Every day, thousands of parents are given the diagnosis that their child suffers with ADHD. It comes as no surprise, however, as the symptoms are typically obvious.

Daily, these parents find themselves:

Struggling to get their children to pay attention and focus

Parents often struggle with their child’s difficulty in maintaining focus and attention, both at school and at home. This can lead to academic challenges and frustration for both the child and the parent.

Overcoming her child’s academic struggles

Many parents witness their child falling behind in school due to challenges in organizing tasks, completing assignments, and managing time effectively. This can be a source of stress and concern for parents.

Disciplining various behavior challenges

ADHD can manifest in impulsive behavior, hyperactivity, and difficulty in self-control. Parents may find it challenging to manage these behaviors and may worry about how it affects their child’s social interactions.

Dealing with frustration from traditional learning approaches

Parents often seek alternative educational solutions as traditional methods may not effectively cater to their child’s unique learning style. They may be frustrated with a lack of resources that specifically address ADHD-related challenges.

Coping with emotional rollercoasters

Witnessing their child struggle can take an emotional toll on parents. They may feel a mix of worry, guilt, and frustration, wanting the best for their child but unsure of how to navigate the challenges associated with ADHD.

Searching for support networks

Parents may yearn for a supportive community and resources that understand the intricacies of parenting a child with ADHD. Connecting with others who share similar experiences can be immensely valuable.

Wishing for positive learning experiences

Parents want their children to enjoy the learning process. They seek solutions that not only address academic challenges but also make the learning journey enjoyable for their child.

We Knew There Had to Be a Better Way

At THYNK, we are dedicated to improving mental focus and cognitive skills through innovative technology and engaging video game-based training. Our mission is to empower individuals, particularly children, with the tools they need to enhance their attention, impulse control, and self-regulation.

The THYNK EEG Headset

With the support of the Thynk Better EEG headset, our programs have been validated through eight successful clinical studies involving over 300 users. The headset provides a feed-forward approach, a brain-computer interface (BCI) which reads your child’s brainwaves, understanding the active areas of the brain during play. Heightened attention centers in the brain indicate greater focus.

Testimonials

“My son definitely has grown since starting the program. He is a bit more focused. Still is hyper at times and has had at times moments with peers. Though, not as much before this program. So, there is a sure change in him. I hope he continues it because it has helped him a lot."

“Our daughter gets angry when frustrated but she has been a lot better at regulating anger. She thinks for a moment before hitting. If she does get angry, will apologize, more self-aware. More calm in afternoons, More calm, even though his morning medication has worn off.”

“I have noticed my daughter, with myself at least, difference in her actions. She listens more, more caring and respectful towards me at least. Others still need to work on it. She has been. Bit more emotional lately and less aggressive towards other classmates. Still gets upset when she doesn’t get her way but those moments aren’t as often as before.”

“In the beginning of the training/before the training, my student would have trouble getting up early for sailing in the morning and out the door in time, but recently the mom noted that at first she had trouble getting up and ready for sailing but then she pulled herself together and even had time to make herself eggs before heading out for sailing.”

“He had previously struggled with peer interactions at school, but has more recently demonstrated more resilience in this area. It has led to a noticeable improvement in his overall mood.”
