Jenna's Story

My daughter Jenna  was always daydreaming and when she was young it was amusing but as she got older, by grade 5, it became more noticeable since she did it often and in situations where it was not at all appropriate, for example, in class. She has always had problems with multiple instructions  or instructions with several steps. In grade 6, her teacher noticed that she just stopped computing information and zoned out whenever she felt overwhelmed. She would not absorb or remember instructions past the second or third step. The daydreaming caused several problems in that she missed out on information given by the teacher  and would have to catch up later. She also could not control her daydreaming, and it happened all the time and often, not by choice. She also had trouble focusing, concentrating and took a very long time to do homework. In the first couple of months of  grade 7, it became obvious that Jenna could not keep up and that something was a bit off. Jenna herself expressed frustration at not be able to keep up in class and the amount of time it took to do homework. She could not do homework by herself and had to be supervised very closely. She could not do assignments by herself either and often it was because she was not clear on the objective since she had not heard the instructions which were all oral and never written down in class. After researching on the internet and talking to friends etc, I was lucky enough to hear about Dr. Gottfried and his computer program for focusing and memory. I must mention that while I was thrilled to be hearing about this computer program, I was also very skeptical since I am an accountant and in accounting we focus on numbers in black and white. I did not know much about this subject and the whole area of special need programs. We then started with the computer program at home.

At the end of the third week we began noticing improvement in alertness, focusing and much less daydreaming. The first week back to school after the holidays Jenna was happy to report that she was able to concentrate in class with minimal daydreaming and found it easier to keep up and focus. In fact she said that the program showed her how her brain was supposed to feel while focusing and she would bring on that focusing feeling in class to get focused. She was also less tired at the end of the school day and very much less overwhelmed. She started doing her homework on her own more and more and even completed several assignments by herself. Her school marks have improved dramatically. Her horseback riding instructor also noticed that Jenna was able to follow dressage pattern steps much more readily whereas in the past Jenna would have to watch several riders go first to get the pattern and usually still had trouble. She is now able to be the first one to try the pattern and usually is successful. Her science teacher, who had noticed the zoning out in class, said Jenna was now focused and participating in class. At the end of six weeks there was a distinct improvement in all areas.

I find that Jenna is actually more relaxed, shows more autonomy in getting things done, less tired, and never seems to get as overwhelmed with homework (even if it is a heavy week with lots of assignments). We have quite deliberately asked her to do several things at once, and find they all get done with minimal fuss. She definitely could not do that before. I have found tutoring her in math (not her strong subject) is minimal now and if a concept is not understood, she can quickly grasp it when I explain it. Before I found I was trying to teach a concept (math) several different ways in order to get her to grasp it. Now she even gets it before I finish the explanation.

I would definitely recommend this program to any parent of a child or a person who is experiencing these symptoms. My daughter and I both see improvement in many areas and it is directly attributable to this program. It takes time and effort but it comes with the lifetime reward of being able to achieve your full potential. 

We are now going to start Sharper Memory and alternate with Sharper Brain every couple of days.

OUR NOTES:

Jenna is only one of hundreds of kids as well as adults enjoying the many benefits of SharperBrain.

By the way, SharperMemory is not a must program for ADD or ADHD but can be very helpful with LD conditions. It is also a great program for those suffering from memory problems that are not directly caused by lack of attention, and for those interested in generally maximizing their brain power.
