Mindfulness Meditation - Why it Works

There are numerous studies on the meditation helps reduce stress and improve overall well-being. Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of the Stress Reduction Program at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, was a pioneer in recognizing that mindfulness meditation may be helpful for adult patients with chronic pain. He developed a secular version of the Buddhist practice, which he called Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Currently there are over a thousand studiespublished in peer-reviewed journals. Kabat-Zinn MBSR program is found, not only relieve chronic pain, but also high blood pressure and cholesterol, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic alleviate stress, eating disorders and drug abuse.

The executive functions of the brain is the most vulnerable people who have ADHD. The circuits are here defective synapses, which make it very expensive to participate in protracted low-level stimuli, such as cleaning andTidy up the room or a workspace, finishing homework, projects, or books, stay organized, waiting and delaying gratification, or balancing a checkbook. Most people who do not think I understand ADHD, it is quite stupid, lazy or unmotivated. Fortunately, research has shown that it is possible to reprogram to the brain circuits in people who have ADD / ADHD.

A study of mindfulness meditation to treat adults and adolescents with ADHD waspublished in the Journal of Attention Disorders (Zylowka, et al. 2008, 11, 737-746). One of the benefits of meditation is practiced to help ensure that these specific difficult tasks mentioned above are better integrated into a daily life. Mindfulness is a "defining moment to moment awareness for our present experience, without trial."

The authors of this article states: "Mindfulness meditation involves experiential learning through quiet periods of sitting meditation or slowHiking and purposeful attention to daily activities. Relaxation, though often induced during training is not the only goal of the activity, but the main activity of cognitive and intention-based process, dominated by self-regulation and attention on the present with an open and accepting orientation to their own experiences . "

Meditation helps to change attention networks, dopamine levels, Change the neuronal activity and modulate the EEG patterns. This canstrengthened by meditation with recordings that include entrainment (synchronization of two or more rhythmic cycles) and Binaural beats that the person is going to meditate from a state of alpha-beta state to help.

Meditation invites you down into the present, by slowing of thought and swept the ideas, the sums are to inconsistencies in a busy brain that the person, prohibits from relaxing. The ADHD mind is compared to a screen, which is quickly turning from one channel toanother.

Meditation does not have to be complicated, religiously oriented, boring or expensive. It is a myth about the practice of meditation, that it attached to the Eastern religion. Although it is true that the Buddhist practice involves a form of meditation, there is an intention to be at more peace with itself. Meditation can in the same way as other disciplines thought that might be a better overall physical, mental or emotional well-being. Like other forms ofExercise, stressful or not, everyone needs to find a method of discipline, so that they be shown in their improvement.

ADHD - An Overview

ADHD is not a "new" psychological problem nor is it a failure, for the purpose of personal gain or financial profit of pharmaceutical companies, mental health, or created by the media. It is a very real and behavioral disorder, affects millions of people nationwide. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), ADHD is one of the most common mental disorders in children and adolescents. According to NIMH, the estimated number ofChildren with ADHD is between 3% - 5% of the population. NIMH also estimates that 4.1 percent of adults have ADHD.

Although it has taken some time for our society to accept as a bona fide mental and / or medical disorder ADHD, but in reality it is a problem that has in modern literature for at least 200 years noted. Already in 1798, ADHD was first described in medical literature by Dr. Alexander Crichton, which he for "MentalUnrest. "A tale of an apparent ADHD youth," The Story of Fidgety Philip "was written in 1845 by Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann. In 1922, ADHD was recognized as a post-encephalitic behavior disorder. In 1937 it was discovered that stimulants help control hyperactivity in children. 1957 Methylphenidate (Ritalin), has been commercially available to treat hyperactive children.

The formal and accepted the mental health / behavioral diagnosis of ADHD is relativelyrecent. In the early 1960s, ADHD was called "Minimal Brain Dysfunction" means. In 1968, the disorder was known as "hyperkinetic reaction of childhood." At this point, the emphasis was placed more on the hyperactivity than inattention symptoms. 1980 was diagnosed with ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder, changed with or without hyperactivity, "the equal emphasis placed on hyperactivity and inattention. Until 1987, the disorder was renamed Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) and was divided into four categories (see below). Since ADHD was as a medical disorder to behavioral problems.

Currently, ADHD is the DSM-IV-TR defines (the accepted diagnostic manual) as a disorder, which is divided into four categories:

1. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Inattentive Type (formerly known as ADD) is a disorder of attention and markedConcentration.

2. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Predominantly Hyperactive, Impulsive Type (formerly known as known as ADHD) is characterized by inattention without hyperactivity.

3. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, (combined type is the most common type) includes all the symptoms: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.

4. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder not otherwise specified. This category is for the ADS-disorders, areprominent symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity, but not the DSM-IV-TR criteria for a diagnosis.

To understand better about ADHD and its four sub-categories, it helps to hyperactivity, impulsivity, illustrating, and / or inattention by examples.

Typical symptoms of hyperactive youth include:

Often "on the go" or driven as by a motor "
Feeling restless
Moving to the hands and feet, nervous or twine
Getting up frequently to walkor walk
Running or climbing excessively when it is inappropriate
Difficulty playing quietly or in a quiet leisure activities
Talking excessively or too rapidly
Often leave seat is expected to sit for a stay
Often can not calm participate in social activities

Typical symptoms of impulsivity in youth include:

Acting rashly or suddenly, without thinking to first
Blurting out answers before questions are fully
After a difficult timein anticipation of
Often interrupting conversations or activities of other
Poor decision or decisions in social situations that lead to the child is not accepted by his own peer group.

