Método Dr Melillo (Entreno para padres y madres)

Learning difficulties, reading problems, lack of attention, behavioural problems, lack of emotional regulation, motor tics and even allergies or bedwetting in children over 5 years old. These are some examples of the result of an unbalanced brain .

You yourself can help your child to train their brain, improving their difficulties with reading, attention or to better manage their emotions and behaviour.

Functional Neurology understands that the brain not only sends information to the body but also receives information and stimulation from the body and the senses. If we perform movements and stimulate the senses we can train the brain and this is precisely what the exercises will do.

Success is achieved only if the exercises are performed repeatedly, so the most effective way to do them is to perform the exercises at home as part of your daily routine.

What does this programme consist of?

It is a programme designed to teach and guide mothers, fathers and caregivers on how to train their child's brain at home, using the rhythm of everyday life, and with the information they obtain, parents will be able to create their own exercises. In the course we will guide you on why, how and when to do the exercises that stimulate your child's brain.

The module consists of 8 weekly sessions of 2 hours. It will be done entirely online. 

We have a version for every difficulty:

  • TEA Edition 
  • Dyslexia and learning difficulties edition 
  • ADHD Edition
  • Emotional management edition 

Each child is unique and therefore each one will have his or her own exercises. In the course we will guide you step by step on why, how and when to do the exercises that stimulate your child's brain.

You will learn to recognise, interpret and obtain information from their posture, movement patterns and behaviour and relate it to areas of the brain that are not functioning optimally at that moment. With this information you will know what exercises you can do and what parenting strategies you can implement to help your children become their best version. In addition, the information obtained is also important to help you help yourself. You can train yourself to overcome your blocks, fears, improve your concentration and understand yourself better, and consequently manage your frustrations better. Our children are the mirror of what happens to us, the parents.

Understanding how the brain works in general will not only advance your child, but you and your whole family.

Corien Dorotea

As a speech therapist I was always looking for the why of communication disorders. I learned to look at different disorders through the eyes of different disciplines. The search led to functional neurology, which for me is an approach that best explains what happens when there are learning, behavioural and emotional difficulties. Improvement is achieved by a more holistic approach. That is exactly why I created Tot Teràpia.

Session 1: 

  • Discover the basics of brain areas and their functions.
  • You will learn about the different ways neurons are connected. 
  • You will know the different neural systems responsible for our behaviour. 

Session 2: 

  • In this session we will discuss the brain areas and their circuits that do not function optimally in children with ASD.

Session 3:

  • We will explain how the exercises stimulate the brain. 
  • What is brain plasticity and how can we . What is learning?

Session 4:  

  • Continuation of exercises that stimulate the brain. 
  • Incorporate the exercises into daily life

Session 5: 

  • Incorporating the exercises into everyday life 
  • Top-down and bottom-up boarding. 
  • Incorporate top-down exercises. 

Session 6: 

  • Endocrine and digestive system.
  • Food intolerances
  • The effect of our diet on our behaviour.

Session 7

  • The influence of the environment, such as our parenting style, influences the brain.
  • The autonomic nervous system. 

Session 8 

  • We integrate everything. 
  • Methods that exist and work, and your plan for your child.  

Harvard Medical School's psychiatric department found that exercises that stimulate a particular hemisphere and attempt to integrate the hemispheres are beneficial for children with ADHD. These exercises protect the brain from future illnesses and are not only a great investment in the present but also predispose your child to have a more productive and healthy brain for life in the future.

Brain training in a family context has a cost of 65€ per couple (couple for one child) To encourage 2 people to work with the child.

El curso total es de 520€ que deben abonarse para reservar tu plaza.

All sessions will be held online.

Superparents

Parenting is a wonderful experience, but sometimes it takes a superhuman or superheroic effort.

This course, aimed at parents of children and young people, is designed by the psychologists and the founder of the centre and is an online version of an existing face-to-face course with proven success.

Each of the episodes in which it is divided, will serve as a guide to, step by step, help you create the family you want to have, without judging, as we know that we all struggle and try to do the best for our children.

We have decided to share this valuable content after finding that children's behaviour improves considerably when the work is carried out together with parents.

Some of the topics we will deal with are: parenting styles, limits, emotional communication and conflict management. We will talk about the importance of knowing oneself and knowing our children's needs and differentiating them from our own.

We will discover how to build a healthy and secure bond that will help us to better manage difficult situations, as well as to fully enjoy and live the wonderful, but sometimes exasperating, experience of being parents.
