27 Years Of Experience
Whatever I have written here is the result of my 27 years of independent research, clinical experience and observation with children of all age group. I had also organized an interactive session with a group of about 30 children, age ranging from 13-20 years, once a week for 12 weeks.
The objective was to learn more closely about adolescence problems. Summary of that program was, none of the teens were happy with their parents and the life facilities. They wanted to achieve something in life with a poor clarity about that something . Following is a guideline to learn about your child and how to handle their age related issues

How to Identify that Your Child is Carrying a Hyperactive mind?
Hyperactive mental syndrome is a state of body which develops as a result of multiple mineral imbalances, especially calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc. Other important causative factor is that their blood oxygenation level is poor.
In order to compensate for these deficiencies their mind is set in a race mode to get extra supply of nutrients and oxygen, but simultaneously their thought process is hyper-activated and mind starts wandering beyond the capacity of that teen.
A child with hyperactive mind is always unhappy with the present life, lives in future or in the fantasy world and is restless physically. There are certain signs and symptoms which you can observe in a teen with a hyper-active mind.

Most Unhealthy People
Unfortunately the most unhealthy people I see in my practice are the youngsters.They are holistically unhealthy. 90% are suffering from subconscious depressions or a hyperactive mind syndrome. This syndrome leads to disturb relationships, behavioral disorders, lack of trust in themselves, selfishness, fatigue and poor performance at home, college and work.
Youngster's Problems
These youngsters are suffering from weight gain-weight loss syndrome, high cholesterol, high fasting sugar, disturb hormones, poor reproductive health, bad cardiac health and speedy mental aging. In order to live a balanced and successful life one has to live through an individual, collective and universal conscious. Collective conscious makes you think about the betterment of family, society and country.
You can not enter into two higher beings with a physical body which is not nature aligned. The most fearful element which I find is, that their lifespan is shortening. Remember holistically unhealthy person is of no use for the country and is easily captured by evil forces. These forces distort their believes and faith and make them fearful and insecure.
Only then these youngster indulge themselves into drugs, drinks and now high-tech gadget. My request to all the youngsters is please try to slow down, focus on your lifestyle especially dietary habits and try to focus on 6-8hours of night sleep.Only then you can excel in your respective fields.
Today I saw a girl of 13years weighing 102kg and having complaints of hormonal imbalance, piles, anemia, chronic headache, mild hypertension, sleep disorder, frequent nasal bleeding and a hyper-active mind.
