Some kids can concentrate & others can`t. Kids aren`t made from the same cookie cutter. Those who have trouble concentrating will have a hard time in school which will generate much bigger problem for ex. they`ll be seen as the bad kid by the teacher and students & the kid will know it. It will effect their grades which will make them feel & look dumb. They`ll have notes sent home which will cause tension in the family relationships, etc. So the kid`s esteem goes down & frustration up

Actually, some of the students in this video were on medication, but with the support of their doctors they were able to reduce/eliminate it after they'd been practicing TM for a while. So it is possible, but be sure to check with your doctor.

I agree 100% Viper1210. Schools do NOT promote imagination and individual thinking. If someone is thinking about something or daydreaming, they get labled by teachers as "not paying attention"

Society and schools push us to act and perform in humanly unnatural ways, and an ADHD child is more instinctly natural & childlike. Society trys to "MAKE" adults out of children by teaching-out and removing the normal child-like tendencies to make a bland, controlled, lifeless and conforming adult.

My son has adhd. I think it is really important to explore and try every avenu available, as an alturnative to the medication. Although I think the medication is great, those traits of adhd children that prevent them from reaching their full potential and make them feel out of the main stream or not part of the norm, these things can be improve through meditation and cognitive therapy. Its alot more hard work but worth it if they can live happier lives drug free.

in a way ADHD is not really being nonconforming to social norms but it's merely a burden in progressing understanding..i have ADHD and have been medicated since the 2nd Grade...I have an ever growing passion in science/math/philosophy but even though i live for understanding...it is alot of the times hard to push myself in doing those things and maintaining my attention and dedication...it really is a burden on my part...i've been reduced to taking my meds more at one time than prescribed

That's what we also thought, initially. But after our son went through a terrible year, and we very reluctantly admitted to try medication for a while, we see a huge difference. We hear our son singing in the morning again! Some of the comments of the doctor in this video are not valid. E.g. medication will reduce the chances of becoming a drug addict considerably.
