Smart Math Strategies Tricks

Thinkstock
Mathematics is often used as an indicator of intelligence. If the value is higher then the math is also high intelligence. This assumption is often made parents worry and complain if his poor math scores. Now parents do not have to worry anymore, because recent studies have found that children clever tricks in mathematics.

Recent studies say that in order to enhance the child's ability in mathematics could only with high motivation and learning strategies of good.

Kou Murayama is the lead researcher from the University of California, Los Angeles said, "The major determinants of growth achievement math skills not on how smart your child but how motivated they are and how they learn. Fact of motivation in the child encourages achievement growth in math skills long term "


Researchers claim to not be surprised if your child math is often overwhelmed by the course consists of symbols and rules that are difficult conceptualized. "The strategy to study mathematics different from other subjects, mathematics because it contains language that is totally different from the usual facing children in their daily lives," said Murayama.

The symbols and rules that exist in a difficult mathematics conceptualized by children often make children become overwhelmed and bored.

The research was carried out in Germany for 6 years with a number of subjects 3,500 students grade 5-10. Level of intelligence, level of motivation, and learning strategies to be the focus of research participants to predict the increase mathematical skills of participants from time to time.

Participants also underwent a test to determine how much learning math achievement at the end of the school year.

From there, researchers found that children's intelligence level affects only increased her math skills in the early years of the study only, while from time to time, two other things, motivation and learning strategies reported to be more important and necessary for successful child learn math.

"The learning ability of the child involving factors indicating that education can be pursued. One way to find a way so that children are motivated and teach them some skills that can help advance the learning of their abilities in math or other subjects," said Murayama.

Loneliness Can Trigger Decrease Brain Function

People who feel alone and lonely at high risk of dementia. Researchers concluded Arkin Mental Health Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, after observations of 2200 participants aged 65-86 years.

Dementia is a term used to describe the syndrome of functional decline in brainpower. In a report published by the journal Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, researchers said participants who feel lonely higher risk of dementia.

At the end of the observation, the researchers found that 13.4% of participants who have dementia are those who feel alone and lonely.

Whereas the opposite participants only 5.7% experiencing dementia. In other words, people who feel lonely at risk up to 1.64 times higher dementia.

Researchers estimate that happening because of the lack of stimulus that stimulates the brain to think.

Internet Addiction Made ​​Adolescents Experiencing Behavioral Disorders

AP/Lee Jin-man
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Science has published results of research that teenagers are addicted to the Internet will experience behavioral disorders such as anxiety, emotional disorders, problematic social relationships, and difficulty managing time.

Chinese researchers cross-sectional scans of the brain were detected teens suffer from Internet addiction disorder (IAD) and 20 normal adolescent brain sections. Researchers then compare and analyze the physiological cross section of the brain the teens.

The result, adolescents with Internet addiction disorder have a problem with the cross section of his brain. The researchers concluded that the brain is not healthy adolescents with IAD, thus affecting their behavior.

In adolescents brain with IAD found damage in the brain white matter fibers connecting the brain function of the processing of emotion, attention, decision making, and cognitive control.

Even so the results of this study can not be accepted at face value. For a small number of study participants and the results not only demonstrate significance overall.

In addition, Internet addiction is a relatively new disorder. Though larger studies using other terms have been done. But the study was not recognized and not universally accepted.

ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) Method to Introduce Self-Discipline in Autistic Children

Daily mail
Autism comes from the word auto which means alone. The term autism was first introduced by Leo Kanner in 1943, is the picture that persons with autism fun and seemed to be in his own world.

Autism is a developmental disorder marked delay in the process of cognitive development, concentration, behavior, language, motor, social and emotional. Children with autism are difficult to make eye contact with others, they are more interested in objects than people.

A child with autism is more fun with her toys rather than join playing with friends / family. Behavior of some children with autism such as babbling, echoing others, perform repetitive motor movements (such as, hand flaping), self-injury, or even hurt others, have a limited interest / monotonous and hyperactivity.

The cause of autism is not known with certainty, but several theories put forward several factors ranging from genetics (heredity), fungal and viral infections, nutritional and oxygen deficiencies, air pollution, water and food during pregnancy may inhibit the growth of the baby's brain cells which in turn allows the occurrence of autism.

Anatomically children with autism have abnormalities in brain development so that the process distracted/stunted. Anatomical abnormalities in children with autism is a medical science can not be cured, but with some of the therapies children with autism have the possibility to evolve into a better direction.

