Why has ADHD and ADD become a major classroom issue in the last 25 years or so? Never before have so many millions of children been diagnosed & reflexively placed on Ritalin, an addictive amphetamine drug. Why? Are  there reasons, childhood vaccine reagents or some other unknown causes that explain the recent explosion in diagnosis, or, are doctors simply growing the conditions underwhich they apply the diagnosis.  In either case, from you & your child's perspective, if your child can't control their impulses, they can't effectively learn or functionally pay attention. The video below reveals why multi-sensory handwriting is a safe, powerful alternative to medicating children with drugs such as Ritalin.

An amazingy simple but very powerful method, multi-sensory handwriting, can physically retrain the brain so ADD ADHD children can gain impulse control. Best of all, it avoids the need for drugs like Ritalin, Adderal or Concerta which have potential serious side effects.

Teachers also rave in seeing the wave of calm sweep across the classroom as the kids focus so intently. They also report that ADHD children love to do the exercises--even beg to do them because they can feel the calming influence of the music!  Read the testimonials!

1. Until a child gains impulse control which dampens the emotional brain, the left brain can't pay attention.  

2.   The regulated stimulation literally changes the brain by developing impulse control and the attention span without use of Ritalin or other ADHD drugs.

3.  Parents of ADHD ADD children avoid the chance that their child will suffer from Ritalin's side effects.

4.  Just a few minutes of daily practice provides a powerful Ritalin-alternative that retrains the brain by dampening the emotional brain's emotionally driven behaviors, i.e., impulse control! 

5.  Adding therapeutic music to the handwriting process creates the magic in the process! It's a win/win situation for students, parents, teachers and society too.

Why can such a remarkably simple but  powerful system work without Ritalin?

Massive research has found that the brain is the only organ in the body that sculpts itself from environmental experience--the regulated stimulation inherent in handwriting's movement is key! 

In "A User's Guide to the Brain, John Ratey, M.D., claims, "Mounting evidence shows that movement is crucial to every other brain function, including memory, emotion, language and learning. Our "higher" brain functions have evolved from movement and still depend on it." ADD and ADHD's impulsive behaviors are emotionally driven. 

Because it involves the hand, nothing else done in the classroom can begin to compare with the massive regulated stimulation created by handwriting's rhythmic, repetitive manipulation of the thumb and fingers in its impact on the young brain over time. 

Amazingly moldable, young brains require regulated stimulation, i.e., neural activity. The activity integrates the thinking brain with the lower emotionally influenced areas. The stimulation over time is an essential key in creating the mind--"the mind is what the brain does!  The process enables the left and right brain to "shake hands" and cooperate rather than letting the right brain's emotionally influenced behaviors dominate. 

Research reveals that poor handwriting handicaps the child. It interferes with learning! Handwriting's regulated stimulation can remedy that by developing impulse control. 

Multi-sensory handwriting's powerful regulated stimulation achieves what Ritalin can't begin to do! The movement primes the brain for the learning process while  strengthening it for the long term. As it avoids the need for Ritalin-type drug, it's a natural remedy for ADD and ADHD children!  

Multi-sensory Handwriting Fortifies The Child's ADHD's Brain!

R. Feuerstein, M.D., has a vital solution to resolving learning issues! He claims,"You can either dilute the learning or fortify the learner!"

Multi-sensory handwriting fortifies the brain as nothing else can! Ritalin can't achieve that goal on the long term! Just 10-15 minutes a day can "retrain the brain" so a child can control his/her ADHD's impulsive behavior and learn to pay attention. Ritalin merely masks the symptoms and classroom behaviors of ADD  ADHD kids. It cannot eliminate the side effect of ADD and ADHD. While children love to do the exercises, therapeutic music calms the brain by dampening impulse control. 

Daniel Goleman, Ph.D.,says, "There is no psychological skill more fundamental than impulse control. It's the root of all emotional self-control.  "While Ritalin can calm the symptoms of stress and anxiety of ADHD on a short term basis, it can't eliminate ADHD's symptoms on the long term as multi-sensory handwriting does. Lack of impulse control drives a ADHD child's behavior.  

Research reveals that neglecting penmanship gravely deprives the brain of essential regulated stimulation that primes it for the learning process while absolutely building impulse control to quell ADHD  behaviors and dramatically deepen attention spans. Regulated stimulation profoundly influences those with ADHD, ADD, learning disabilities, autism, Aspergers, and dyslexia, etc.--all without resorting to Ritalin or Adderall.

Public School system's neglect of stressing good old fashioned penmanship has been missing in action for decades. Tossed out of the curriculum decades ago, emphasis on the process has dwindled from a few years to a scant few weeks. Yet, satisfied parent testimonials here dominantly reflect that nothing else tried influenced the learning process and developed impulse control like these handwriting exercises did! 

In just 10-15 minutes a day parents can help "retrain" their child's brain to develop impulse control that drives behavior in the comfort of their home. Ritalin and other ADHD medications simply cover up the symptoms- it can't physically change or stabilize the brain.

Don't Let Your Child Fall Through the Cracks!

Handwriting's influence on the brain is irreplaceably integrates the upper brain with the lower levels!  Sadly, the public school system grossly has neglected penmanship for decades even though that failure to develop handwriting skill dramatically handicaps the child's learning process.  Mel Levine, M.D., states, "If a child fails to develop basic skills, he/she will be unable to write with the speed and fluency required to excel as these demands increase. If a child struggles with a writing issue, the writing process itself interferes with learning!"

Therapeutic Music is the Magic in the Process

This highly effective, innovative program combines handwriting movement exercises with therapeutic music. Adding therapeutic music to movement is a long term gift to learning as it "entrains" the brain's rhythm and pulls it into the music's rhythm. The activity calms the brain and begins to stabilize how it's firing, or, misfiring!   

Parents are delighted in avoiding Ritalin's side effects and/ or abuse! Just a few minutes of daily practice provides a powerful Ritalin alternative--a win/win situation for students, parents, teachers and society on the long term. A Ritalin free alternative for ADHD/ADD drugs unlike any other, but with no danger of side effects or abuse!

Fifty years ago, German neurologist Rudolph Pophal determined that handwriting has a physiological/psychological link in the brain. He found that the intense neural activity involved in producing handwriting inherently influences individual psychology, i.e., impulse  control, i.e, self-control. 

His research & my satisfied customer testimonials reflect early handwriting intervention is key to counteract TV's negative impact on the brain. As a visual medium, TV appeals to the right brain's visual orientation. Excessive TV can delay a child in achieving developmental readiness, a natural shift from the right brain to the left. This essential shift reveals that a child is ready to learn the 3Rs- reading, 'riting, and arithmetic. Using age-appropriate  exercises for preschoolers and kindergartners can counteract that delay so the child doesn't lag behind by ensuring that impulse control is gained and the attention span is developed. This is a natural remedy for ADHD and ADD children--without resorting to Ritalin, Adderal, or Concerta.
