Dr. Jan Bedell • 5 March 2022

Dr. Jan Bedell welcomes a friend and pastor, Alan Bias, to introduce our audience to his area of expertise, He's been studying how to overcome the noise of this busy world, and still have the ability to hear God in ones everyday life. He's an answer to many of our prayers with this option he's given through his new book.

 

Pastor Alan describes the condition many of us succumb to and he calls it the "Bid Gray Swirl". He shows how the distractions and busyness of our everyday lives can lead us away from the relationship with God , as well as losing site of the preciousness and importance of our families.  Our activities often depletes our ability to be available to experience the true fullness of life.  Pastor Alan understands the needs of a child who is gifted or distracted due to the need to learn in special ways.  He knows what it's like to have the label of Dyslexia, and all the many issues that arise during the years in school trying so hard, and often unable to hit the mark.  Life with a learning label is a complicated life academically, socially, and even, in many cases, within the family.

 

Pastor Alan demonstrates how many of us slip into the "Big Gray Swirl" - a life of busyness and lacking the ability to quiet oneself  or even ones child and listen to God.  God is available everyday and his holy spirit is available to help guide our paths, and decisions... if only we had the awareness of his presence in our lives. Pastor Bias has created a book called, "Walking With God in a World Gone Busy."  Life doesn't have to be a blur, but many of us don't even have the realization of what we're missing!  This book helps us find our balance, our rhythm of grace and peace with our spiritual guide in every way - everyday! Discover the advantages of having a wholesome,  balanced life through Pastor Bias' book.  Click this link to add this heart-warming book that will help you avoid the "Big Gray Swirl!"

HOW THE NEURO-DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH CAN IMPROVE LEARNING ABILITIES Little Giant Steps, a NeuroDevelopmental Consulting Group has been helping families for over twenty years to improve the learning abilities of children, teens, and adults. We use an approach that changes the functional abilities in the brain. It may sound like rocket science, but it is actually a natural developmental process every human being goes through. Unfortunately, many of our children miss these vital steps, however, through the plasticity of the brain, can be picked up by following specific programs, many are like games, that increase learning abilities. The NeuroDevelopmental Approach is a practice of stimulating the brain with specific activities that will bring about an increase in neuro-pathways, resulting in better neuro-efficiency. With better neuro-efficiency one can receive, process, store and retrieve information more easily resulting in improved organization, short term memory, long term memory, coordination and academic abilities. If an individual has certain number of symptoms that are observed for at least six months, they typically receive a label. In our experience, help for a loved one with learning challenges is much more beneficial than a label. We work with the root causes of learning difficulties as opposed to teaching coping and compensating skills or medicating. Whether you or your child has been labeled, or is having difficulties with tasks such as handwriting or math proficiency, the NeuroDevelopmental approach offers the solution many have searched for.