Typical symptoms of inattention in youth include:

Often forgetful in daily life
If you have problems remainorganized, plan ahead and finishing projects
Lose or misplace homework, books, toys or other objects
Does not seem to listen when spoken directly
Not following instructions and otherwise for the activities, homework, chores or duties in the workplace quit
Avoid or dislike tasks that require ongoing mental effort or concentration

Of the four sub-ADHD, hyperactive-impulsive type of distinction, to recognize, and the easiest toto diagnose. The hyperactive and impulsive symptoms in behavior in the various fields of expression, in which a child interacts, ie, at home, with friends, at school and / or during sports or extracurricular activities. Because of the hyperactive and impulsive features of this sub-category, of course, these children often attract the attention (negative) of their environment. Compared to children without ADHD, they are difficult to teach, teach, coach, and with thoseto communicate. Moreover, they tend to disrupt, seemingly contradictory, reckless, accident prone and socially underdeveloped.

Parents of ADHD youth often report frustration, anger and emotional exhaustion of their child's inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. Over time, they will receive professional services, many parents of ADHD children describe complex feelings of anger, fear, despair and guilt. Your multiple "errors" on arrivalconcentrate their children, pay attention to and action in following directions, responsibilities and tasks in a feeling of hopelessness and despair lead. These parents often report feeling guilty over their anger, loss of patience, discipline and reactive style. Both psychotherapists and psychiatrists who worked with the parents of ADHD youths, the "fun" with the words: "If someone does not help, my child, give me a drug!

The following statistics (Dr. Russell Barkley and Dr. Tim will) show the far-reaching impact of ADHD in adolescence.

ADHD is a childhood on the frequency of 6-8%, with the disease continues into adolescence for 75% of patients, with 50% of cases lasting into adulthood.
Boys are diagnosed with ADHD 3 times more often than girls.
Emotional development in children with ADHD is 30% slower than non-ADHD peers.
65% of children with > ADHD exhibit problems in defiance or problems with authorities. This can include verbal hostility and temper tantrums.
Young people with ADHD have almost four times as much traffic citations than non-ADD / ADHD drivers. They have four times as many car accidents, and seven times more likely to second to an accident.
Skipping 21% of adolescents with ADHD to school regularly, and 35% leave school before graduation.
45% of children with> ADHD have been suspended from school at least once.
30% of children with ADHD have repeated a grade.
Youth who are treated with drugs a six times less likely to develop a substance abuse disorder through adolescence.
The juvenile justice system, together 75% of children diagnosed with learning disabilities, including ADHD.

ADHD is a genetically transmitted disease. Research by the National Institute of Medical Health (NIMH funded)and the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) have clear evidence to show that ADHD runs in families. Have to show, according to a new study, over 25% of first-degree relatives of the families of ADHD children also have ADHD. Other studies have shown that 80% of adults with ADHD have at least one child with ADHD and 52% had two or more children with ADHD. The genetic context of ADHD has important implications for the treatment, because other children in aFamilies can also ADHD. There is also quite possible that the parents may have ADHD. Of course get more complicated issues, if the parents are diagnosed with ADHD have problems with their ADHD child. Therefore, it is crucial to assess a family incidence of ADHD, to the assessment of ADHD in adolescence.

Diagnose Attention Deficit Disorder Inattentive Type in youth is not an easy task. More harm than good is done when a personmisdiagnosed. A wrong diagnosis can lead to unnecessary treatment, ie, a prescription for ADHD medications and / or unnecessary psychological, behavioral and / or education services. Unnecessary treatment with ADHD medications can be emotionally and physically harmful. Conversely, if an individual run correctly diagnosed and then treated for ADHD, the potential for dramatic changes in the life limit.

A doctor (a preferablyPsychiatrist) or other approved, trained and qualified psychologist can diagnose ADHD. Only certain medical professionals can prescribe medications. These are physicians (MD or DO), nurses and physician assistants (PA) under the supervision of a physician. However, a psychiatrist, because of their training and experience in mental disorders, are best qualified to prescribe ADHD medication.

While the ADHD HyperactiveYouth diagnosed with type are easily noticed with ADHD inattentive type are prone to be false, or, worse, will not even notice. In addition, ADHD inattentive type youth are often mislabeled, misunderstood, and even for a disease over which they have blamed no control. Because ADHD inattentive type manifests itself more inward and less in behavior, these adolescents are characterized not so often the potential treatment of providers. Therefore, these young people are often not obtainedpotentially life-improving treatment, ie, psychotherapy, school counseling / coaching, educational services, and / or medical and psychiatric services. Unfortunately, many "falling through the cracks" of social services, mental health, juvenile justice and education systems.

Unrecognized and untreated adolescents with ADHD may in adults with low self-esteem concepts to develop low self-esteem, the associated emotional, educational and employment problems. According to reliable statistics, Adultswith unrecognized and / or untreated ADHD are more prone to alcohol and drug problems to develop. It is common to try adolescents and adults with ADHD to calm them, or treat yourself ", with addictive substances such as alcohol, marijuana, narcotics, sedatives, nicotine, cocaine and amphetamines illegally prescribed or street) (stimulants.

About 60% of the people, the symptoms as a child still had symptoms of ADHD as adults. Andonly 1 in 4 adults with ADHD in childhood, diagnosed and treated even less. Due to the increased public awareness and marketing of pharmaceutical companies about their medicines, more adults are now looking for help with ADHD. However, many of these adults who were not treated as children bear emotional, educational, personal, and occupational "scars." As children of these people did not feel "so smart, successful and / or sympathetic" as their non-ADHDCounterparts. Then explain to anyone why they are fighting for home, with friends and at school, she naturally turned inward to explain their deficits. Finally, they will internalize the negative messages about themselves, leaving less chance for success as adults.

