Description
This course is designed to teach parents how to help their children increase focus and learning effectiveness by focusing the on the mind-body connection, and using strategies for learning and executive function skills, and holistic health approaches to enhance wellness.
Executive function skills are the mental processes that help you get where you are going and achieve your goals. In this course, we examine concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which can be used to help us improve executive function skills, increase focus, and reduce anxiety around learning.
Commonly, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is used to treat physical complaints, such as pain syndromes, headaches, and digestive disorders. However, it also addresses cognitive and emotional issues, such as anxiety, depression, learning issues, and focus.
We know that it can be used to restore the physical body, but it can also help to improve the functioning of the mind, and address learning and thinking skills.
In this course we will explore how we can use the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to improve executive function skills, such as focus and attention, working memory, planning, organization, task initiation, task monitoring, self-monitoring, inhibition, emotional regulation, shifting, and goal-directed persistence.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each organ system is connected to a particular emotion and a specific virtue, or part of a person’s psyche. It is through this theory that we examine the various executive functions and make connections to the various systems of the body, and then we can see how the body, mind, and soul are all connected.through improving your executive function skills through the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine
