Can Families and Kids Use NeurOptimal®? Yes!

Updated: Sep 18

As the school year kicks off and the holidays approach, stress levels can rise for both kids and parents. Between homework, extracurricular activities, and holiday preparations, it’s easy for families to feel overwhelmed. This is where NeurOptimal® neurofeedback comes in—a brain training program that helps the whole family improve mental resilience and navigate life’s daily challenges with ease.


NeurOptimal® works by monitoring the brain’s electrical activity and providing real-time feedback, encouraging the brain to regulate itself naturally. This 33-minute program is non-invasive, easy to use, and designed to help the central nervous system (CNS) move away from patterns of stress, mental fatigue, and discomfort. The best part? NeurOptimal® is safe for everyone—kids, parents, and even grandparents!



Why NeurOptimal® is Great for Families

Families today face a range of stressors, from school pressures to the hectic holiday season. Children, in particular, may struggle with focus, performance under stress, or managing negative self-talk. NeurOptimal® can help with these issues by encouraging the brain to become more flexible and efficient in its response to everyday challenges.

Imagine a common scenario: a child is struggling with homework, feeling overwhelmed, and expressing frustration, while a parent becomes equally frustrated, demanding that the work get done. In this moment, both parent and child are stuck in a cycle of stress. NeurOptimal® helps break that cycle by allowing the brain to recognize when it’s stuck in these patterns and learn how to move away from them.


How NeurOptimal® Can Benefit Kids

Children today are facing more stress than ever before—whether it’s keeping up with schoolwork, managing social pressures or struggling to focus. NeurOptimal® provides a way for the brain to build resilience and adaptability, regardless of a child’s specific challenges.


For kids who struggle with homework or feel overwhelmed, NeurOptimal® can improve focus, boost confidence, and help them process tasks more efficiently. By gently training the CNS, the program helps children move away from negative thinking patterns, improving how they approach challenges like completing assignments or performing under pressure.


Whether your child is facing a specific learning disability or simply needs support in handling everyday stress, NeurOptimal® trains the brain to be more flexible and adaptive. It helps kids navigate everything from focusing on homework to managing emotions—leading to better performance and a healthier internal dialogue.


How to Use NeurOptimal® with Your Family

One of the biggest advantages of NeurOptimal® is that it’s incredibly easy to incorporate into your family’s routine. The sessions can be done while your child is working on homework, reading a book, or even relaxing with a movie or music. For parents, it’s a way to de-stress after a long day, and for children, it becomes a tool to improve focus, confidence, and emotional balance.


Unlike other therapies, NeurOptimal® doesn’t require active participation, which makes it accessible for kids who may struggle to sit still or follow complex instructions. Simply put, it’s a low-pressure way to improve brain function for every member of the family, no matter their age or challenges.


Tracking the Changes

With NeurOptimal®, it’s important not to expect immediate results after the first session. Every person’s experience is different—some may notice improvements after just one session, while others may take a few sessions to see noticeable shifts. These changes are often gradual and subtle, but over time, many families report better focus, smoother emotional regulation, and an overall sense of well-being.


Parents may notice that their child completes homework faster, handles social situations with more confidence, or experiences fewer emotional outbursts. Similarly, parents using NeurOptimal® may find themselves feeling less stressed and more patient, especially during hectic times like the holidays.


As the brain becomes more efficient in handling daily stress, families will likely see improvements in productivity, emotional balance, and overall mental health. The key is to remain patient and open to the process—NeurOptimal® helps the brain do what it does best: regulate itself.


Ready to Get Started?

NeurOptimal® is suitable for people of all ages and is designed to help the brain function at its best, regardless of any external pressures or diagnoses. Whether you’re looking to help your child improve their focus or simply want to prepare your family for the upcoming school year and holiday season, NeurOptimal® offers a simple and effective way to train the brain for resilience and adaptability.