Similar to adolescents, adults with ADHD have serious problems with concentration or attention, or are overactive (hyperactive) in one or more areas of life. Some of theCommon problems include:

Problems with work or career, often lose or leave their jobs
Problems can be as good as you should at work or at school
Problems with daily tasks such as housework to pay bills, and organize things
Problems with relationships, because you do not forget important things that can finish tasks, or get upset about little things
Ongoing stress and worry because you do not meet goals and tasks
Ongoing, strong feelingsFrustration, guilt, blame or

According to Adult ADHD Research:

ADHD can be 30% of people who had childhood ADHD.
ADHD does not develop in adulthood. Only those who have had the disorder since early childhood really suffer from ADHD.
Act to stop an important criterion of ADHD in adults "disinhibition" - the inability to impulsive. Hyperactivity is much less likely than a symptom of the disease in adulthood.
Adults with ADHD tend to forget appointments, and are often socially inappropriate - making rude or insulting remarks - and they are poorly organized. You can find the prioritization difficult.
Adults with ADHD find it difficult to form lasting relationships.
Adults with ADHD have problems with short-term memory.Almost all people with ADHD suffer from other psychological problems - particularly depression and substance abuse.

Although there is no consensus about the cause of the> ADHD, there is a general consensus in the medical and mental health communities, which are biological in nature. Some are general explanations for ADHD: a chemical imbalance in the brain, malnutrition, early brain injury / brain trauma, or obstacles to the normal development of the brain (the use of cigarettes and alcohol during pregnancy poses). ADHD may also dysfunctions of the caused brain or neurological disorders. Dysfunction in the areas in the frontal lobes, basalGanglia, cerebellum, and can adversely affect the regulation of behavior, inhibition, short-term memory, planning, self-monitoring, verbal regulation, motor control and emotional impact of regulation.

Since you have a successful treatment of this disease profound positive emotional, social and family outcomes, an accurate diagnosis is very important. Requirements for diagnosing ADHD are: training (graduate and post graduate), training, supervision, experience,and licensing. Even with the basic professional skills, cooperation and suggestions from current or former psychotherapist, parents, teachers created, teachers, doctors and / or psychiatrist, more reliable and accurate diagnoses. The value of cooperation should not be underestimated.

Sound ethical practice is forcing doctors, the least restrictive and least risky form of therapy offers / treatment of adolescents with ADHD. Medication or intensive psycho-therapeuticBenefits should only be granted if the client would not be favorable to react less invasive treatment approaches. It is therefore crucial to determine whether the "functional impairment is present or not. Customers who are functionally impaired, are in their environment to be successful without expert support, services and / or psycho-therapeutic or medical treatment. If impairment is established, then it is the responsibility of the treatment team working together for theeffective method of treatment.

Too often a person is misdiagnosed with ADHD is not on attention deficit problems, but because of their unique personality, learning style, too emotional to explain better-up, energy and activity, and other psychosocial factors that their problematic behaviors. A misdiagnosis could be related to other mental or emotional conditions (see next section), a life circumstance, including the unemployment of a parent, divorce, familyDysfunction or medical conditions. In a small but significant number of cases, the diagnosis of ADHD better represented by an adult an ambitious, willful and oppositional child, should not this also with these problems may have to manage ADHD.

It is important that before an ADHD diagnosis is reached (is prescribed primarily to the drug), such that a clinician consider when others can simultaneously from mental illness or medical, for the hyperactive, impulsive,and / or inattentive symptoms. Because other diseases like symptoms shares with ADHD, it is necessary that the probability of a spiritual / psychological disorders over the life of another of the opinion that possibly for symptoms a client's account. Finalized For example, generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder shares symptoms of disorganization, lack of concentration and work issues. A trained and qualified specialist in ADHD is the differential diagnoses to consider,Arrival at the most logical and clinically positive findings. Typical diseases are excluded, including: generalized anxiety, major depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Substance Abuse Disorders. Furthermore, medical explanations should also be given to: sleep disorders, nutritional deficiencies, hearing impairment, and others.

If an alternative practitioner formally a client with ADHD diagnoses, ie, a psychotherapist, it is recommended that a second opinion(or confirmation of the diagnosis search) by a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are physicians who specialize in the medical side of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are able to medicines, be the need to prescribe to treat ADHD. In collaboration, the parents, school staff, the national psychotherapists and psychiatrists, the effectiveness of the medical component of ADHD treatment.

In summary, ADHD is a mental health andDisorder, is increasingly accepted, and should therefore be treated better. To achieve a high professional assessment, diagnosis, education and treatment standards, it is important that trained and qualified practitioners, the multidimensional aspects of ADHD: history, diagnosis, statistics, understand aetiology and treatment. Training, experience, a great interest in details, a solid base of information, and a system of co-creating thePotential for positive results in the treatment of ADHD.

What Can the Hornbills Teach Us About Sharing?

We would like to tell a few stories about the release. First, we have a friend who works in a zoo, recently told us of the hornbills. They are very exotic birds, which come from tropical forests in Thailand, Malaysia, India and Africa. Hornbills are very interesting because they monogamous relationships that last for life. The main reason is that the reproductive needs of the female hornbill hornbill male to trust her for 4 ½ months during the feedIncubation for their eggs. Before mating, he offers her a gift of life (an insect or a fruit). The nest is usually made in a tree hole. In fact, sludge in it! She closes her nest, complete with mud and dung and leaves, only so much space for their partner to their food through the hole in the time it is given in the nest. Can you imagine that Mr. Hornbill bring up to 24,000 fruit for women Hornbill can throughout the period of nesting? Wow!

After 4 ½ monthsWomen Hornbill tears over the dirt around their apartment and appeared to present with their young to Mr. Hornbill. Now that's sharing! There are many other animals that depend on and share with each other to keep that part of the species alive, but the hornbills can participate in the ultimate, because they are believed to birds with the highest incidence of cooperative breeding.

The life of the hornbill is a wonderful story to tell your children because it helps them see that even in nature,Trust and sharing is such an important way of life. In addition to the absolute basic necessities of life such as food, warmth and sleep, there is nothing more important than our interaction with other people. When we get to share it all, and truly understand, the sharing process, maybe we can get some of the terrible things that could go to avoid in the world.