With some expected some behavioral therapy is considered an autistic child can be reduced and handled strangely, one of them with behavior therapy (behavior therapy). Behavioral therapies implemented to educate and develop the behavioral skills of children stunted and to reduce unnatural behaviors and replace it with acceptable behavior in society.

Behavioral therapy is the foundation for autistic children who have not adherent (eye contact and have not been able to sit independently). Basic program / key adherence therapy is a train that will be required to follow the child when other therapies such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy.

Method of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), is a method of behavior therapy that has a characteristic structured, directed and scalable making it easier for therapists or parents to monitor children's development. ABA methods are often called the Lovaas method because it was found by O. Ivar Lovaas, PhD, an American psychologist.

The goal of ABA is a method of changing behavior, and behavior that is targeted is always selected and considered to improve the quality of life. Behavioral norms adapted to the existing norms and prevailing in society.

ABA implementation techniques using an individualized approach / one by one, where every single child is handled by one therapist and, if necessary accompanied by prompting workers (who help the child direct the therapist-directed behavior). Teaching takes the principles of ABA and respondents Conditioning Operant conditioning, where the desired behavior or not desirable can be controlled / shaped by reward and punishment system. If the desired behavior appears the child got a gift and if the behavior that appears undesirable then the kids get punished.

The program was given during therapy compliance (eye contact and can sit while studying), receptive language, expressive language, pre-academic and self help. This program will be tailored to the circumstances / ability of children. That is why observations are needed prior to a child before undergoing therapy.

Recommended time in ABA therapy is 40 hours / week. The success of this therapy is also influenced by: 1. Degree of severity of autism, 2. Age of child when first handled, 3. The intensity of therapy, 4. Methods of therapy, 5. IQ of children, 6. Language skills, 7. Behavioral problems, 8. Participation of parents and the environment.

Autistic Children Have Brains Larger Than Normal Children

The researchers found that boys who have autism have a larger brain volumes than their counterparts of normal. However, this does not happen in girls who have autism.

In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that children with regressive autism has a brain volume of six percent greater than those without autism. This discovery adds to evidence that the condition of the brain that is affected incurable neurological development.

Autism, which affects one in every 100 people, will inhibit the ability to communicate, recognize emotions and socialize. Autism occurs in the form of a mild or severe.

During the study, University of California scans 180 brain of children aged two to four years. MRI scan of the 61 children known to have regressive autism when children aged 18-24 months. The rest, 53 people have autism detected early and 66 people do not have autism at all.

Lead researcher Christine Wu Nordahl said, "The findings show a boy with regressive autism show different forms of neuropathology of children who have autism early," he told the Daily Mail.

On the other hand, girls with autism in this study, no differences compared to normal children. Experts suspect, this could prove the existence of gender influences in autism.

The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Early Editionmendorong scientists to investigate how the brain pathology varies in different autism groups.

Music Therapy Improve Our Success and Life Quality

Everyone wanna live a successful and quality. To achieve success and quality of life, humans are not only equipped with the desire, but also many other potential existing in him, among them is equipped with a brain.

The human brain is very different from the animals. The human brain can think logically and it is this characteristic that distinguishes from animals. Humans can distinguish the good and the bad.

In human brain there are different sections, including the cerebrum. The cerebrum is the largest and most important part of the human brain is divided into several areas. Each area has the function of each. Each point in the brain have different functions.

terapimusik.com

The brain consists of billions of brain cells called neurons. Every neurons communicate with each other (a relationship) by emitting an electric wave. Electric waves released by neurons in the brain is called "brain waves" or brainwave. The frequency of brain waves that occur in certain areas of the brain indicates that mental activity is happening in these areas.

To find out what happens in the brain can use EEG (Electro Encephalo Graph). EEG can determine the condition of mental or psycho-physical problems a person.

