The DaVinci Method




Wow, I've been learning a lot about what an author, Garret LoPorto, calls the DaVinci Temperament. It has amazing insight into what most people call ADD, ADHD & Bipolar. Most children that have the DaVinci temperament are pegged as ADD. Austin was thought of as ADD when he was a kid and when he first told me that (when we were dating) I thought it was crazy because he seemed like a smart guy and he had no problem concentrating.

But as a kid he wasn't manageable. He was always bouncing off walls and so he was pegged as ADD and drugged with Ritalin (which changes your brainwaves to manageable beta-waves instead of Alpha). I think India also is a DaVinci (it's a genetic thing that can be passed to your kids, it's a polymorphism of a gene that supports risk taking, increased brainwave activity, and genius level problem solving and creativity!) To sum it up I would say that DiVinci's are the ones that change the world we live in. Like Bill Gates, Thomas Edison, Leonardo DaVinci, Oprah Winfrey, Thomas Jefferson, Steven Spielberg, Richard Branson (founder of Virgin Records), Steve Jobs (founder of Apple and Pixar), Conan O'Brian, Michael Jordan, Elvis Presley, Donald Trump, George Lucas, Salvador Dali, Robin Williams and Einstien. They usually aren't understood by the masses and sometimes they are thought of as having a disorder because they don't fit in and they take big risks. Some DaVincis don't know how to harness their abilities or they are trying to fit into society and they can't, it goes against their very soul. So I would suggest to anyone who has a kid who is "ADD" look more into the DaVinci method and find out how to help your kid blossom instead of trying to make them fit in. Oh, and if you have time go here and see the 3 minute movie http://www.areyouadavinci.com/