We all know about the release. We know that we made when others share. We know that sharing makes us feel good. We know how specialwe feel when our spouse or partner share in the upbringing of children. So why in the world do not we share more than we are?

It can be easy to share things that we care about or have not used a lot already, but what if someone needs to share something really really want, and you do it? What about sharing personal stories and secrets that could embarrass us? Some parents believe that they and their children stories that are embarrassing, they should contactOthers tell their children everything. We ask that) the disclosure of TMI (too much information. We think it's an important balance to be dealt with when it comes to sharing thoughts and ideas must. If your child can really learn something from what you want to share, and it is not your child in bed at night, lying awake on the secrets of the past with his family, it's probably a good idea to worry him in the lurch or in some questions of the family. It is also constructive, let yourChild know that you have overcome some of the weaknesses, or that have accepted you, or have to be done.

A large part of sharing is trust. We need to trust that the other person is unreasonable and not judge us. We tend to share more when we feel safe. (Hence the history of the hornbills.) We share something of value if we believe that the person that we share, with respect and appreciation of the position as we are. We want a good feeling when we share. It's never fun to give somethingsomeone and then they only see you throw them aside as if it were easily available. But with children, we never know until we teach them what we value value.

Have you ever thought that your children something special, which was given you? They estimated it, and you want them to appreciate it. After initially receiving the item, they seem to appreciate the way you want, but that it later when you ask, can it be that they have lost them, or even lost. Thiscan not be, because they do not value it, it can be due to the fact that they are too young to know how to protect them or they are forgetful and organizationally challenged, and later may end the feeling of shame for their behavior.

When we share with our children stories, can not yet exclude the same problem. We share something, hear something very important to us, and we share them with someone in a way that the light which makes it more or minimized the importance for us. You may not have heardwhat we have said clearly and tell it to someone else without the facts straight. It is a fine line on the sharing in a manner in which one is valued shares, as you want it to appreciate it.

The age of a child is important, if these decisions. Children may not be developmentally ready to share and continue to be self-centered to a certain age. For example, an infant mental approach is everything, "Mine!" Preschool children begin to understand intellectually about sharing, but itis usually not until the age of 7 years that a child really learns to share. This was investigated by Ernst Fehr at the University of Zurich, as his studies showed that the age of 7-8 of equality and altruism has become important to children and they are more willing to share. He confirmed that the capacity for shared use matures along with her body.

No matter what time it is important to share, to teach the common usage. If the parents do not share their feelings with their correspondingChildren, either to burden them with too many of their feelings or by the majority of things to benefit themselves (and thus the balance we) have already mentioned, it is not their children about the positive role modeling. Children may also be afraid to share with their parents because their parents have reacted in a negative way, and now they are careful to share with them in the future. You can respond like their parents, when her new feelings and experiences anxietyAdolescents. It is true that young people begin to development, the separation at this age, and they do not want to share their private feelings with their parents. But it is also very important to open the path to where they and their parents, want to check what they do. You can fear, and the parents must make it clear that they have heard and what to tell their children respectfully, even if they disagree.

We can help our children understand thatabout sharing in the big picture by reading children's books where animals and children share. This way children are more ready to read the stories of other cultures where they can see a process of give and take with other people and other animals in the world. The lessons that both other cultures and birds/animals can teach us are invaluable. Helping others can be its own reward, and in fact this is confirmed by many biologists and scientists. Selfless acts give us a warm glow inside and this is confirmed by personal experience as well as neurological studies that show that the sharing and altruism may Activity in parts of the brain that are involved in feelings of reward.

Let your children know that even monkeys, when shares can be chuffed with their friends. At the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Frans de Waal's team of scientists has examined the selfless side of the brown capuchin monkeys. De Waal put the Capuchins by three blocks of ten trials, and evenin the first sentence, they were not) rather than the token select (sweets that the other monkeys benefited. Each monkey was a choice between two different colored marks. Both would earn a lucrative slice of apple, but only one make a play for a second monkey is sitting in an adjacent room would be transparent net.

By the end of the experiment, they were the choice of "prosocial" tokens around two thirds of the time. The study shows that people like thisTo show monkeys usually its strongest level of empathy towards their closest friends and family. They were most likely the prosocial token when picking the other monkey a blood relative. They were also willing to help, independent members of the same group, but not when it came to independent foreign.

Here are some tips to help your children develop to share the gift of:

1. Help them a book with pictures and thoughts to them personally, but they could createlike to share with others. You can book other show in the family, and they allow members of the family ask if they want something, share the book with others, add it to the show.

2. Sharing memories is an effective way to discuss what it is to talk stocks. Keep home a book with blank pages on one or has the kitchen table. If something happens, something funny or tragic, they can write about what happened. When they later have written what they read,they can have their feelings about each event.

3. Keep a journal of the most important things that your kids do or say when they are young. You will be happy to hear about the behavior of their childhood when they grow older. Not only children are tempered by hearing what they have said and done, but they are unconsciously recognized by the fact that you took as a parent to write the time that these important moments so they are used at a later date.

4. Show ChildrenPictures of shares, as the animals in the wild. This is especially good for children with autism, who often respond better to visual images then spoken on the floor.

5. Have family meetings on the agenda when it is time for each family member can do something of significance that for them during the week, shares happened.

6. Have your own personal family Ex-Factor, where every child at the center (no judge can go). A child can recite a poem that can sing another, whilePlaying guitar can be, another magic trick, or a boy to show their new arithmetic shares solving skills.

7. Make up a family rule that when children are fighting over a toy or possession of the family, the toy is made, a way to divide up the couple to prove they can, and that is how they can earn it back. (Make sure it's age).

