Education Series Part 4 | Teaching the Brain to See Itself: ADHD, Anxiety, and Neurofeedback with Dr. Larthenia Howard

Does neurofeedback therapy work? Should you utilize neurofeedback therapy for your kids? Today we're talking about neurofeedback (also known as biofeedback) therapy for ADHD, anxiety, and academic challenges.  In Part 4 of our Education Series, recorded live at The Step Up for Students Conference in Orlando, Florida Ryann Watkin sits down with Dr. Larthenia Howard, known to so many as Dr. L.  After 26 years in K-12 education, including time as a school principal, Dr. L became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Neurofeedback Practitioner. Today she helps kids and adults with ADHD, anxiety, and regulation through a brain-based approach. This conversation is full of joy and so much hope. Dr. L reminds us that education was never meant to be about filling kids up with information. It’s about helping a whole person see that every part of them matters. In this episode, we explore: The real heart of education (hint: it’s not more information) The fear Dr. L sees most often in parents: that something is wrong with their child How the messages kids hear from teachers, peers, and parents become the story they tell about themselves Why kids reveal how they see themselves when you ask about their friends What neurofeedback actually is, in plain language How the brain can learn to regulate itself, and what that means for ADHD, anxiety, and focus Connect with Dr. L: Anchor of Hope Family Therapy, LLC https://myanchorofhopetherapy.com/ If this episode speaks to you, share it with a parent or teacher who’s been carrying this worry alone. Raising Wild Hearts with Ryann Watkin explores psychology, spirituality, parenthood, and the intersection where they all come together. 🎧Yoto Player | Screen Free Fun for Kids The audio player that makes screen free time easier.
