We are asking our brains to do things that they are not designed to do. This puts pressure on the memory, learning and attention mechanisms in the brain needed for imagination, inspiration and creativity that is the hallmark of our existence. A review of researchfrom the past decade has found that adolescents who demonstrated Internet addiction scored higher for obsessive–compulsive behavior, depression, generalized and social anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, introversion, and other maladaptive behaviors. A study at Brown University showed that clinical symptom of anxiety, depression, attention issues, and dissatisfaction decreased when families unplugged.
Potential benefits of using media consciously
Without media and technology guidance, we can easily become addicted to constant activity, stimulation and communication. There are however, potential benefits of using media consciously-with adult guidance:
Without media and technology guidance, we can easily become addicted to constant activity, stimulation and communication. There are however, potential benefits of using media consciously-with adult guidance:
- Media can be used consciously to give children a chance to explore places, animals, people, ideas, issues and cultures children couldn’t see or connect with otherwise.
- It can inspire them to try new activities and engage in new ideas.
- Media can help teach children empathy, understanding, respect and tolerance towards people of other races, cultures and beliefs, plus provides them with a larger world view.
- Media can be used as an opportunity to show developmentally appropriate positive role models and helping behavior for children it imitate
Brighten the Brain can strengthen the areas of the brain that are struggling with learning, behavior and emotional challenges. Neurofeedback helps strengthen the rate and quality of neuro-communication between all areas of the brain. It enables people to transcend ineffective thoughts, addictions and behavior patterns so they can optimize their potential. Neurofeedback training helps people to learn how to direct their brain away from counterproductive mental patterns and reflexes, and redirect it toward flexibility and resilience.
Neurofeedback bypasses the conscious mind and directly “trains” the brain to Create new neuropathways and a healthy nervous system from which a child can optimize their ability to regulate their own behavior.
Using computerized feedback, the brain learns to increasecertain brainwaves that are helpful for improved function.The brain can decrease excessive fast or slow brainwaves that interfere with good function. Over time, the result is a healthier and better-regulated bra
