How Ayurveda Helps In Child Development?

Learning ability, learning imbalances, ADHD , harnessing nature’s intelligence in food At school - the Ayurvedic view of learning ability Children starting back at school are ready for fresh achievement and enjoyment. Or are they? School is a major part of a child’s life, so how can parents make sure their children are well prepared to get maximum enjoyment and benefit from the hours they spend there? One way is to enhance learning ability by applying the knowledge of Ayurveda. Ayurveda describe three aspects of mental ability: dhi (acquisition or learning), dhriti, (retention), and smriti (recall ability). When these three mental functions are balanced, a child s mind is quick and bright. When not balanced, either individually or in their coordination with each another, learning difficulties can occur. Learning disorders and their effects—ADHD, socialising and self-esteem Children with learning difficulties often feel like failures at school, which can lead to frustration , low self-esteem and related behavioural problems. There is already concern about a range of problem behaviours associated with poor attention span . These may include impulsiveness, restlessness and hyperactivity , as well as inattentiveness. Such behaviours often prevent children from learning and socialising well and are called ADHD or hyperkinetic disorder.

You're all crammed into the car for the family holiday. You’ve been on the road a while and now your children are reacting to the long drive. Red-haired Amanda keeps saying, "I'm hot!" and "I'm hungry. When do we eat?" She is trying to get the others to play car games, which she usually wins. Thin, wiry Jenny is talking a mile a minute, wound up from the travel and anxious to get there. Simon, who is prone to gaining weight, congenially listens to his sisters and then drifts off to sleep. As every parent knows, no two children are alike. Just as one child may have blond hair and another dark, psychological and physical needs can also vary widely from child to child. Once you understand about your child's Ayurveda mind-body type - his or her basic make-up - you know how to help. The health and creativity of the child is based on how much good feeling, how much emotional, physiological, and psychological nourishment he or she receives from the parents.
