Sinopsis

Written by three experts in their fields - a paediatric neurologist, a psychiatrist and a martial arts instructor - ADHD & THE FOCUSED MIND provides a complete programme for instilling the ability to focus in both children and adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. For centuries, martial arts teachers have taught their young students the art of combat, from Aikido to Karate to Taekwondo. However, as varied as each form of martial arts may be, they all share an underlying skill and it is the same skill that world class athletes have in common. They all base their techniques on the ability to clearly focus on the task that is in front of them, whether it''s defeating an opponent or coming in first. In this book, the authors have created a unique coaching programme that focuses on acquiring this very skill to overcome ADHD. The book begins by explaining the common signs of ADHD. It then looks at the brain and discusses what researchers have discovered about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The remaining chapters detail the components of the programme, including its principles, its goals and the practical ways in which these goals can be achieved. The authors recognise that all children are different, so the programme has the flexibility to work within a child''s comfort level while still attaining the necessary level of discipline. The text concludes with a discussion of medication and ADHD and what''s right for your child.