Finally, if you have trouble with a child or an alienated youth, and you feel lost, like new link, you will find the place in your own being, where you really get to promote with the greatest love, the wounded relationship. This might mean to say very little for the time and bring a small gift that you know that theylike, or invite them to something they enjoy to do. You can think about one of their interests, or anything positive you noticed, or they do not know in a way judgmental. If they do not react the first time, do not give up, how you want to improve relations. Eventually, you'll be able to replace it in the arena, where they remember how they love you. "Love has to find a way when you need it most." If you can have the warm and strong feelings on both sidesthe relationship, it is so easy to break those barriers and share what makes sense to share it. It is a feeling of light around you.

Anam Cara by John O'Donohue is a book that addresses Celtic wisdom. It is a book that is both poetic, spiritual and philosophical. If O'Donohue talks about friendship, he talks about the "candle-light world of the soul." He says: "Maybe the light of the soul is like the light that Rembrandt tawny, golden light on Rembrandt's work is known.This light gives it a real sense of depth and substance of the numbers on which they seem gentle.

Respect is the Key to Your Child's Success

The parents are the most important role model in the lives of their children, and it is important that they respect the example set by themselves, their children and for everyone else. Children are like a mirror, because it gives us back much of what we say, to reflect and do. 95% of children have learned from everything that is through, what they have learned model, with only 5% through direct instruction. What do we communicate what we teach our language is the language that theyspeak.

Respect can permeate into all areas, including: respect for ourselves, respect for our loved ones, respect for our neighbors, our employees and all those who think differently than we do. This is obviously not easy to make. How can we treat the idea with mindfulness so that we do not allow stray from the importance of others, their feelings about things in the same way that we want to be respected for our personal ideas?

According to the dictionary Respectmeans "willingness to respectful consideration, appreciation and keep showing great appreciation for a different opinion, wishes and opinion." How do you think highly of someone if you do not rely on their values and the way they live their lives.

If you treat a person with respect, recognize and preserve their human dignity. Are you maintaining the values that you hold as most important? Be patient with yourself when you make mistakes? Are you ready to admit you made a mistakeIf you are impatient and say things to disturb the others? Can you open your child that your goal and the goal that you set for him / her is the best person you can be at any time. Although most of us to deal with the problems that can arise in our daily lives, there is always a day when things feel out of control. The best thing you can do is take a little time to reassess. Do you remember what you have to be thankful for. Remind your children what they need toRemember to thank, too.

One of the most important ways to treat themselves and others respectfully is take the time to answer difficult questions. When your children ask you about terrible things in the news, or why the people in a way, the answer to what you teach them will behave normally happen, as you can in a respectful manner? No matter how strong you are about something, it is important to respond with an open mind. One could answer the question with somelike, "I wonder what this person might have been the spirit that he so little." In other words, they leave open the possibility for the discussion to consider how people make their decisions. This way you are respecting yourself and think of the way, but you also let your children that there is always more than one way of looking at something.

Another problem with children is when they ask you if they can do something that you know, they do not want to do. Take adeep breath and tell your child, "Let me join?" I am a little tired and rushed at the moment and I want to think about if there is a way we can work for you. " Even if in your heart know that you are going to reject the request, maybe there is a way of solving problems on alternative ways to produce a healthy way to think of their applications together. Perhaps your child will think of more time to enjoy, on the request, and he / she will see that there may be a littleunreasonable. The fact that some time for reflection and consideration you show your child that you will be respected about his thoughts and feelings.

At this point in history, it seems that one of the hardest things to respect people of other ethnicities and religions. How do you teach your children to respect others, as they not? Sometimes, when we see historical films, we can see that have been throughout history, people always cruel to each other, irreverent eachothers because of their race or religion or class.

A poem about the respect of us comes from Rene Philombe, a political and cultural activist from Cameroon, who died in 2001. The poem is originally in French and in his book L'homme qui te resemble that of the man who is as you say. In this poem he called all his brethren, and calls not asked his nationality or his skin color, because he is human like everybody else. He does not ask to ask his physical characteristics, or especially the "name,his gods. "Students who learn this poem in French, even for a moment seized by this line. What does he mean do not ask me the name of my gods. We all have different views, but we all having the same needs things. We are similar because we all want it to be warm and well fed and loved. What we are outside of our physical being, everything is felt in an effort to make the world believe. To think that whatever comfort They allow, and all else that comforts them to believe. This is not aeasy task for the young, the educated belief in a religion. It does not mean you should see the way you or ask you to change your children what they have learned to change, but it will ask you to respect others and know that they have learned different things.

The best way to teach in relation to our children is to show respect. When our children experience respect, they know how it feels, and begin to understand how it can change lives. Respect is a way of living.His respect helps a child to be more successful in school and paving the way for more success in adult life at work and in marriage.

To summarize and remind you about ways to be respectful to your child. Consider these 7 tips:

1. Take time to listen to your child. Listen carefully and thoughtfully. Think carefully about what your child wants and needs before you answer.

2. Remember that you win for your child by the will to be honest. Always the answer to yourChild as honestly as you can. If this means that you can wait before taking answer, do your time.

3. Be willing to apologize when you talk about hard or too fast because you are busy or tired. It is important for your child that you as someone who is genuinely interested in respect.

4. Marvel According to the ideas and concepts that you value, so that your child will not be surprised if he / she ceases to support your decisions with this information.

5. Love your child, by respectfullyhonestly and fairly.

6. Hold them responsible for their behavior.

7. You can not possibly be able to control or take your child (especially if a young person) in respect of their attitude, but no compromise in anticipation of that respect back to you, to show it by their behavior.

Although this very old poem, we recommend that you take the time to read "IF" by Rudyard Kipling with your child. It is written in simple language and most children can relate the ideas.Also, make the rhythm of it and the rhyming lines is easy to remember. If children are often hurt by their friends or feel bad when they lose something. This is a good poem to help them remember how to stay on course. The qualities that are written in this poem: patience is humility, honesty and prudence, qualities that are important to children.You can teach our own, this poem by a young adults in the Reading and Listening: http://www.youtube . com / watch? v = FOy8rneWlrs

Therapy And ADHD

The best method for the treatment of ADHD is twofold. The most useful treatment drugs, but we understand that it is not the whole answer. Because stimulants have their limitations, has become the therapy be used in conjunction with medication.

