Brain Gym are a series of simple and safe cognitive movements that can help overcome a variety of mental disorders, including ADHD. Children with ADHD often find it difficult to concentrate, struggle to focus and can also become uncooperative. Symptoms of ADHD can occur in children from time to time, and treating ADHD is not always so simple.
Brain Gym are a series of movement designed to stimulate mental faculties, but also help children to stay calm and focus on the task at hand. The Brain Gym exercises improve communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain by using whole body movements such as drawing, or by using motions with the arms and legs. This will then improve communication with the left and right brain hemispheres, thereby decreasing hyperactivity and improving concentration.
Brain Gym is so widely used to treat ADHD because there is zero risk in using the exercises, and they can be done at home without the supervision of trained medical professionals. Brain Gym can be practised at home with the help of parents, and the exercises can be done at any time of day, to the parent’s convenience. It is also a way of reinforcing the bond between parent and child, and is a holistic approach that allows parents to directly treat the symptoms of ADHD without medication or medical professionals.
