling and diagnosing which makes children and people crazier an crazier. All of this agitation is a symptom of something deeper going on and everyone spends all of their time on the symptoms. I don't believe in this ADHD. I believe it to be a symptom of a modern and unhealthy lifestyle. Too much media. Not enought quiet and real connection to self and others, Not enough nature as in natural.
@claudelebel55 so your theory is that if people go for walks in the woods then they will magically be able to concentrate? i have been diagnosed with adhd and i dont really care about what the docter labels me, if i sit still for more then 20 minutes my hands start to drip with sweat and i grind my teeth, ive had tooth replacements because of my teeth grinding. It sickens me when you say that there is nothing wrong with me and i just havent had my quiet time.
@maxwelltripp listen, this is a short statement so don't go reading things I did not say into it. I have no idea who you are and what you have been through. I didn't say that going for a walk in the woods would suddently make you better. All I said was that where we are now is often an accumulation, an adaptation to a stressful and possibly disfunctional environment. Do you think it normal that so many people are on pills in this day and age ? and every year there are more and more..... cnt'd
@claudelebel55 Pretty soon half the country will be medicated... if we listen to psychiatrists and drug companies. So yeah, you may be in a very painful situation, one that is calling you to do something about it. Personnally I think there are better ways than killing the symptoms with drugs. You might look into meditation or read 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. He used to suffer terribly from depression. Byron Katie is another person who used to be extremely dysfunctional ..... cntd
@claudelebel55 She was dysfunctional and is now a worldwide teacher helping people to find peace. You can get a taste of these teachers and many others by listening to them on youtube or you can do what millions do - knock yourself out with drugs, alchohol, and whatever. All of this adds up to a fear of facing oneself, of being at ease with oneself. It's a conscious process and requires real courage. I doubt that you were born stressed out, not being able to stand yourself. So what happened ?
@claudelebel55 you seem like a very educated person and arguing with you would be benign after an argument like that, i have been like this as long as i can remember and i can agree that there are way to many kids saying "well i got a c+ in math once, can i have an adult dose of Ritalin?"
@maxwelltripp One of my friends that lived in my dorm back in prep school used to say... "Pot for writing, and Ritalin for math" I always thought that was funny. The Ritalin often helped me with the math, never had the chance to try weed for writin' though!
@maxwelltripp Learning to be at peace, being quiet, makes concentration much easier. From what you are saying, it seems like you have alot of things stuck in your head, going round and round. At least for me, ADD was a lot of that. This is something all people have to deal with once in a while, those with ADD sometimes have more of a problem with it. Check out EFT. It may seem like nonsense, but laugh at yourself and give it a shot anyway. I watch Healingmagic channel on Youtube.
I learned to read the right way First & Thank God I had a super high reading comp level because after Phonics was introduced it Messed me up. if you can learn 2 read the right original way, do not waste time on phonics you will get confused by ther2 different types of learning
I'm a kinesthetic learner and I have ADHD. This is like having the flu and a toothache (not that they're both diseases, just unrelated). ADHD is about being unfocused, the hyperacticity is a symptom, because it jacks up your epinephrine, which influences dopamine levels. But some kids with ADD have negligible hyperactivity and are still diagnosed with ADHD. And sometimes medication helps, and sometimes it's not necessary. But don't confuse ppl saying that ADHD=kinesthetic learning type.
@TheDarklord0211 You missed what I was saying. "Hard" here is meant as in 'hard to effect change in'; no wiggle room for merely promisingly attractive ideas, claims, etc; a hard problem that you are, like, tightly chained to; it just won't shake off, not even briefly. Only AD/HD medication permits at least some degree of needed change to occur, albeit in a mere part-time/short-term way. Hence, why I offer to claim I speak here not from *mere* opinion on this topic.
Great work. I agree, we just need to adapt to the learning preference of the child or brain - unlock the potential of an amazing brain, instead of medicating and dulling it.
@SSuperCuriouss In my personal experience as a kid who's parents thought exactly the same thing you just said: after 20+ years without medication I can tell you I lost one in a life time opportunities over and over again from college scholarships to business, and just because it was so hard for me to focus, to apply my self, going trough periods of complete slaking and day dreaming...
If you have a medical condition denial won't help, if a child needs meeds don't deny them the opportunity.
@Ramiromasters - Tx for sharing. I was kept in during breaks and after school often, because of day dreaming too. I had to find ways around my learning difficulty, and got a scholarship, studied engineering, and today I am a very successful senior engineer at a big corp company. I struggle with focus, yet have hyperfocus & creativity. Sure, pills can help, but its not always the best or only way. And I have to confess, I might have dual exceptionality - both learning disabled AND mentally gifted
No. The case with AD/HD medication's effect on the brain is that of the complete reverse of "dulling it". Provided the dosing is fine tuned to the individual's response, it's purpose and result is actually to sharpen it, making it more alert and easier to focus. It is the AD/HD condition itself rather that *dulls* the brain.
People can spout all the anecdotes they want about non-medication alternative diagnoses, treatments, etc. But they do so at the peril of the children whose parent's are easily pursuaded to forgo medication where actually needed in favor of well meaning but misplaced "medication-free" wishful thinking. If the child truly is a, so called, kinesthetic learner, fine let's deal with that. But not as a replacement for properly diagnosing and treating the ADHD where it exists.
