Clear Mind reasearch

So I have been researching reasons as to why children and youth can't focus in school.

I hope to put together a workbook or handbook with an audio CD that explains areas which need to be addressed in order to be able to be successful in school and beyond.

I am very excited about this and I never felt so strongly attached to a project as much as this one.  I feel passionate about this and my hope is to see parents, students and teachers apply this research I have done in a few practical ways.

One of them is a club. Not just any club, a club that encompasses all aspects of my research.  I have already organized the idea for the club and I can't wait to get it started.
I am doing a pilot of it next week and I will be recording my observations.
It is not linked to any particular methodology but it is a group of ideas from different sources.
I wish with all my heart that I could do this as a PHD research project.

well, you never know....maybe one day!

what is wrong with me?

After doing some research, I have come to the conclusion that we are all a little of this and a little of that.....a little autistic....a little ADD, ADHD, a little bit of everything....

Diet, exercise, supplements, organization, scheduling and cleanliness can all help and things can definitely improve.
We can improve our concentration, our focus, our thoughts, our actions, our MOOD!!!!  We can organize things in a way that we are able to accomplish more, feel good and encourage others.
A diet with no sugar (use honey instead) no gluten(found in wheat), no casein (found in dairy), no whey(found in many packaged products) and add B6, magnesium, vitamin C, Zinc, selenium, trace minerals, probiotics, essential fatty acids (fish oil), digestive enzymes.
I love this finding and I really hope to try it out for a least some 3 months to see what improvements I see in myself and my family and report back!

Sunday school PE why not?

So I am currently working on a program to implement at Sunday schools, a 30-1hour class for kids to have PE while learning good manners.
I personally find that physical education can be done in a very spiritual way and I usually combine my daily memorization or remembrance of God while exercising.  So, I am working on a program that schools can have as an "option" to parents and students during their break/recess time.

Why? well, during recess time is the time where kids either free play, socialize or eat....and if we could still give them time to eat a healthy snack, have fun with their friends and play WHILE following a fun and engaging routine, BINGO!

I can't wait to see this happen!

And we start!

Bismillah!

Finally, I was able to get this blog started.  I hope to help parents, teachers and students and inspire many people to achieve their dreams by being able to focus and succeed in life through good habits.

My main concern is how to help kids succeed in school and in daily life and giving tools to both parents and teachers to make small adjustments that can help kids reach their full potential.
