Brain Training for Kids: Happier, Healthier Learning
Finally, screen time parents can feel good about.As parents, we all want our children to thrive, to feel happy making new friends, to build confidence in their studies, and to grow more independent with each passing year.
As an educator, I see these same goals as opportunities to help children strengthen their social skills, sharpen their thinking, and develop better problem-solving and reasoning abilities. That’s where NeurOptimal® brain training can make a difference.
So What Does That Mean?
When we, as educators, break those skills down even more, we think of:
- Socialization skills help with being happy, communicating with others, resolving conflict and learning to compromise.
- Cognitive skills cover what we think of as reading, writing, math, science, history, health, and physical education.
- Problem solving/reasoning skills relate to the “what if’s” (problem solving) and the “yeah buts” (reasoning), skills needed for them to survive on their own.
For children to thrive, they need more than just knowledge. Skills like attention, focus, listening, memory, and organization all play a big role in how they learn, grow, and manage their day.
Whether it’s finishing homework, following along in class, or remembering to pack their backpack, these everyday tasks rely on a wide network of brain-based abilities.
NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback® is designed to support the brain’s natural resilience and flexibility, giving kids the opportunity to strengthen the foundation for learning and living with greater ease.
Training Your Mind & Your Body
School is most beneficial when students, staff, and parents are in peak mental condition.
NeurOptimal® brain training supports just that, helping individuals perform at their optimal level. NeurOptimal® does not target any single skill. Instead, it supports the brain globally by enhancing its ability to transition, respond, and adapt to change with greater flexibility.
Imagine how the foundational skills mentioned above could flourish if your child were able to respond and adjust more quickly and effectively. Every brain—and every child—is capable of this. While each child trains differently, a consistent pattern we’ve observed is subtle yet meaningful change. Without much prompting, children begin doing things that give the impression of maturing more quickly than their peers.
Many parents report their child packing their backpack independently, completing homework without reminders, and planning ahead to stay organized. Improvements across gross motor, fine motor, language, problem-solving, and social-personal skills often follow; supporting better performance in every area of school, from academics to athletics.
Who wouldn’t want that for their child?
Being a teenager has never been easy.
Mood swings, resistance, and insecurity can all be signs of teen stress or other underlying challenges.
Teen stress is often overlooked, and its impact on mental and physical well-being is frequently underestimated. Sources of stress can include academic pressure, social dynamics, identity exploration, trauma, family conflict, or even global events, such as the recent pandemic.
Your teen may seem agitated, anxious, withdrawn, or down. They might be facing negative peer pressure while also juggling high expectations in school and extracurricular activities.
It’s important not to ignore these signs or sweep them under the rug. Your awareness and support can make a real difference.
While there is no cure for being a teenager, we as parents naturally look for ways to help our kids grow and thrive while minimizing their stress and struggles. There is no universal playbook.
Physical exercise can help ease the effects of stress. So can supporting the brain through training, which may promote wellness, a sense of calm and confidence, improved focus, and greater resilience.
By nurturing these qualities, we can help teens feel more prepared to meet life’s challenges and grow into the best version of themselves.
