What is Brain Highways? Well, you seriously need to go to the website and check it out because I have a disorganized brain, and I could not fully explain it without going on some random tangent and confusing everyone including myself. Basically it is a company that believes a lot of people have missing highways (nerve connections) in their brains and they believe that their method can help build those highways and connect them to become more functional in life.
Sounds crazy right? Yes it does sound crazy to me too. But honestly I'm at my wits end with my son and myself. What's wrong with my son? Nothing. But he drives me batty and mostly because he is just like me. I see so much of myself in him, but because I'm just like him I don't know how to handle it, and I get frustrated and lash out at him. I judge him a lot because I see so much of myself in him. I feel if I got over this why can't he? Not very good parenting.
I don't have a diagnosis for Nick. If anything I would say he has they symptoms of someone with Aspergers and ADHD has. He had a hard time focusing on a task. Socially awkward around peers. Easily frustrated. He is forgetful, but oddly has a great memory when it comes to events. Just not where he put his pencil. I could go on.
Anyways to say the least I have the same issues. So with my lack of focus and easy frustration you can see parenting comes hard for me. I can't keep a schedule, I'm not consistent and I'm so easily irritated.
By watching Brain Highways videos I actually felt that maybe if I organize my brain I could be a better parent. How fun it was to learn that in order for the child to be successful Brain Highways now require that at least one parent organize their brain alongside their child.
So this blog is just a documentation of our journey together. I'm excited and apprehensive. There is a lot of work. And quite frankly I tend to runaway from lot of work. But hopefully they will help me conquer my fears by organizing our brains. I would be lying if I didn't hope in my heart that this is going to cure Nick and he will be totally different. But I know that I cannot hold that kind of expectation for him. Documenting our journey will help me see where we have grown. Hope you will join us!