@ergwire2 That may be your opinon. My opinion is that ADHD is one of many disorders in DSM that is utterly meaningless. A kid with spunk or high intelligence, who's energy and focus is misplaced. Only in America, the land of pharmacopia, everything is solved with a pill. Never mind the "side effects" by the way. Ritalin, or methanphetamine, is mind control in a pill. It can be helpful for the short term, to assist someone with learning to concentrate. It is not THE answer.
I speak not from mere "opinion" but hard personal experience. I'm an adult dx'd with AD/HD-I (i.e. Inattentive w/o hyperactivity). Though officially diagnosed only a couple of years ago,this condition goes back as long as I can remember. As a kid I had atypical struggles. But as I approached adulthood I began to sense something seriously was not right, but I could not explain it. Running out of space here.. I now I realize the permanent loss to me due to no AD/HD dx & med. trtment as a kid.
@ergwire2 Same here. I was diagnosed with "ADD" by Dr Hollowell himself while I was in school there. He practically wrote the book on ADD, and wrote numerous books on it. At least for me, the meds solved nothing. I learned to deal with it myself. Prior to getting a pilot's licence I was re-evaluated by another expert, had EEG brain evaluations, the works. His opinion was that I was hyperfocusing. The problem was not that I could not pay attention, I focused on what I wanted to.
@tekdiveraz I'm happy to hear you say that. There are reasons why people can't pay attention. If I have a rock in my shoe (or the equivalent in my mind) of course it may be difficult to pay attention. You don't have to make it into a disease although doing so is obviously very profitable for the drug companies. Check out: Psychiatry EXPOSED! on yt. Most people will be shocked to hear what these psychiatrists have to say.
One more comment: I'll ignore the "mind control in a pill" nonsense. But I won't ignore your admission that medication can be helpful for the short term, to assist someone with [AD/HD?] to concentrate." Here you are correct. The current AD/HD medications only work in the short term: that is, for the first few hours of the person's day (more or less). Of course they aren't a cure. A cure doesn't exist. AD/HD medication is not THE answer, of course. That's because there is no, THE answer.
@ergwire2 I agree. From my personal experience, it is a behavioral issue. There may be predetermining factors that predispose people towards having "ADD" but they are not well understood. Putting lables on kids and giving them anphetamines are not in my opinion helpful. Working with the kid to understand that they are smart, and as so they need to work to apply all that energy in the right direction is more constructive to me. The only thing that worked for me to find focus was EFT.
@tekdiveraz Concerning EFT, the real magic is in the self-acceptance; loving yourself as you are. My feeling is that you could tap your big toe and it would still work. It's about disolving resistance and negative programming which is the main source of suffering for all of us.
@claudelebel55 Eft seems to facilitate getting over all the negative programming about what is wrong with oneself and allows one to accept themselves as they are, with all of their faults and gifts. My point is that "ADD" for many is the stigma that holds them back, robs them of their own power to have their life the way they want it to be, rather than getting what they don't want.
@tekdiveraz I have no problems with that. All I was saying was that the tapping and where you tap is secondary. What is important is the self-acceptance. We have enough negative labels in our heads without adding ADD and ADHD to the list.
You can cure yourself. Faith moves mountains. A big start is not believing that you are broke, but instead see your gifts for what they are. The obstacles for what you want will fall away.
@dinamo4889 You might have become more disciplined with the military, the same way I did with martial arts.. but curing it, in my opinion, is not possible. A person with ADHD will screw up sonner or later, its just a matter of variation of concentration... sometimes you concentrate, others, you wonder where is your mind.
Thank you - as a Brain Gym teacher i can wholeheartedly second this !
Movement is the door to learning ! Paul Dennison phD has done life long studies on this - In Edu K we are looking at the integration of the whole brain for learning!
All the best and succes with your program! Dorothea Bassett, Brain Gym teacher &Prof. Kinesiologist - Perth Western Australia
So many kids are pegged with these "disorders" because they are forced to start the learning process at such a young age. I had problems with reading comprehension because it took me until adulthood to be able to recall long sequences of facts, as well as grasp the concept of inference. I didn't have a learning disorder. I was just not fast enough for the masses.
Me too! It's a simple fact that everyone develops at different rates. In my case it was the onset of puberty that seemed to "kick start" my brain's ability to process information more efficiently. Now I'm 55 years YOUNG and I swear my brain works faster and more efficient than does the brains of my older siblings who were supposedly smarter than me,lol.
i think ADD is a made up "dis-ease" for children that eat garbage food, like cheese, chef boyardee, yellow #5, and fluoride in water. RAW FOOD is the only answer i see.
If someone were to watch this that either has ADD, ADHD, or also a learning preference, then it would be very hard to even get through the whole video. You might want to rethink your audience. Maybe even get some emotional support,
@FlippyMyFloppy Yea, there are a few strengths about ADHD. There is an open-mindedness to new ways of thinking, acting, organization and work ethics, there is a deepend desire to work hard once you find something that you can complete or not get distracted with, and there is a mature super-focus that is attained through countless times of failure and not "getting things finished" god or bad.
I don't have enough patience to watch it till the end