You may wonder why especially of psychotherapy have been used. Finally, ADHD has as many educational and social consequences, how it works psychological. It would not make much sense as social skills training or haveTutorial will be used as a complement to medicines.

The real reason that psychotherapy is to be the next step of medicine, that for most of its recent history, ADHD was considered a psychological problem. Psychologists were the ones who is the effort in the research and treatment of ADHD. It is not surprising that what they were with the treatment plans for psychology. What could you expect? Psychology is what they know.

Thus, for better oris worse, it turns out that medicine and psychology go hand in hand and are now the focus of the multi-modal treatment of ADHD.

There are many psychotherapeutic approaches to the treatment of ADHD. How good to know children with psychotherapy?

Your child success depends in part on the psychological approach that you use. Certain techniques work very well and can even reduce or eliminate the need for medication. Others are a big waste of time andMoney.

There are even some cases were psychological intervention can be dangerous to your child and your family. I say this from experience. I've seen it. What to psychotherapy, like everything else, you need to know exactly what to do if you want to help your child.

Goals of Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy deals with six basic problems faced by children with ADHD and their families.

These are:

• stress and anxiety arising fromStruggles to meet demand for life

• Low self-esteem

• A feeling of incompetence

• lack of grief over benefits

• Feelings of helplessness

• Poor social skills

None of these problems are part of the core symptoms of ADHD. Instead, they result from the psychological trauma that occurs as a result of ADHD.

Psychotherapy rather help in the development of better coping skills, just the focusImpact of problem situations. It does not eliminate ADHD symptoms.

However, the appropriate therapy can help a child develop organizational skills, time management skills and communication skills, which matures to become essential to master as a child.

There are many different therapeutic approaches, but not all have the same success. You really know what you do before your child commit to therapy.

I will briefly comment on some of the discussionCurrent treatment approaches, so that you can understand what they are.

Behavioral

The goal of behavior therapy is to change the behavior of your child. This is done through some changes in the environment of your child taken to promote desirable behavior and prevent undesirable behavior.

Your child will receive a set of goals. He's been positive for the execution of desired behaviors and consequences that they cause the desired behavior rewarded. Thisis often done in the home and school, and requires more structure, more attention, and the limits of distractions. The result is that the behavior therapy the child's behavior over time forms.

Behavioral therapy is one of the most frequently used forms of therapy with ADD children. As with other therapies, it is expensive, but if it is targeted, behavioral therapy can be quite useful.

I designed a course for parents to help their constructive disciplineChildren and promote a better, more loving relationship. When discipline is an issue for you, this is a very effective and cheap option. The entire 20-week program, along with complete online support costs less than a behavioral therapy session.

Social Skills Training

ADHD is best described as a condition that seriously affects the ability of the child's well known that in the school environment to be successful. That's because that's where the problems begin to notice and that theirBehavior causes the most problems.

However, a more significant problem is that these children do not develop any normal social interaction skills. As a result, her peers do not develop normal relations. This aspect of ADHD, the child will cripple decades after he left school, and it is set up for lifelong learning difficulties and misfortunes.

Social skills training programs are designed to help your child with this problem. How effective are these programs? Thisdepends on a number of factors. Again, you need to know what you will do to a wise choice.

Parent counseling and parent training

Parent counseling and parent training are offered to two of the most frequently recommended psychological interventions for parents of ADHD children. These are offered typically in the form of cognitive behavioral training, either in an individual, family or group family setting.

The idea is that most of the child's life is spentnot under the influence of drugs. Moreover medicating the child does nothing to improve the education of parents. For this reason, parental counseling and parents are better educated empower parents used to deal with the time, if possible, the child and his ADHD behavior in full bloom.

Conclusion

The traditional conservative approach to the treatment of ADHD usually includes medication with some form of psychotherapy. Psychotherapy can be helpful in the treatment ofsome of the psychological problems that accompany ADHD. As your child gets older, these problems could be more significant than the actual core ADHD symptoms. However, psychotherapy does not make your child more attentive or less impulsive.

Psychotherapy is very tricky. There are numerous types of therapy used now. Some work, some do not. All these techniques are expensive.

Psychotherapy can be a monetary sinkhole. If you choose a modality that does not work well, it can be more expensive for year, only moderately effective treatment. On the other hand, if you choose correctly, you will see significant improvement in your child in a relatively short period of time. You may be able to reduce or eliminate the amount of medication your child takes.

I feel the need to repeat a word of caution. We generally think of drugs as dangerous, because they side effects or toxic properties, which can harm you if they are not usedright. We are not used to think about psychological counseling in the same way. Nothing could be further from the truth.

If the treatment is done properly, can change the life of your child. In conjunction with medication it can be a very powerful and effective combination. But if you can, the wrong treatment or the wrong therapist, the consequences could be very serious. It may only a matter of not wasting your money. The wrong therapist can inflict serious harm to your child. Ihave seen happen to others. Make sure not to happen.

Accordingly, psychotherapy is definitely a part of the treatment of ADHD. You should plan is part of the treatment of your child. Be careful if you opt for a program. Thus, the therapy can be helpful, it can be that destructive.

ADHD Treatment with the Amino Acid Acetyl-L-Carnitine - a Recent Study

We have long considered that the symptoms of ADHD could be reduced, and perhaps fully treated, by the use of amino acids and the help of specific ADD diets. Now a study from Italy has more support for our position, that are not prescription drugs, particularly stimulants, the only effective ADHD treatments.

The Italian study was the effectiveness of only one amino acid in a given population of ADHD children whoknown as poor responders to stimulant treatment - children with Fragile X syndrome and ADHD symptoms. Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited form of mental disability, and many children on the condition also have ADHD, or at least the symptoms of ADHD inventory.

