Dear fellow parent,

You are here because your child is having trouble. And when your child is having trouble, you have trouble too. I know, I have been there…

Answer there questions first, you will be happy you did:

If you have answered more than 5 questions with yes, you are here on the right spot. Together, we can change the life of your child and your family around in as little as 48 hours. There is a condition: I only work with you if you are intelligent, motivated and dedicated parents, because these are the types of parents that will be successful. And I will only use your time or mine on projects that are sure to succeed!

The first step I ask you to take, is to Click here to download the free e-book I wrote. This e-book gives you the basic notions about what we will accomplish within a very short time. It could be that this e-book alone is enough for you to reach all the goals you want with your child. Experience shows that parents who work together with me get faster and better results with less effort, but you are more than welcome to just download the book and get started today. If at any point in time you feel that my help would bring on results even faster, I am here to help you and to share my experience and knowledge with you.

After reading the book, I invite you for a complimentary session to assess your specific situation and the possibilities I see for your child. I will give you homework assignments in the first session already, and you will start seeing change very soon after you start to apply the principles. If you feel that your child and you will benefit from longer term support, I do coaching programs specifically adapted to children with ADD and ADHD and their parents. I use special tools for children, adapted to the age of your child; as I believe that a tailor-made solution always works better than a one-size-fits-all approach.

As soon as you enrol in my coaching program, I will take you by the hand and we will together develop a tailor made approach for your child. Within 48 hours you will see amazing changes, and your child will be grateful for the new relationship he will have with you and all the other people around him. His notes will improve, and his teachers will ask for the name of the new drug you are giving him – and your answer will be that he is not taking any drugs!

Josh is my own daughter, she is the one who made me study and research, and since we developed this great relationship and she is doing so well at school, I decided to start to help other children too.

Manuela: “I don’t know what to say! André seems a different child. We only started day before yesterday with the diet, and he is so calm and nice. I asked him to bring his bicycle in, and he did not only bring it in, but also cleaned it first. We have had so many rows about that, and he would never do it when I would ask him.”

Maria: “The teacher asked what the name was of the new drugs I’m giving Carla. I told her she is not taking any, but she does not believe me. Remember she was obliging us to giver her medication, otherwise she would not accept her in school? Carla’s notes have gone up by 25% in this short time, and she even enjoys maths now!”

PS. Take your child’s future serious. I mean it. I do too. Click here to download the free e-book”. Read it, apply the principles and ask for a free consultation as soon as you’re done. Your child is worth it.

On Dr.Mercola’s site I read an article about EMR, electro magnetic radiation, and the effects it has on our health.

You should go and read the article, but first I want to give you a couple of easy tips. I suspect that EMR does have a strong influence on our sensitive children, and especially the ones with ADD symptoms. In the original article ADHD is mentioned as one of the conditions which are thought to be provoked by the enormous increase in radiation we are being exposed to.

For now, first the

5 Easy Steps to Create a Sleeping Sanctuary

1. Use battery clocks near bed.
Research has shown that exposure to high magnetic fields while sleeping can cause severe long-term illness. Many electric clocks produce high magnetic fields.

2. Turn off bedroom circuit breakers.
A restful sleep is necessary for health and a strong immune system. Electric fields affect the bio-communication system, keeping you from sleeping soundly. Our own bedrooms are now connected with a special circuit breaker, which I switch off at night. I feel better in the morning, and it is easier to go to sleep. My daughter feels a big difference; she normally could not sleep at night, and now she falls asleep easily.

3. Eliminate or shield from RF.
Radio frequency (RF) signals from portable phones, cell phones, and wireless devices have been shown to interfere with the body’s immune system. My cellphone now lives in the kitchen at night, and I just bought a cable to connect the computers to the router instead of the wireless network we used to have. I switched off the wireless on the router.

4. Use beds without metal.
Metal frames and metal box springs can amplify and distort the earth’s natural magnetic field, which can lead to a non-restful sleep. Use natural materials. This is a bit harder to do, I was lucky in that I have an all natural matress. The bedframe has some metal strips, I am going to replace them with wood.

5. Make sure there are no elevated magnetic fields.
Magnetic fields from appliances and building wiring can penetrate walls into a bedroom and disrupt the body’s communication system. Only solution here is putting a copper mesh on the walls – not very practical I am afraid. I will have another look into this, also trying to protect ourselves from the mobile phone antenna which we can see from the house…

Let me share a little piece from the article:

A recent study from Sweden is particularly frightening, suggesting that if you started using a cell phone as a teen, you have a 5 times greater risk of brain cancer than those who started as an adult.

A recent study showed that exposure to very-low-frequency voltage signals (1-100kHz), or “dirty electricity,” can greatly increase your risk of melanoma, thyroid cancer, and uterine cancer. These signals are largely by-products of electronics, such as modern energy-efficient appliances, televisions, stereos and other entertainment devices.

These electronic devices use a lower voltage than other appliances, and this manipulation of current creates a complex electromagnetic field. This field not only radiates into the immediate environment but also can travel along home or office wiring throughout the neighborhood.

“For the first time in our evolutionary history, we have generated an entire secondary, virtual, densely complex environment — an electromagnetic soup — that essentially overlaps the human nervous system,” says Michael Persinger, PhD, a neuroscientist at Laurentian University who has studied the effects of EMFs on cancer cells.

All little bits help, and if I discover more easy tips, I will share them here. I have a question for you: What tips do you have to protect ourselves more from this radiation? Please share in the comment form!

John Soriano (one of my EFT for ADD buddies) already told me about it, the Zpoint technique, and I was reluctant: yet another EFT-inspired healing technique… This morning however, I checked the site out, and I decided to just give it a try. Not necessarily related to any symptoms of ADD, but definitely useful for us parents coping with our ADD children. It’s a very simple process, and there is a free MP3 meditation in which Grant Connolly leads you through the process. I literally just finished, and I am feeling in a blissful relaxed state of mind.