Can I ask you something here? Did you always just know this, or was there a process of study, effort, and discovery where the facts alone lead you to conclude so broadly.

doctors tried to put me on ADD medication several times and it made me twitch a lot or it made me a zombie and consentrated less in class,best idea is to leave it alone or get a tutor.usually grow out of it by 16-25 lol or increased 16-25 depends on the person

add people are just different, i am add adhd and bipolar and i have hallucinations, ive noticed the best thing for me personally is when i become frustrated with one thing, i move on to something else, so my hobbies are multiplying rapidly lol. if a kid with add or adhd really wants to learn something they will actually learn it faster and excel really fast.you have to keep them from getting bored thats the problem, once they get bored their minds just shut off like a light switch lol

@believerornot AD/HD is actually NOT an illness! It's a *condition*; one which is treatable. Most who have it were born with it. But it also occurs in cases where there is a known date and cause of onset, e.g. physical/physiological insult. (continued below)
ergwire2 9 months ago
(continued from above) And, @believerornot, one other thing I think needs to be stressed here: Stop thinking of it as a *childhood behavior* problem. It's far more than that. As a matter of fact it does not always involve problem behavior. Nor is it confined to childhood. (But it's important to understand that the earlier on the therapeutic intervention, the less it will hamper one's future quality-of-life and/or other potential... Hence >> treat the child!)

I used to work at an independant school where the mulitple intelligences was highly celebrated. In the lesson plans we would have to incorporate at least 3 M.I. to cover the different learning styles of the children. I found this video very helpful since teaching is the field I am pursuing. Thanks!

@believerornot i think you are somewhat right... i agree that ADHD is not an illness.. I think kids need to be disciplined more and they won't whine and say that they don't want to do homework.

@claudelebel55 so your theory is that if people go for walks in the woods then they will magically be able to concentrate? i have been diagnosed with adhd and i dont really care about what the docter labels me, if i sit still for more then 20 minutes my hands start to drip with sweat and i grind my teeth, ive had tooth replacements because of my teeth grinding. It sickens me when you say that there is nothing wrong with me and i just havent had my quiet time.