From various researches conducted by Indonesia Music and Brain Wave Therapy Center concluded that:
1. One's life quality and success is influenced by the quality of his mind.
2. A quality of mind produced by the brain to work optimally.
3. Brain performance can be optimized with the stimulation of music and sounds of certain frequencies.
4. Mental conditions is strongly influenced by the frequency of brain waves. When the brain wave patterns changed, then the mental state is also changing.
5. The frequency of brain waves change according to the mental and physical activity a person does. For example if someone is sleeping soundly without dreams, the brain waves are delta, whereas someone who is working on a complicated math problem, the dominant brainwave is a beta.
6. The frequency of brain waves can be varied by means of brain wave stimulation, either with technology monaural beats, binaural beats, or isochoric waves.
7. The human body reacts to the music differently depending on the type of music and rhythm of the music itself.
8. The right music can help cure diseases, help psychological problems, and improve health.
9. With the stimulation of brain waves, a person can be brought into a certain mental state in which the person's condition becomes easier to make changes in his mind. In other words, the brain wave stimulation increases the reprogramming of the subconscious mind.
10. The production of hormones that are useful for health and mental health can be stimulated by brain wave stimulation and music therapy.
11. Music therapy and brain wave stimulation could prove to normalize blood pressure, improving immunity (immune system) and balance hormones.
12. Applying Music Therapy and Brain Wave Stimulation simultaneously shown to improve and accelerate the results of therapy, than if you use music therapy only or therapy of brain waves only.

Secret to Have Smart Kids (1)

At an early gestational age is a child's early brain formation. A healthy and smart child there begins. From there also, developmental problems and disorders can arise. If you want to have a smart child starts from here (early pregnancy) because the brain slab was formed when 18 days of gestation. Thus, the pregnancy really have to be prepared, says child development specialist, Dr. Ahmad Suryawan SpA (K).



From the slab form, brain growth in the fetal will continue to grow. Peak during pregnancy between four months to six months. Good nutrition and supported psychologically unstable mother who will form the baby's brain cells. The more brain cells grow, the more intelligent the child is created. For that, during pregnancy, Mom prohibited stress because it will be affect the development of brain cells formation.

After the baby is born, the brain cells must be stimulated so that more connective tissue-forming cells of the brain. Period of stimulation is very important done early. Children who lack brain stimulation had no connective tissue.

Problem of early stimulation must be considered, so that parents know their children progress. Therefore, there is a critical period. At that time, the growth of a child's brain is not growing and not growing. This critical period is a period in a child's brain growth. When you get interference, would result in children experiencing developmental abnormalities are permanent and difficult to cure.

If interference is known from an early age, can still be carried out remedial measures. However, if the detection of late, is feared to be deformed beyond. Because brain growth is only until the age of the child is six years.

Sport Training the Brain Stay Younger

andibayu13.blogspot.com
In cognitive psychology, people who do sport once a week, most likely protected from memory loss at age 60 even 80 than those friends who do not do sports.
With sport the brain will be supplied with blood, oxygen and nutrients that nourish. Stroke or high blood pressure can be reduced by doing this activity.
Choose a sport that suits your body's ability. To train your brain to stay young in turn, can choose a sport that does not require the body to high-intensity activity. Such as walking, jogging or playing bowling with your friends.

4 Steps to Refreshing Memories

Every aspect of the environment provides stimulation to the brain, both in terms of positive or negative. What we see, hear, smell, taste, and other sensations that we experience every day to be "food" for the body and soul. Unfortunately, what we face every day, ranging from the situation of the office, schools, hospitals, highways, up to the train station, offers a "meal" that is junk food for the brain. Fortunately we do not need to do complicated things to refresh the brain. The trick is to create a positive environment and beautiful. Here is a simple way we can do.

1. Harmonization of sound and light
The sound can cause deleterious effects on the body and soul, but a harmonious voice a positive impact. Do everything possible to reduce noise pollution. Record the sounds that soothe and listened the ear a few minutes each day. Meanwhile, the light has a profound effect on the body and soul. Sunlight emrupakan the
healthiest light source because it contains a long wave length that affect hormone production, metabolism, and biological clock.
2. Closer to nature
In a 2008 study, neurologist John Jonides and his team perform tests measuring memory and concentration kemampun students, before and after the walk. The first group was asked to take a walk around the garden full of trees and flowers and the rest walking around town. The researchers found those who walk in the park testing their ability to rise 20 percent, while walking in the city center there is no change.

3. Breathe the fresh air
In addition to the harmonious sound and light, fresh air is another essential element needed for healthy body and soul. We probably can not change the quality of outdoor air directly, but we can do in the house. If your neighborhood is full of pollution or dust, you may need the air filter system.

4. Have a harmonious relationship
People who have a harmonious relationship with their partner is generally more healthy, either physically or psychologically, than people who are still single or left their partners. In addition they are a good social life to suffer from Alzheimer's risk is lower.

