School can be a place of enormous pressure for a teenager socially and academically. As a parent, we want the best for our children and therefore you could be wondering, “How can I support my teenager to bring out their best, whether that is socially, emotionally or even their grades?” It’s fair to say that most parents would like to know their teenager is learning, retaining information, thinking independently, and developing the right sense of competence at school.
If this sounds like you, then we have a great option—brain training! Brain training with NeurOptimal® seeks to enhance the core skills of the brain to improve the way your child learns, remembers, reasons, pays attention, focuses and much more.
In this post, we’ll look at the ways that Neurofeedback training can help you improve your teen’s academic performance whilst supporting their emotional well-being. Please continue reading to learn more!
What Is Brain Training?
Our brains are a major component of what makes us “us.” It controls a variety of physical processes, decodes sensory input, and manages our emotions. Our brains are also the hubs for memory, intelligence, and creativity. Having said that, keeping your teenager’s brain in top shape can give them a head start toward success, particularly in their studies.
To do that, brain training offers substantial benefits. Brain training refers to any intervention that is designed to preserve or enhance one’s cognitive talents, such as intelligence, memory, and the capacity to think.
There is a new generation of brain training technologies that are accessible, and if you’re looking for the safest and most natural brain training system around, NeurOptimal® training is the way to go. NeurOptimal® works ‘behind the scenes which means no effort on behalf of your teenager which means it’s more efficient and more likely they will use it. It sharpens the mind, helps one to focus and supports emotional well-being.
What is NeurOptimal®?
NeurOptimal® is the most advanced system of neurofeedback technology. As a state-of-the-art neurotechnology program, it is designed to show your brain how to function at its best without any side effects. It provides you with critical feedback to optimise brain function by monitoring the brain’s electrical activity and providing audio interrupts that support the brain to optimise itself.
How Can Neuroptimal® Brain Training Help With Better Grades?
1). Strengthens Executive Functions
Executive functions are a group of mental skills that include the capacity to organise, manage time, and recall details, the capacity for emotional control, problem-solving, adaptability, organisation, effective communication, and many others.
When your child strengthens these functions, they will naturally improve in their academic performance. For example, because they can manage time better, they will plan ahead and finish their homework on time which allows them more time to study which also means they are a lot more receptive to learning.
2). Enhances Concentration and Attention
Some students struggle to find the motivation to revise, study and do their homework, and more often than not wait until the last minute to turn in assignments. Distractibility results in forgetfulness, sluggish task completion, problems with organising, and difficulty following through with lessons. Brain training can help your teenager revitalise and re-energise the part of their brain responsible for attention and concentration. In this sense, your child can concentrate better and therefore understand the content better.
3). Improves Memory and Creativity
Did you know that academic success in school has a lot to do with your child’s ability to process, store, retrieve, and analyse information? For your child to be successful academically, improving their memory is vital. Training with NeurOptimal® can support the brain to have greater focus and be in the ‘present’ which can support improvements in memory and creativity.
4). Supports the Management of Stress
The teenage years were never simple! Teen stress or other problems can be indicated by our teenagers’ moodiness, resistance, and insecurity. The effects of teen stress on their physical and mental health are frequently ignored. Teenagers may experience stress relating to their academics, social lives, sexual orientation, or even related to trauma, family strife, and global events (such as this current pandemic). Your teenager may come across as agitated, anxious, depressed, or reclusive. They can be coping with peer pressure that isn’t positive as well as pressure to succeed in school and sports. Don’t disregard it or brush it aside!