I didn't say that going for a walk in the woods would suddently make you better. All I said was that where we are now is often an accumulation, an adaptation to a stressful and possibly disfunctional environment. Do you think it normal that so many people are on pills in this day and age ? and every year there are more and more..... cnt'd

@claudelebel55 Pretty soon half the country will be medicated... if we listen to psychiatrists and drug companies. So yeah, you may be in a very painful situation, one that is calling you to do something about it. Personnally I think there are better ways than killing the symptoms with drugs. You might look into meditation or read 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. He used to suffer terribly from depression. Byron Katie is another person who used to be extremely dysfunctional ..... cntd

@claudelebel55 She was dysfunctional and is now a worldwide teacher helping people to find peace. You can get a taste of these teachers and many others by listening to them on youtube or you can do what millions do - knock yourself out with drugs, alchohol, and whatever. All of this adds up to a fear of facing oneself, of being at ease with oneself. It's a conscious process and requires real courage. I doubt that you were born stressed out, not being able to stand yourself. So what happened ?

@claudelebel55 you seem like a very educated person and arguing with you would be benign after an argument like that, i have been like this as long as i can remember and i can agree that there are way to many kids saying "well i got a c+ in math once, can i have an adult dose of Ritalin?"

@maxwelltripp One of my friends that lived in my dorm back in prep school used to say... "Pot for writing, and Ritalin for math" I always thought that was funny. The Ritalin often helped me with the math, never had the chance to try weed for writin' though!
tekdiveraz 9 months ago
@maxwelltripp Learning to be at peace, being quiet, makes concentration much easier. From what you are saying, it seems like you have alot of things stuck in your head, going round and round. At least for me, ADD was a lot of that. This is something all people have to deal with once in a while, those with ADD sometimes have more of a problem with it. Check out EFT. It may seem like nonsense, but laugh at yourself and give it a shot anyway. I watch Healingmagic channel on Youtube.

I'm a kinesthetic learner and I have ADHD. This is like having the flu and a toothache (not that they're both diseases, just unrelated). ADHD is about being unfocused, the hyperacticity is a symptom, because it jacks up your epinephrine, which influences dopamine levels. But some kids with ADD have negligible hyperactivity and are still diagnosed with ADHD. And sometimes medication helps, and sometimes it's not necessary. But don't confuse ppl saying that ADHD=kinesthetic learning type.

@TheDarklord0211 You missed what I was saying. "Hard" here is meant as in 'hard to effect change in'; no wiggle room for merely promisingly attractive ideas, claims, etc; a hard problem that you are, like, tightly chained to; it just won't shake off, not even briefly. Only AD/HD medication permits at least some degree of needed change to occur, albeit in a mere part-time/short-term way. Hence, why I offer to claim I speak here not from *mere* opinion on this topic.

Great work. I agree, we just need to adapt to the learning preference of the child or brain - unlock the potential of an amazing brain, instead of medicating and dulling it.

@SSuperCuriouss In my personal experience as a kid who's parents thought exactly the same thing you just said: after 20+ years without medication I can tell you I lost one in a life time opportunities over and over again from college scholarships to business, and just because it was so hard for me to focus, to apply my self, going trough periods of complete slaking and day dreaming...
If you have a medical condition denial won't help, if a child needs meeds don't deny them the opportunity.