Perceptual-cognitive expertise, practice history profiles and recall performance in soccer

We examined whether high- or low-performing soccer players, classified based on established measures of perceptual-cognitive expertise, differed in regard to their practice history profiles and ability to recall elements of match performance. In Study 1, we measured perceptual-cognitive expertise in elite (n= 48) and non-elite (n= 12) youth soccer players using empirical tests of perceptual-cognitive skill. We then used a quartile split to stratify elite players into either high-performing (n= 12) or low-performing (n= 12) groups based on their test scores. A group of non-elite soccer players (n= 12) acted as controls. In Study 2, we used an established questionnaire to examine retrospectively the participation history profiles of the three groups. The high-performing group had accumulated more hours in soccer-specific play activity over the last 6 years of engagement in the sport compared to their low-performing counterparts and the non-elite controls. No differences were reported for hours accumulated in soccer-specific practice or competition between the high- and low-performing groups. In Study 3, a novel test was developed to examine episodic memory recall in soccer. Although this test successfully differentiated elite from non-elite players, no differences were evident between high- and low-performing groups, implying that episodic memory recall may not be a crucial component of perceptual-cognitive expertise in soccer.

How Cannabis Causes 'Cognitive Chaos' In The Brain

Cannabis use is associated with disturbances in concentration and memory. New research by neuroscientists at the University of Bristol, published in the Journal of Neuroscience [Oct. 25], has found that brain activity becomes uncoordinated and inaccurate during these altered states of mind, leading to neurophysiological and behavioural impairments reminiscent of those seen in schizophrenia.

The collaborative study, led by Dr Matt Jones from the University's School of Physiology and Pharmacology, tested whether the detrimental effects of cannabis on memory and cognition could be the result of 'disorchestrated' brain networks.

Brain activity can be compared to performance of a philharmonic orchestra in which string, brass, woodwind and percussion sections are coupled together in rhythms dictated by the conductor. Similarly, specific structures in the brain tune in to one another at defined frequencies: their rhythmic activity gives rise to brain waves, and the tuning of these brain waves normally allows processing of information used to guide our behaviour.

Using state-of-the-art technology, the researchers measured electrical activity from hundreds of neurons in rats that were given a drug that mimics the psychoactive ingredient of marijuana. While the effects of the drug on individual brain regions were subtle, the drug completely disrupted co-ordinated brain waves across the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, as though two sections of the orchestra were playing out of synch.

Both these brain structures are essential for memory and decision-making and heavily implicated in the pathology of schizophrenia.

The results from the study show that as a consequence of this decoupling of hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, the rats became unable to make accurate decisions when navigating around a maze.

Dr Jones, lead author and MRC Senior Non-clinical Fellow at the University, said: "Marijuana abuse is common among sufferers of schizophrenia and recent studies have shown that the psychoactive ingredient of marijuana can induce some symptoms of schizophrenia in healthy volunteers. These findings are therefore important for our understanding of psychiatric diseases, which may arise as a consequence of 'disorchestrated brains' and could be treated by re-tuning brain activity."

Michal Kucewicz, first author on the study, added: "These results are an important step forward in our understanding of how rhythmic activity in the brain underlies thought processes in health and disease."

The research is part of a Medical Research Council (MRC)-supported collaboration between the University and the Eli Lilly & Co. Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience that aims to develop new tools and targets for treatment of brain diseases like schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.

Person Perception 25 Years After Bruce and Young (1986): An Introduction

Faces are special stimuli to humans because they convey an enormous range of socially relevant information about a person's identity, gender, age, ethnicity, mood, attractiveness, and about a person's current focus of attention or intentions. For more than two decades, a sentence similar to this one has introduced numerous scientific articles on face perception. Faces are so rich in social information that it may be easy to overlook that other visual or auditory cues (plus, of course, those from other senses) play an important role in our perception of other people as well. In fact, person perception research in 1986 was, to a very large extent, equivalent to face perception research.

The idea for this special issue emerged gradually while the two of us discussed creating an international research unit on person perception, a couple of years back. While research activities in face perception have remained strong, the past years have also seen enormous progress in understanding the perception of other ‘socially potent’ stimuli including the human voice or biological motion signals. Thus, general person perception, representing a natural extension of research on face perception, is currently seeing an immense degree of scientific activity from psychologists, biologists, neuroscientists, and computational scientists. At the same time, a great many of today's empirical and theoretical developments in person perception continue to be strongly inspired by one seminal paper, ‘Understanding face recognition’, published by Vicki Bruce and Andy Young (1986) in the British Journal of Psychology.

