Understanding ADHD and developing the mind
At RealEd, I question what I see as the rise in 'pidgeon holing', otherwise called 'conventional models' that, to me, just label curious minds, rather than nurturing them. Explore the real nature of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, examine early signs, and rethink how we can better support vibrant brains without relying on rigid systems.
Spotting early signs and natural patterns
Recognising ADHD begins with identifying how a young brain navigates everyday stimuli. I think that rather than viewing restlessness, divergent thinking, or hyperfocus as flaws, we can understand them as innate cognitive traits.
Personally, I've found those who were 'statemented' by schools, often showed intense curiosity, rapid information processing, and a hunger for active engagement in Further Education, rather than in todays "classroom compliance",
So basically, is this Attention just selective over its 'Deficiency'? And where does this Hyperactivity Deficiency come from?
So what's the truth about this "label", and how come schools "say" they have issues, yet I never found that myself 🤔
A psychological or psychiatric question?
Where does ADHD sit within modern science?
While psychiatric frameworks often define it as a neurodevelopmental disorder requiring clinical intervention, I found different. Psychological perspectives explore behavioural adaptation, environmental friction, and learning dynamics.
The best way I can simply put my point across here, was a lad, who was statemented, due to his (alledged) behaviour during his 12 years of mainstream education.
One Parents night, I met his mother, and he introduced me to his mother as 'the father he never had". His Mother then responded by stating that he (the lad) 'never stops talking about You at home, and it's so nice to finally meet you'.
Now those two sentences, completely made me realise that this lad had simply been failed by his upbringing, and the two schools He'd attended. So, unapologetically, I do not support any of this pigeon holing nonsense.
read my page about BETARIS BOX and then think deeper, ask yourself why these kids are being failed and damaged by the 'broken family' "trend",and societal collapse, which is exactly why I want to see families and communities back again!
Rethinking intervention and medication
In today's world, pharmaceutical management always seems to be the answer, however I don't agree with that at all.
I have been completely honest by stating that I am not a Phsycologist, nor a Phsychiatrist, but I am an Educated human being, with natural Empathy, so, in my opinion, the money chasing petro-chemical pharmaceutical company's need to shut up!
Through RealEd, I hope to advocate for developing children's brains through real-world problem solving, movement, and genuine curiosity.
My final toughts;
I believe that todays educational system has been deliberately engineered to hinder how young minds naturally develop, and indeed, wrongly, artificial suppression has grown instead.
And just one more thought for you:
Why in history, didn't Socrates or Plato hold, or need to hold, the title of Dr, or Professor, yet thousands of years later, we still know their names?
