Putting "The Brain Gym" to work for you.

Movement is essential for people of all ages and physical states.  The intentional movement available through the 26 Brain Gym Activities will enhance any learning pursuit, especially helping parents and educators to support children in their daily life endeavors.

Authors of "The Brain Gym", Paul and Gail Dennison, are pioneers in the field of mind-body integration known as Educational Kenesiology.  The activities are intended to be intentional, playful movement, that foster the flexibility, eye teaming, and hand-eye coordination that allow learners to thrive in the classroom, along with the ability to live happily and creatively amid the stresses of modern life.

Whole Child Wellness is currently working on a pilot study to document the effects of implementing "Brain Gym" activities in the classroom, in the hopes it will encourage more schools to use the techniques that incorporate movement into learning.

For more information on how to order the "Brain Gym" books, or to find out more about ways to incorporate movement to promote learning, please contact Whole Child Wellness at staff.drflemming@embarqmail.com .

Every Child is a Puzzle.

ADHD is a puzzle with hundreds of pieces.  Each child has their own unique puzzle, with some pieces being more important than others.  Whole Child Wellness looks as the entire ADHD puzzle and determines the key pieces that are causing the primary symptoms.

For most children, treating the two main pieces will bring 80% of the results, but it is crucial to treat them all. 

We are trained to find all the pieces of your child's puzzle, then tune the program to fit your child's need.

For more information on the pieces to your child's puzzle, go to naturalhelpforADHD.blogspot.com .