Diet Success with the Power of Intention

There are several things that make someone successful or not in a diet. Among these factors the most important is the implementation intention.

A study conducted by Floor Kroese, Marieke Adriaanse, Catharine Evers, and Denise DeRidder as released in the bulletin of Personality and Social Psychology October 2011 edition says that implementation intentions increase the strength of the relationship between temptations and goals.

When we're on a diet all of a sudden there is a temptation that comes, for example, there is a friend who offered us a piece of chocolate cake then we must do two things, namely:
1. Decided to stick to the goal that we're on a diet.
2. Try to make special plans to keep us on the initial goal. For example, by thinking how to get a cup of coffee or a glass of water instead.

Study: More Outdoor Time for Kids Wards off Nearsightedness

University of Cambridge researchers presented evidence drawn from their analysis of carefully selected recent eye health studies suggesting more outdoor time for children and adolescents could reduce their chances of developing nearsightedness, or myopia.

Myopia has grown more common worldwide since the 1970s, Anthony Khawaja of the University of Cambridge noted at the 115th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology -- over 80 percent are nearsighted in some Asian countries -- but Khawaja's and lead researcher Justin Sherwin's analysis of eight studies on outdoor time and myopia, representing a total of 10,400 children and adolescents participating, provided evidence that the amounts of time spent in natural light and gazing towards distant objects, could be keys to reducing nearsightedness in kids, ScienceDaily reported.
The research team found that each extra outdoor hour spent per week reduced the chances of developing myopia about two percent, and they also found that nearsighted children spent less time outdoors, almost four hours fewer on the average, than those with farsightedness or normal vision.
Simply being outdoors appeared to protect eyesight, regardless of specific activities, according to the team, whose study was not designed to identify underlying causes for this relationship.
Two of the analyzed studies also focused on the amount of time spent on "near work" -- studying or playing computer games, for examples -- and found no relationship between such tasks and nearsightedness.
Khawaja concluded,

 "Increasing children's outdoor time could be a simple and cost-effective measure with important benefits for their vision and general health. If we want to make clear recommendations, however, we'll need more precise data. Future, prospective studies will help us understand which factors, such as increased use of distance vision, reduced use of near vision, natural ultra violet light exposure or physical activity, are most important."
Khawaja has also begun researching whether increased outdoor time might stop the progression of nearsightedness, citing in his presentation a separate Chinese study of 80 nearsighted children, half assigned to less near work and more outdoor time; after two years those researchers found children in the outdoor group were less nearsighted than the 40 in the control group children who had followed no particular schedule.
In August 2008 the Sidney Myopia Study of 4,000 children found high levels of near work and low levels of outdoor activity were strongly associated with myopia, ScienceDaily reported

Brain Development of Autistic Slows Down

Autistic child's brain develops more slowly than other groups. That fact newly discovered by researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Slow development causes a child with autism have trouble communicating and socializing with friends and family. During adolescence, the brain grows more rapidly.

The researchers say that autism is usually diagnosed before the child was three years old, but in some cases can be diagnosed more slowly.

Hua Xue of UCLA said, "Because the autistic child's brain develops more slowly during this critical period of life, children may have a very difficult time struggling to establish a personal identity, develop social interaction and improve the emotional skills".

This research is very helpful to a better understanding of autism and how to overcome them. To detect the problem of autism can be used T1-weighted MRI to understand the functioning of brain growth.

In addition, through the T1-weighted MRI can also help in studying the putamen and anterior cingulated, the second part of the brain. There are a number of children suffering from autism.

This study certainly is very useful for parents and can help detect the symptoms of autism and how the appropriate treatment.

Treatments of ADHD

Although there is no known cure for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), there are several options that can help them effectively manage the symptoms of space. Treatments range from behavioral interventions of prescription drugs. Although research has found that medication alone is an effective way to treat ADHD, a large study by the National Institutes of Mental Health has found that a combined approach to drug therapy and behavior therapy in collaboration with the most useful for patients to manage well.

