A Brighter Path Forward for Children with ADHD

Help your child build real-world focus and self-regulation skills through playful, neurofeedback-inspired training at home

Understanding ADHD: More Than Just "Misbehaving"

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is not a behavior problem, it's a difference in how the brain develops and functions. Children with ADHD often have unique strengths like creativity and energy, but may struggle with:

  • Sustaining attention on tasks or activities
  • Containing impulses and thinking before acting
  • Regulating activity levels to match the situation
  • Managing frustration and emotional responses

These challenges aren't about effort or willingness. They’re linked to executive functions in the brain that support self-control and self-regulation. Our approach focuses on helping children practice and strengthen these skills through engaging, positive training.

How Our Neurofeedback Approach Supports Your Child

Traditional approaches often focus on managing ADHD symptoms from the outside. BrainBit.kids takes a different route helping children learn to self-regulate from the inside out.

The Science Behind It:

Research shows that children with ADHD often have different patterns of brain activity. Our system uses safe, non-invasive sensors to:

  • Monitor brain activity (EEG) and muscle tension (EMG)
  • Provide real-time feedback through engaging games
  • Help children discover how to find calmer, more focused states naturally

Think of it as a "mirror for the mind" giving children immediate, positive reinforcement when they find their optimal state for focus and calm.

Our Training Protocols: Personalized Brain Training

Every child is unique, so their training should be too. BrainBit.kids uses research-based
neurofeedback training approaches that adapt to your child’s needs and progress over time

TBR (Theta/Beta Ratio) Training

Best for:

Starting the brain training journey

What it does:

Helps balance brainwave patterns associated with daydreaming (theta) and active thinking (beta)

Goal:

Building foundational focus skills

Alpha2 Training
 

Best for:

Intermediate training after building basic skills

What it does:

Targets specific alpha frequencies linked to calm, alert focus

Research indicates:

This type of training can be helpful in supporting attention and self-regulation

Alpha2/Alpha1 Training
 

Best for:

Advanced focus development

What it does:

Works with multiple alpha frequencies to support both attention and mental clarity

Research indicates:

This combined approach shows promising results in comprehensive studies of attention and emotional regulation

Personalization Matters:

Every child begins with a simple calibration to establish their unique starting point, so the training meets them where they are.

Expected Outcomes & Research Foundation

What Families Notice

Based on feedback from parents and educators using our approach, children typically show improvements in:

  • Increased ability to stay with challenging tasks
  • Better recognition of when they're becoming frustrated or distracted
  • Improved emotional regulation and frustration tolerance
  • Stronger self-awareness of their focus states
  • More consistent follow-through on instructions and routines

Our Research Foundation:

BrainBit.kids is built on serious scientific research, including the work of Professor Olga Bazanova and other neuroscientists. Key findings from the research underlying our approach show:

  • Significant improvements in attention and concentration measures
  • Better emotional regulation and impulse control
  • Enhanced cognitive performance on standardized tasks
  • Positive changes in brain activity patterns associated with focus

Important:

Individual results may vary, and consistent practice is important for developing skills. Most children complete a course of 20 sessions (16 minutes each, 3-4 times per week) to build lasting skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. BrainBit.kids is not a replacement for medication, therapy or other treatments recommended by your child’s clinician. It is a complementary training tool that can help children practice focus, calm and self-awareness skills. Any changes to treatment should only be made in consultation with your healthcare provider.
BrainBit.kids is designed to support focus and self-regulation skills that are relevant across ADHD presentations. Children who struggle with inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity or emotional regulation may all benefit from training, though the way progress shows up in everyday life can look different from child to child.
Many children with ADHD have co-occurring challenges. BrainBit.kids focuses on building general skills such as noticing tension, returning to calm and sustaining focus. These skills can be helpful for a wide range of profiles, but the system has not been clinically tested for every diagnosis. If your child has multiple diagnoses or complex needs, we recommend discussing BrainBit.kids with their clinician before starting.
    Families and educators often report that, with consistent use, children may:
  • Find it easier to get started on tasks
  • Recognize when they are getting overstimulated or frustrated
  • Recover from emotional outbursts more quickly
  • Stay with activities a bit longer before drifting off
  • Show more awareness of their own “focus state”
These changes usually happen gradually and depend on regular practice and support in applying the skills to daily life.
Frustration is actually a valuable part of the learning process. The system is designed to respond gently when focus drops or tension rises, prompting the child to pause, breathe and re-center. We encourage parents and professionals to frame this as “your brain practicing” rather than “failing the game,” and to celebrate small improvements over time.
Yes, missing an occasional session is not a problem. What matters is the overall pattern: aiming for 3–4 sessions per week over several weeks. If you fall out of routine, simply restart and rebuild the habit. You can also work with a coach or specialist to integrate BrainBit.kids into your child’s broader support plan.