—- When you’re ready to go, just click here to download the MP3 file —-

So I’m not going to say much about it, I just suggest you find 15 minutes and just do it, whatever you are feeling at this moment. It is a great way to start your day, or to finish your day at night I am sure – I am going to put the meditation on my MP3 player and trying how that feels that tonight. (I’m pretty sure it will work wonders for my feeling of peace before I go to sleep!)

And now I really feel ready for a focussed and happy day – Thanks John, for sharing this!

PS: Did I say it is a process you can do anywhere, anytime, even with people around you? The effect is immediate and I do admit, Grant does not make any empty promises. Click here to download the Zpoint meditation (and if you wish, you can listen to it online too, on the same page.) Go ahead, and tell me what your experience is!

PPS: Not only for you, but for your kids too. I want to see if Grant is in for making a special version for children – I would love to hear your ideas about that: For which age group do you prefer it to be, how long should the recording be, should it be general or specific for certain ADD/ADHD problems, and if yes, which ones? Please comment below, so that we can make something which will be more than useful for you – my loyal readers!

The schoolrun has been challenging over the past few weeks, to say the least. I know that children with symptoms of ADD are often actually hyper sensitive kids, and Josh is no exception to that. She is so fed up with the bullying and the teasing, she is 100% sure she does not want to go to school anymore. But, the paperwork for the homeschooling is taking its time… So she still has to go. Every day with more trouble.

Going to school: Long whining stories about what happened in the last days and will happen for sure today. “If they call me names again, I phone you, OK, Mom? And then you come and pick me up, OK?”
“Sure, honey”.

Coming from school: “And then he said this, and then I said that, and then the teacher scolded me for using bad words, it is sooo unfair… Tomorrow I do not go to school, no way, they can stuff it, I am so sick of it, they are all “/%&”)$)”.
“I understand sweetheart”.

Anyway, this did not bring us anywhere, we just went round in the same circles, me telling her to hang in there, and she telling me she couldn’t.

Now I did listen during the last couple of days to The Vortex by Abraham, as channeled by Esther Hicks. Loads of wise words and insights, and what really got me was the knowledge, that we are the ones that form our world. In other words: Focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want, and there will be more and more of what you want in your life. So, every time there is something unwanted in your awareness, turn your attention to what it is you DO want.

Right then, I started 3 days ago:
“Mom, they did ….”.
“OK, Honey, what would you have wanted them to do instead? When have they been nice to you? You want them to be like that don’t you?”
“Sure”. Smile. “I remember, the time when..” More smiles.
…
“Mom, he is just a $%#=/=.”
“Sure he is, but has he ever been pleasant to you? When was that? What if he would always be like that?”
“Yeah, in the beginning of the year, remember that I did sing for the class? Then he was nice to me”. Smile.
“See, you’re feeling better now already?”
Smile. “Yeah…”

Now, it’s 3 days later, and this morning we drove to school, singing together. I really look forward to pick her up in an hour’s time – see what her day has been like. Yesterday she had little to complain about, which was a big shift from the past 18 months…

Will keep you posted – and if you find yourself in the same situation, try it, and please comment on this post with your experiences!

Found on Networked blogs, a cool Facebook application which helps me to keep track what my fellow EFT practitioners and ADD/ADHD coaches write about. I would love you to become my friend on Facebook, so we can share thought and insights! See you on the other side! Click here: http://www.facebook.com/charkamman

The article I want to show you, is named “Make Do-Not-Do Lists for Better Productivity”, and is written by Lisa Hoover.

It is written for adults, but with a little imagination, it is easy to see how we can help our children to keep on track when we use the principles she talks about. My own thoughts are printed in italics, Lisa’s original article is in normal print.

“Nearly every time management system advocates to-do lists in some form to help keep us on track. Consider turning that advice on its head and make a do-not-do list instead.

Success Magazine blogger Chelsea Greenwood says to-do lists can be helpful, but only to a point. Eventually, they can get so long and unwieldy they start to take over our lives and sap our energy to get anything done. After all, who wants to confront a mile-long list of tasks staring them in the face?

Overwhelm is a very common emotion in children with symptoms of ADD or ADHD. They do not always show us, but you can be sure that they do feel that way. EFT tapping can help them to get over the overwhelm, and if combined with time management skills, it is obvious that the benefits will be numerous

Instead, take a hard look at how you spend your day and try to identify where your giant black holes of time are. Too many coffee breaks? Too much time spent surfing productivity sites (though we’ll give you a free pass on that)? Once you figure out where your time sinks are, write yourself a do-not-do list so you minimize how much time you spend doing things that aren’t particularly productive.

Fidgeting, reading comics, playing computer games, talking to friends on MSN… They are all very time consuming. We can help our children by allowing a certain amount of time for each of these activities. Children with symptoms of ADD and ADHD especially, also need time to just relax, preferably meditate and allow their busy minds to slow down for a moment. We need to help them to find this “off-time” – and we can only do that by showing them they do not need to do something the whole day long.

Depending on how drastic your findings are, implementing your do-not-do list may require persistence and teamwork. Post the list in one or more visible areas to remind yourself what you should not be doing, and enlist the support of co-workers, friends or loved ones to keep you on track.

Now, no one’s recommending that you never take a break or waste time during the day—everybody needs a little down time. Instead, use your do-not-do list as a way to stay focused on your goals and realize that the more time you spend avoiding things on your new list bring you that much closer to getting where you want to be.”

So, program the down-time for your child, and allow for this down-time by limiting his activity time!
