Age group(s) for which this technique is helpful:
Elementary School
Middle School
High School & Beyond

Primarily used to improve behavior:
Both At Home and At School

Instructions for using this technique:
Find a Neurology Psycologist, one who performs these treatments. Psychiatrists DO NOT perform these treatments. I do not recommend seeing a psychiatrist.

Biofeedback does require about 20 treatments to see the changes and improvements in your child.

This treatment really works for children and gives child more self confidence in themselves. Improving their self esteem & personal power.

Other information parents should consider before using this technique:
Weaning your child from any drug, like Ritalin, would be a start if you do not want your child to be a long term drug user.

BE READY TO TAKE THE SITUATION ON HEAD STRONG. What parents need to remember is dealing with the situation and helping their child(ren) resolve this problem is in their best interests, NOT providing them with drugs to neglect the problem.
