How QT Works
for children with or without problems (ADHD)
The child is encouraged to "go into" (mentally) one of the six especially designed pictures provided. Here he find the comfort, peace, and the security to relax and release stress. The picture stimulates his imagination as his developing power to envision continuously re-creates the environment of his personal picture to satisfy his needs of the moment. This potential is endless as it is always current in the ensuing years of development.
Just before, during, and after his daily sojourn into his world of his own making, the candidate is completely open to suggestion. Training information can then be installed at this season of the day providing the new learning material is based on, or related to, any of the information found in the stories in the books also provided. New instruction that is alien to the provided reading material will fall on deaf ears. These many especially written books provide ample coverage of the broad spectrum of life's needs. A regular schedule of reading to the child is a vital part of this program.
Intelligent suggestions by the parents or teachers will always find fertile environment for permenet growth. Even the most difficult of kids can be reached through this simple method of relating instruction to the book stories while the child is secure in his own little world of his own making. This program, in substituted form, works very well now, even as it did centuries before in the way of the Indians. We have never found the child who could not be reached, though there must be one out there somewhere who will not respond.