ADHD drugs

The survey of major national health of children adopted in 2003, some 2.5 million young people aged four to 17 years (56 percent of those diagnosed) had received medication for ADHD. Drug use is higher among children with ADHD who are 9 and 12. Medications are often an important and difficult reality for parents of children with ADHD. To find out which medications are safe and suitable for you or your child, be sure to investigate and discuss the information with your doctor and / or health care professional.

Central nervous system stimulants

Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulants are the most commonly prescribed class of drugs against ADHD. Although researchers do not know exactly how these medicines, it is believed that the balance of the central nervous system stimulant in the levels of certain neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) such as dopamine, which can be unstable in patients ADHD. CNS stimulants come in a variety of forms, including pill, capsule, liquid, and plaster, and they can also come in varieties of short-acting, long acting or extended release. Long-acting or sustained release forms are often the cause of a child taking the medication once a day before school, they saw no need to travel daily to the nurse school for a dose of the afternoon. Parents and doctors should decide together what medicine is best for the child and the child needs medication during school hours or evenings and weekends only way.

CNS stimulants are common:

* Stimulants based amphetamine (Adderall, Dexedrine, Dextrostat)

* Dextromethamphetamine (Desoxyn)

* Dextromethylphenidate (Focalin)

* Methylphenidate (Concerta, Daytrana, Date Meta, Ritalin)

Nonstimulant drugs

Stimulant medication is often not taken into account when stimulants do not work or caused unacceptable side effects. Non-stimulant medication used to treat ADHD include:

* Atomoxetine (Strattera)

Medications for blood pressure (such as guanfacine, trademark Intuniv)

* Antidepressants

* Atypical antipsychotics

Learn more about these medications for ADHD, including side effects.

The therapeutic treatment of ADHD

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy can be helpful, especially in children slightly larger, to get a child to open his feelings to cope with ADHD. ADHD can cause problems with authority figures and colleagues, psychotherapy can help your child with these relationships correctly. Psychotherapy, the child may also examine your behavior and learn how to make the right choices in advance. Family therapy can be an excellent place to understand how best to work through destructive behavior.

Behavioral therapy

Behavioral therapy (BT) attempts to teach children better control their behavior and change these behaviors appropriately. Often, the child and the child's parents and / or teacher (s) will work together to develop strategies to deal with certain situations and behaviors that result. This often involves a type of information directly to the children learn appropriate behavior, for example, a system of rewards reason might be designed to reinforce positive behaviors.

Social Skills Training

Social skills training can sometimes be useful if your child has significant problems operating in social settings. Like BT, social skills training is most appropriate to teach new behaviors, particularly those that can help a child with ADHD play and work better with others. For example, a therapist may try to teach behaviors such as taking turns, sharing toys, asking for help, or face ridicule.

Support Groups

Support groups are great for helping parents connect with others who may share similar experiences, concerns and successes with children with ADHD. Ideally, support groups meet regularly to relationships and support networks can be built. Know that we are not alone in the treatment of ADHD can be a strength of mind, great. Support groups can also be an excellent resource for expert advice and practical strategies, especially if you are a parent of a child newly diagnosed with ADHD.

Parenting

This course provides the tools and techniques for parents to understand and manage the behavior of your child. Some techniques may include:

* A system of points or other means to make a rewarding job or just

* How to use a timeout when the child becomes too unruly or out of control. For some children, out of a stressful situation or stimulants can also help you learn to respond appropriately the next time you get up.

* To find time each week to share an enjoyable activity or relaxation. Meanwhile, a parent should look for opportunities to point out that the child is doing well and praise its strengths and capabilities.

* Structuring situations in a way that allows the child to find success. For example, allowing only one or two playmates at a time, so that the child does not receive stimulation.

* The stress management techniques such as meditation, relaxation techniques and exercise

Behavioral interventions for home and school

Organization

One of the biggest concerns of parents of children with ADHD is the success of your child to school, many of them based on the organization of a skill that many children with ADHD struggle. Simple interventions such as those listed below may be helpful.

* Schedule. Set the same routine every day, from sunrise to sunset, including the duties and playtime. Post the calendar in a visible place where a change to do is make as much ahead as possible.

* Organize everyday items. Clothing, backpacks, school supplies and toys All items must be identified, clearly marked space.

* Use homework and notebook organizers. Emphasize writing tasks and bring home something to complete homework.

* Ask for a computer course. For some children with ADHD, handwriting is another obstacle on the road to success. See if your teacher allows the computer to use in teaching.