Over the years, stimulants like Ritalin used to treat ADHD symptoms in these children, but with mixed or poor response time. Stimulants often caused the childrento be irritable, less verbal, and be taken back more often. The researchers examined the possibility that could be the amino acid L-acetyl carnitine (LAC) in reducing ADHD symptoms helpful, but without the side effects.

Acetyl-L-carnitine or acetyl-L-carnitine, was investigated in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer's disease, and the treated group showed some improvement in short-term memory tasks, such as the names of Learning test and the digit recall test. Also inComputerized testing, such as the TOVA, there have been improvements in the response scores. The results showed that L-acetyl-carnitine may have a positive effect on some characteristics of Alzheimer's dementia, especially those related to short-term memory into context. Acetyl-L-carnitine is also investigated in Huntington's disease, with positive effects on movement disorders and dementia.

Acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine is an amino acid that is normally synthesized in the liver from lysine andMethionine. It is the precursor of acetylcholine and is consistent with lipoic acid in its many functions.

Carnitine is an important role in the transfer of fatty acids through the membrane of the energy furnaces of the mitochondria of cells. Without Carnitine fats can not be burned. Carnitine is the most useful unit known, and indeed important in the mobilization of fat deposits, helps the body in the natural elimination of toxic ketone bodies from fat leftMetabolism.

The research team from the Università Cattolica in Rome studied 51 boys aged 6 to 12, with both fragile X syndrome and ADHD diagnosed. It was a double blind study, so that the boys were in two groups that received the amino acid treatment and divided the other a placebo. They study lasted for one year has to be evaluated with the guys at the beginning (baseline), after six months, and after one year.

The boys treated with acetyl-L-carnitine showed a significantImprovements. They were less hyperactive and had improved attention and concentration, and without the side effects that are expected in this population of treatment with stimulants. In fact, there were no adverse side effects caused by the amino group ever reported. The boys also had intelligence, but there were no significant gains in IQ tests done.

"We propose to Latin America and the Caribbean is recommended for the treatment of ADHD in FXS children," the authors ", since iteffectively reduces hyperactive behavior and improves social abilities without adverse side effects have. "They also suggest that these results for children with autism can not easily tolerate stimulants.

We have personally observed studies and the positive results from treatment with a combination of amino acids, lipid complexes, and homeopathic medicines Attend with ADD children. And we recommend that parents and doctors more accurately set apartalternative treatment.

Living and the Loss of Stigma

The science of pharmacology has succeeded in bringing to the fore many of the mental health issues that plague Americans today. Due to the nature of advertising, manufacturers have the fastest method of de-stigmatization made available. Taboo topics that were once taboo is now openly discussed and the consumer a reason to hope. Such a condition is checked as Bipolar Disorder, a very difficult disease. The name was changed from bipolar disorder manic depression, to dispel the stigmathe disorder, because the "with which it was" like the plague. Thieves, murders, rapists ... they were held to a lesser requirements than the manic-depressive.

Although self-serving and develop for the purposes of the stock holders and finance, pharmaceutical and drug companies continue to sell consumers find very important in life. If we have to justify the onslaught of advertising information on a particular disease such as mental illness it would come in the form ofRelief, there are those who expect a lack of hope and rely on medication to exist only, or with every new pill ... there is a cure. Through pharmacology, a once-closed door can be opened, Symptoms eradicated a lifelong illness, answered prayers and longevity are retrieved. It is exhausting trial and error, can make up drugs, but the end justifies the means.

Scientific researchers need not be denied their place of importance. When they study the body, they bring knowledge to the tablethat one day can change lives and change the direction of a disease of people divided. We are fortunate to live in this age of discovery. We have the benefit of investigators who are curious by nature philanthropists. They are not on the symptoms, they will dramatically change the future generations an understanding of our genomics. Scientists today are more sophisticated, they are not of the "lobotomy" generation. But they will dissect the brain, if you donate itScience.

Drugs, research and psychotherapy at the fifty yard line found. If stigma exists, it is often families, as they perpetuate the stigma by denying the illness, or embarrassed, as if it were their own. Consumer perpetuate the stigma of the internalization of the disease as if it were their fault. It is neither. The goal is to work together as a unit. Stigma pushes the ill lose back, eyes to the goal. Support groups are a great way to shed off theAncient beliefs and the new. Whether in person or in the wonderful world wide web, support is available.

Thus, the role of pharmacology in the psychological well-being is important, but there are paying a heavy price. People with mental illness have captured an audience and statistics prove it so. In essence, I suppose you do not have to search for information on their medical miracles, the ads come to you eventually, even if it ... in-between your TV shows.

How to Set Up a Behavioral Management Plan For Your ADHD Child

Children were diagnosed with ADHD are at a much higher risk of developing non-compliant or negative behaviors attention as a child, that does not mean more than ADHD. The particular characteristics of ADHD that the child will have difficulties with self-control that be listening, instructions at home and school, and following directions. Some children seem to be predisposed to the behavior problems that develop through their temperament, but the symptoms of ADHD(Hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention) seem to only reinforce to these negative behaviors. The management of these negative behaviors often lead to full-time job for parents.

Treatment of ADHD children usually require a multi-faceted and multi-modal approach to say that the approach is comprehensive in nature. This approach includes supporting the school, medication, if necessary, parent-child education, what is ADHD and its treatment, and finallyBehavior-management techniques. Managing negative behaviors a child with ADHD often seem like an overwhelming and difficult task, but the management of these practices through the creation of a good behavior management plan is not insurmountable and can be quite useful if done right there.

Behavior Modification, is a system of rewarding positive behavior with the aim of increasing the frequency of their occurrence and on the other hand, decreases the incidence of negativePractices with the goal of decreasing their incidence. Most children with ADHD benefit from a behavior plan is clear and concise with measurable objectives.

