A child’s brain is developing until their early 20s, and depending on the kind of learner the person is, may continue to develop until death. Poor focus or concentration ADD or ADHD isn’t due to the child’s inability to sit still; because they are just too young; because they have some insurmountable learning problem; or because they just aren’t smart enough. A child’s ability to learn is directly related to how clear their brain pathways are between sensory (intake) and execution (performance).

Over two thirds of our brain is based on sensing or input; one third is based on execution.  Meaning that 75% of our brain is just doing its' thing while maybe 25% (me and you) is actually making conscious choice and decisions.  If we have trouble focusing or concentrating, it is generally because the pathways between the sensory and execution network areas are not clear.  Said another way, our brain isn't able to communicate efficiently with itself.
