I've posted before about my son, but for those that don't know... here's the short version....
During birthing, my son suffered a small amount of brain-damage. While most are unable to detect any problems, the damage has affected his mental processing skills making him attention deficit. For many years he used medication (Concerta) to help him focus while doing schoolwork, etc. Side effects from the medicine (reduced appetite, insomnia, etc) were taking a toll on him physically so we opted to pull him from the medication. We also pulled him from public school and started homeschooling so he could get more one-on-one attention to help him learn better focusing skills while keeping up his schoolwork.
This year has been fantastic, he's a whole different child and we are very excited. Having said that though, he still has challenges. I'm always looking for alternative (non-chemical) way to improve his quality of life.
Today on gather.com I came across a video that was very interesting. It is about Superbrain Yoga. The article is titled Simple Exercise Improves Autism - MUST WATCH and it was shared by Joanna Ammons-F. After watching the video, I quickly realized this could be effective for my son... and anyone that just wants to increase their intelligence!!
It's free, all natural, easy to do and only takes 3 minutes! I can afford that! Then again, how could I NOT afford to take an opportunity to potentially help my child!

A physical therapist friend of mine helped us out. She encouraged him to sit and place things like tennis balls or egg cartons under his feet to mash and massage while he was doing his schoolwork. It helped him to stay attentive. Now we're dealing with what looks like OCD with him as a young adult. The 1-1 attention is a really big help! Hang in there. You can do this!