How to set up a behavior management plan:

1.) Choose a negative behavior that you want to change and a positive behavior that you or wants to start see. I suggest you decide for a behavior that your child will be able to change and may begin to start doing it. It is not very motivating for aChildren not in their first attempts. Your child will want to give up immediately. (to be in the selection of behaviors you began to see or change how often you want to see it happen, specific, and how often they will be rewarded.)

Are examples of behaviors you began to see: your child makes the bed every day, unloading the dishwasher, does the dinner on time, or an A in math. Choose a behavior that can be easily achieved at first.

Examples of behaviors you do not want moreare: refusing to get out of bed in the morning, interrupting when others speak, refuses to return calls or complete homework. As parents, you know the behaviors you started and stopped in to see your child.

2.) Second, setting up a home token economy, to implement your behavior management plan. Let's start with the definition of what is a sign the economy. A token economy is simply a contract between the child and the parents stating that if a child acts or behaves in a way theParents are committed to the sign for a special reward or privilege of trading.

In setting up a token economy, focus on only a few goals at a time. Their behavior plan can be as short or as long as you want, but I've found, the more complicated the behavior plan with the goal behavior less likely that the plan will succeed. Start small and keep it simple. Pick behaviors that you like to see changed, that are most affected you and your child and also goals that youhow to start for your child. Allow your child in setting up the behavior plan be included, but do not let them manipulate you. Make sure to note the behavior you began to see and stopped. When a child is a part of the plan and is able to pluck the fruits and the consequences they work harder in general to achieve it.

Assign start seeing a token value for each behavior you want, and stopped. Be careful not to try and change too many behaviors at once. Select oneValue of 1 to 25 characters. To work for the plan to the value of the token must be high enough to really want your child the particular behavior change. (We are all incentives for work!) Behavior that you see are really changed those who have a greater symbolic value and also those that are difficult to change.

Sample Behavior Graph:

Behavioral token value to start Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
Make the bed5
Unloading the dishwasher 10
Out of bed from 7.30 Clock 20

Earned a total of 35 tokens

To stop behavior token value Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
Interrupts other 10
If it refuses, homework make up 15
Poor grades in school every day 15

A total of 40 tokens Lost

Set up a convenient time, every day in your child's performance review for that day and determine how manyMarks were earned or lost. The behavior is planned to be implemented every day and a running tab should be on the set of tokens they have held and how many are "rewarded" privileges to redeem /. For the behavior you do not want to lose that amount of tokens or a fine and behaviors that you see, to begin, he or she continues to want that amount of tokens. To be effective, must be a fine to be strong enough to prevent the child from the display the behavior.

Aftera token program, now you need the program to explain to your child in language they can understand. Be positive and tell them we have a program where he / she can earn rewards and / or privileges for behavior in a positive way, developed. You will probably balk at this first, after all, what they were given rewards that they deserve all the time not really.

Proceed given to your child about the height of the characters are lost or for positive and negative behaviors that areCounting every day. Explain to them that is the token "to" privileges to redeem and explain the "cost" of individual rights and when and where the opportunities / privileges can be used. Give you frequent opportunities to exchange, to the signs of rewards or privileges. Assign a number for each wage or privilege to use them.

Awards or benefits, I have found, to be effective with children, if I have set up a behavior modification plan with them and their parents are: Do you see a movie,going for ice to go to McDonald's to get a new outfit from the store when friends come over, go out with friends, seeing more time to watch television, or more time with video games. Example of symbolic value for rewards as follows: sleeping on a friend's house = 35 characters, will = 10 McDonald's tokens, see a movie = 25 characters, etc. .. Keep the cost of the premiums low, so that they can use a reward every day. Keep the amount of tokens they have in use and haveleft.

Be sure to reinforce positive behavior as often as possible and give your child praise for their efforts. Positive behavior should be immediately strengthened. Do not give Second or third chance. If they have a negative attitude then they should lose tokens. If you give weaken, second or third chance, you made the behavior and self-sabotage.

How do we keep the program going:

• Make sure the child is able to see their progress, go about theirBehavior plan with them so they can see progress towards its goals
• Change the behavior plan (if necessary) when you see that the behavior plan is not working and your child is not one of the goals. Discuss the plan with them
• Clarify the whole family. Answer all questions. If everyone is made in the family about what is ADHD and they understand the aims, everyone is more likely to cooperate. Everyone must be on board. ADHD is an issue forthe whole family
• Have a backup plan if the behavior plan is not working. If goals are not met then "repair" the plan
• Expect to reach your goals. A positive attitude goes a long way to achieving success. If you expect then of course you do not!
• If you find that you'll take on "the towel" and give the behavior plan then it is time to receive support from outside of the mental health, family, friends, teachers. Getall on board. Nobody expects that you do not win it alone, and outside support to help you stay on track and following the objectives
• approach the problem from a team perspective. Brainstorm, Brainstorm, Brainstorm. Everyone in the family should be in compliance with this would be included. The old expression, "Two heads are better than one" here refers to any event
• Target the most pressing problem areas. Do not try to fix too many things. They are doingso
• Above all, stay consistent and not scream. Get help from as many people as you do not and try to do to do this alone

To prevent relapse:

• There is no safe way to backslide then get to the start of long arguments and discussions with your child about the behavior plan. Of course they are going to want to get rid of or change the behavior plan. Everything that is new or different in general resistance
• Accept that your child has ADHD. It is End of the world. If you stay positive and calm, your child will be much easier to change their behavior. Keep your perspective here
• Take advantage of the support of all you can. Join a support group in your community or a forum for parents on-line. There is nothing worse than feeling like you're alone in this
• Keep your goals in sight. Remember, tomorrow is another day and the sun will still shine. Nothing lasts forever
• Learn more about> ADHD and read whenever you can. Ignorance is not bliss
• Hope is a wonderful thing to keep us on our toes and practice forgiveness of your child every day
• Double your efforts when you feel abandoned
• Enter your behavior management plan time to work. Remember that change can have long-term effects will take time. Nothing happens over night