Positive reinforcement

Children with ADHD often receive, and then begin to expect criticism from authority figures. If they get a negative feedback ever heard good things about themselves, they begin to think of themselves as "poor." If the rules are followed, and the behavior is good even in seemingly insignificant, small prizes and give praise to improve a child's self-esteem and reinforce good behavior significantly.

Extracurricular Activities

Children with ADHD are often very well, like art class, music lessons or dance, or martial arts classes for the energy can be channeled into creative and productive. These activities can be a source of positive reward children with ADHD and may also contribute to mental discipline. Find out what your child is interested, but please do not force anything.

Activate Ability Brain and Metaphysics with Method Audio Listening

Brain Wave Therapy or Brain Activation with audio is a phenomenal discovery in health and technology. In Indonesia today, it is a discovery and the news is very proud because the maximum use of the brain has to be applied in our beloved country. The theory of brain activation in fact has been widely applied in many countries in Europe and Asia. In Asia alone has more people with the way their brains activated Brain Wave Therapy that have been proven to have better ability than people who are not in brain activation. 

Brain activation using audio as a therapy to reprogram the subconscious brain in humans is not something magical or supernatural smells. Brain activation has been tested scientifically. Brain Wave Therapy is much use Alpha brain waves. Alpha and Theta brain waves proved scientifically in the brain waves that appear dominant when we are in a relaxed state and the most creative. These brain waves are dominant at the time we wake up, or in a relaxed state when relaxed. 

Based on the greatest scientific discovery by American scientists, Dr.Mihaly, now has a presence in Indonesia DVD audio is programmed with specific frequencies to be harmonized with the brain and the human subconscious in order to raise the ability of the human brain is extraordinary and you've never imagined before if Your brain may be a genius. 

Binaural Beat Frequency is the frequency generated through complex mathematical calculations that can interfere and stimulate brain waves to enter a state of "trance" (theta frequency). Binaural Beat Frequency has a strong influence, even stronger than the influence of Classical music in stimulating the human brain waves into a particular frequency, such as alpha, theta and delta. 

By aligning the brain waves at certain frequencies then we will be able to or could have the power of the mind which is very useful for our daily lives in specific sound frequencies can affect one's circumstances. If someone who set his brain waves contain more frequency delta (0.1 to 4 cps), delta brain waves with rekwensi tersebuat can act as a "radar" that underlie intiusi work, empathy and actions are instinctive.

Sholat (Prayer) and the Human Brain

Rasulullah Muhammad SAW said: "Whoever is facing Allah (died), whereas he used to neglect Prayer, God does not care about bit-even his good deeds (which he has done they will be)." Tabrani History Hadith.

We pray that Brain Healthy "So establish regular Prayer because your God and sacrifice!" (QS: Al Kautsar: 2)

A proof that the limitations of the human brain can not know all the secrets of grace, favor, gift given by GOD to him.

Should we wait to get our absurd?

A Doctorate in America (Dr. Fidelma) had embraced Islam because of some miracle that the encounter in his search. He was very impressed with the invention can therefore not be accepted by reasonable minds.

He is a Doctor of Neurology. After embracing Islam he was very confident treatment of Islam and therefore it has opened a clinic called "Medicine Through the Quran" Study of Al-Quran treatment through the use of drugs that are used as found in the Qur'an. Among the fast, honey, black seed (Jadam) and so forth.

When asked how he was attracted to Islam, the Doctor is told that when the nerve studies conducted, there are few nerves in the human brain is not penetrated by blood. Though every inch of the human brain require enough blood to more normal functioning.

After making the assessment that took finally he found that blood will not enter the nerve in the brain but when someone is praying that when prostrate. Uric requires blood for a few moments only. This means that blood will enter the following levels of uric prayer time that is required by Islam. That's the greatness of God's creation.

So he who does not perform prayers then the brain can not receive enough blood to function normally. Therefore, the incidence of this man is really to embrace Islam "fully" because the nature of nature happens it has been linked by God with this beautiful religion.

In conclusion:
God who holds human beings who do not pray even if they function in a normal sense but is actually in what circumstances they will lose consideration in making decisions normally. That's no wonder this man is sometimes not hesitate to do things contrary to the nature of their common occurrence even know who will do these things is not in accordance with their will because the brain is not able to consider In more normal.

So no wonder arise various social phenomena Society today.