@Ramiromasters - Tx for sharing. I was kept in during breaks and after school often, because of day dreaming too. I had to find ways around my learning difficulty, and got a scholarship, studied engineering, and today I am a very successful senior engineer at a big corp company. I struggle with focus, yet have hyperfocus & creativity. Sure, pills can help, but its not always the best or only way. And I have to confess, I might have dual exceptionality - both learning disabled AND mentally gifted
SSuperCuriouss 9 months ago
No. The case with AD/HD medication's effect on the brain is that of the complete reverse of "dulling it". Provided the dosing is fine tuned to the individual's response, it's purpose and result is actually to sharpen it, making it more alert and easier to focus. It is the AD/HD condition itself rather that *dulls* the brain.
ergwire2 9 months ago
People can spout all the anecdotes they want about non-medication alternative diagnoses, treatments, etc. But they do so at the peril of the children whose parent's are easily pursuaded to forgo medication where actually needed in favor of well meaning but misplaced "medication-free" wishful thinking. If the child truly is a, so called, kinesthetic learner, fine let's deal with that. But not as a replacement for properly diagnosing and treating the ADHD where it exists.
ergwire2 9 months ago
@ergwire2 That may be your opinon. My opinion is that ADHD is one of many disorders in DSM that is utterly meaningless. A kid with spunk or high intelligence, who's energy and focus is misplaced. Only in America, the land of pharmacopia, everything is solved with a pill. Never mind the "side effects" by the way. Ritalin, or methanphetamine, is mind control in a pill. It can be helpful for the short term, to assist someone with learning to concentrate. It is not THE answer.
tekdiveraz 9 months ago
I speak not from mere "opinion" but hard personal experience. I'm an adult dx'd with AD/HD-I (i.e. Inattentive w/o hyperactivity). Though officially diagnosed only a couple of years ago,this condition goes back as long as I can remember. As a kid I had atypical struggles. But as I approached adulthood I began to sense something seriously was not right, but I could not explain it. Running out of space here.. I now I realize the permanent loss to me due to no AD/HD dx & med. trtment as a kid.
ergwire2 9 months ago
@ergwire2 Same here. I was diagnosed with "ADD" by Dr Hollowell himself while I was in school there. He practically wrote the book on ADD, and wrote numerous books on it. At least for me, the meds solved nothing. I learned to deal with it myself. Prior to getting a pilot's licence I was re-evaluated by another expert, had EEG brain evaluations, the works. His opinion was that I was hyperfocusing. The problem was not that I could not pay attention, I focused on what I wanted to.
tekdiveraz 9 months ago
@tekdiveraz I'm happy to hear you say that. There are reasons why people can't pay attention. If I have a rock in my shoe (or the equivalent in my mind) of course it may be difficult to pay attention. You don't have to make it into a disease although doing so is obviously very profitable for the drug companies. Check out: Psychiatry EXPOSED! on yt. Most people will be shocked to hear what these psychiatrists have to say.
claudelebel55 9 months ago
One more comment: I'll ignore the "mind control in a pill" nonsense. But I won't ignore your admission that medication can be helpful for the short term, to assist someone with [AD/HD?] to concentrate." Here you are correct. The current AD/HD medications only work in the short term: that is, for the first few hours of the person's day (more or less). Of course they aren't a cure. A cure doesn't exist. AD/HD medication is not THE answer, of course. That's because there is no, THE answer.

There's only what we know what in most cases sustainably helps to a remarkable degree: standard AD/HD medications.
ergwire2 9 months ago
@ergwire2 I agree. From my personal experience, it is a behavioral issue. There may be predetermining factors that predispose people towards having "ADD" but they are not well understood. Putting lables on kids and giving them anphetamines are not in my opinion helpful. Working with the kid to understand that they are smart, and as so they need to work to apply all that energy in the right direction is more constructive to me. The only thing that worked for me to find focus was EFT.
tekdiveraz 9 months ago
@tekdiveraz Concerning EFT, the real magic is in the self-acceptance; loving yourself as you are. My feeling is that you could tap your big toe and it would still work. It's about disolving resistance and negative programming which is the main source of suffering for all of us.
claudelebel55 9 months ago
@claudelebel55 Eft seems to facilitate getting over all the negative programming about what is wrong with oneself and allows one to accept themselves as they are, with all of their faults and gifts. My point is that "ADD" for many is the stigma that holds them back, robs them of their own power to have their life the way they want it to be, rather than getting what they don't want.
tekdiveraz 9 months ago
@tekdiveraz I have no problems with that. All I was saying was that the tapping and where you tap is secondary. What is important is the self-acceptance. We have enough negative labels in our heads without adding ADD and ADHD to the list.

So many kids are pegged with these "disorders" because they are forced to start the learning process at such a young age. I had problems with reading comprehension because it took me until adulthood to be able to recall long sequences of facts, as well as grasp the concept of inference. I didn't have a learning disorder. I was just not fast enough for the masses.

If a kid actually does have ADHD, medication should work.
I have ADHD and have no problem learning, this is silly, and quite truly a scam.
A kid not being able to read after 2 years is not ADHD, that is a much more severe learning disability.
By the way, 'kinesthesia' by definition is the feeling of muscles moving, so I don't know what it has to do with helping ADHD.
