Brain Gym exercises – an effective learning difficulties

"It is the activation and their balance of all parts of our body and spirit that allows us to become effective, productive thinkers
– Carla Hannaford – (Smart Moves – Why learning not all in your head)

Is your child struggling in school?
Are you waiting for professional evaluation for your child?
Maybe you're already a certain way in this path of acquiring a "diagnosis professional. … And after diagnosis raises the question of what programs can be put in place to effect progress.

Do you know that Something you can do with your child, yourself in the meantime that will really make a difference. Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, disorders autistic spectrum and non-specific learning difficulties, can all be helped by making two simple daily exercises for a short period time.

This article is not too concerned about the diagnosis and labeling, but more with the practical application of a effective intervention. While complex and expensive programs tend to command more interest and respect, simple solutions are often the results deepest.

Think about a time when you the credulity of a wonderful new invention and wondered why nobody had ever thought before. Brain Gym exercises are not new and are widely used in schools across the UK and worldwide. The main obstacle to their use is the idea that they are too simple to work.

These simple exercises are based on the copyrighted work of Paul E. Dennison, Ph.D., and Gail E. Dennison. Brain Gym is a registered trademark of Brain Gym ® International. Brain Gym exercises are taken from an alternative therapy called kinesiology applied.

According to Wikipedia, applied kinesiology, and many other alternative therapies, including homeopathy and acupuncture does not withstand scientific scrutiny. There is currently much controversy over the basic neuro-science of applied kinesiology. To his opponents, his success has been attributed to

Placebo effect.
(The placebo effect is to improve measurable, observable, or felt in health or behavior is not attributable to a drug or treatment was administered.
Hawthorn effect.
– A term that has been extended to say that people's behavior and alter the functioning of the result of any new or increased attention.

You know, for me, these exercises are a set of skills that most children have reached comfortably by a certain age. We received many children at school who have not reached their development "Milestones" at the appropriate age and who received no intervention in the experiment showed all.My a significant improvement for hundreds of children in: –

attention
eye-hand coordination
non-verbal skills Learning
organizational skills
written work
self-esteem.

Even if this success was due to "new or increased attention" it would be so bad. These children's self-esteem and parental anxiety is considerable. How science quantify and demonstrate the value and impact of personal interaction, I wonder?

I invite you to leave your limiting beliefs and give "re-structuring" Brain Gym exercises to try.

minimum effort – maximum gain
Research and evidence from more than 30 years, it shows impact across a range of learning difficulties.
Use only 2 exercises daily movement.
There are many exercises, but using only 2 days you will see progress.
Not need specialized equipment or expertise
Details are given on my site for Cross Explorer and Lazy Eights.
Takes a few minutes a day can easily be installed in your daily routine.
A mother and his son while he did his toast was cooking each morning.
Then do with children of all ages
Parents can do with babies and toddlers
Can be done individually or in groups
Teachers and teaching assistants can use it before the working sessions group.

I firmly believe in a minimum effort – maximum gain. Simple solutions are undervalued. What is wrong? There is nothing to lose and everything to gain. Our time together wisely that produces lasting results!
