Comment on How to beat the word NO by Robin Chipman

Hello,

I am a communication student and I am researching the word “no” and its biopsychosocial effects on communication & health. It intereting to me that I feel the same way about no as your article. I am desperate for research leads. Nobody is doing research on “choice words” that I can find. If you have any leads I would be so grateful.

Thank you,

Have spare school supplies, including pencils, pens, notebooks, paper and ink for the printer. Portable flash drives are also great for saving homework and projects.

Comment on Why can’t kids concentrate? by roger friessen

you are on to something however I do feel we should change our educatonal delivery to sound bites. It is difficult to solve real problems with sound bites.

May hildren I have worked with can only focus their attention for 1 – 2 minutes on a given task. They must talk or move around to reset their brain so they can focus for another 1- 2 minutes.

While medication seems to make the brain work faster so children can to keep up with the demand on their brain, the benefit are questionable considering their side effects.

If we are to beleive the research that the human brain can change at any age, we need to focus our attention on how to create the needed brain change so Children can focus their attention, filter out distactions, remember facts and numbers.

There are programs that can acomplish all this.

Going shopping for school supplies certainly get our kids back to thinking about school. Just opening all the new supplies and organizing them into a pencil case seems to be the final step, knowing school is just around the corner. They are excited about using that new calculator and can’t wait to draw that first picture with newly sharpened pencil crayons. But…these are for school only, so the excitement builds up to that first day!

Comment on Eating for Better Attention by Matthew

Yes very right that we consume some food that can affect our brain and our cognitive ability without even knowing. Some food like candies, soft drinks can be avoided,but what if food coloring is used even in fruits and vegetables. we advise our children to have veggies and fruits, but even those are not safe. Sea food is another brain food, but not sure how long will it remain brain food.
