Overcharged


 A few years ago my daughter got a new ipod for her birthday. Excited, she tossed the old ipod in the dock and left it there. Still in the dock for several months now, the ipod exploded. It had reached its capacity and had no outlet to release the energy that had built up inside and just exploded.

I use this analogy to our children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and an overly charged battery. "ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder of childhood. It affects about 3 - 5% of school aged children. ADHD is diagnosed much more often in boys than in girls. Depression, lack of sleep, learning disabilities, tic disorders, and behavior problems may be confused with, or appear with, ADHD." Most children are born with an incredible amount of energy that when they are finally able to release it, it can be over whelming. Children with this amount of energy will release it in many ways, just to let it out. Society talks about humans being spiritual being living a human existence however human beings aren't being treated like spiritual beings. The first sign of behavior that is NOT considered "normal", is then looked at for treatment with medication. There are many factors a child may have that can contribute to an overly charged behavior.  "Every child suspected of having ADHD should be carefully examined by a doctor to rule out possible other conditions or reasons for the behavior. Medication may be necessary in some cases, with the addition of holistic remedies and alternative healing methods, but its not necessary for all. Just as there are many factors that can contribute to an overly charged behavior, there are just as many holistic remedies that can be offered.

A well balanced diet can help dramatically. Removing processed and refined foods, junk food, caffeine and sugary foods can alleviate the aggressiveness in the mind, body and spirit. Herbs have also shown to be beneficial in people with mental health disorders. Ginkgo Biloba has been used for brain function and concentration. Chamomile is a great tea and has been used for anxiety and nervousness. Essential oils are a great way to catch a little one on the go without all of the fuss. Fragrances of pure essential oils can go along way.  Lavender is an excellent oil to calm the mind's chatter. A combination of holistic healing methods would benefit any spiritual being not just the ones with an overly charged spirit.
