Introduction

Our mind operates in the realm of two brain hemispheres, the analytical left and the creative right hemisphere.

The left hemisphere is described as analytical because it operates in linear and sequential pattern by moving from one point to another in a step-by-step manner. It is most efficient in processing verbal information (language).

The right hemisphere is the creative section where it seeks and constructs patterns and recognises relationship between separate parts. It does not move linearly but processes simultaneously. It is most efficient at visual and spatial processing.

In order to mould a child effectively, perhaps parents need to know the following stages of brain development:

Contrary to common misconception, a child should learn in a relaxed and happy environment instead of ‘military’ learning style where the coursework is rigid and dull. Meanwhile discipline is important but it is not the most effective way to bring out the inborn potential of a child. It is important to lay a firm groundwork for a child during pre-school and all the way to secondary education. To guide them to the right path in early stages is crucial because in order to correct them later, it will be more difficult and enormous effort is needed.

BC believes that every child can excel in life without having to succumb to stress and a mountain-load of homework.

Common challenges faced by parents today…

	Your child is stressed out at school…
	Your child is not enthusiastic…
	Poor memory and concentration…
	Poor social skills and lack of confidence…
	Confused and not knowing where their inborn talent lies…

While some of these problems are self inflicted, it is also caused by the rigid education system and high social expectation. 

The ultimate aim of BCL is to mould a child with positive mind to conquer fear and to make learning fun.  The ideal learning environment should not be stressful but stimulating, exciting and far away from the stress (photos) above.

GOALS & OBJECTIVES

The purpose of BCL is not to teach knowledge but to create a well-balanced child with vast abilities, creativity and to cultivate the habit to use their brain’s potential to achieve:

The chart below shows the average improvement of a student after attending BCL’s classes for a year.

“The purpose of education in the future will not be to create people with heads crammed full of knowledge, but to rear children who know how to efficiently use the whole brain.  Rearing children with enormous ability, rich creativity and the capability to make use of a high proportion of their brains should be the goal of child rearing.”
Professor M Shichida (Japan)

What is balanced-brain Learning method?

Left Brain People

Guided by the left brain, theories suggest that left-brain people respond in sequential, logical ways and this group of people are strong in math and science, and can answer questions quickly.

 

“Most people in modern world operate as left-brain people due to the education system in school which focus on left brain training…”

Right Brain People

On the contrary,right-brain people are dreamers who are led by intuition and creativity.  Right brainers think deeply and may have high level of intelligence.  Right brainers make great students of arts and social science.  Besides being more spontaneous than the conservative left-brainers, right brainers are intuitive and prefer to follow their own gut feelings when it comes to decision making.

Mid Brained or Balanced-Brain People???

Having to know the characteristic of both hemispheres, one may raise questions such as “Can a person possess the qualities from both hemispheres and operates both effectively instead of being one-hemisphere oriented?”  At BCL, the answer is “Yes”.

           
Diagram 2.1            

“Scientists have discovered an important mid zone in human’s brain which is the communication platform of both brain’s hemisphere.  However this zone is in its hibernation state in most people…”

 

This mid-zone is a vital link that serves as a ‘bridge’ to connect the left and right hemispheres.  Once it is ‘awaken from its hibernation’ hence information will exchange more efficiently in between both hemispheres.

 

Unlike many children, students of BCL possess qualities from either hemisphere because they benefit from analytical abilities from the left and creativity from the right hemisphere

 

 

 

THE BENEFITS OF BRAIN-CHILD LEARNING

BC is a mind development programme targeted at children between 6 to 15 years of age.  It is designed to equip your child with lifelong skills and the right mindset toward learning.

Every child is unique and every child will excel in different field.  Therefore, the 3-way approach is made simple for parents to thoroughly understand the process of:

 

Conducted at Mental Fitness Centre, children will go through the followings:

STEP 1 (DISCOVER Stage)

Prior to attending any classes, parents will know the innate ability of their child through our state-of-the-art myDNA Dermatoglyphics (fingerprints) technology.

With 95% accuracy, this report will reveal the actual talent and potential of the child.

Once parents are given this insight into their child, hence they can adopt a more effective approach in grooming their child.

 

STEP 2 (UNLEASH Stage)

Dubbed as the ‘key to start the engine’, this 2-Day Workshop is the pre-requisite to all classes.

1. It is designed to awaken the hibernating brain of a child (to stimulate the thinking pattern and power of visualisation)

1. It activates the communication platform between the left and right brain (more effective in exchanging information between both brain hemisphere)

 

STEP 3 (POLISH Stage) Step 3 consists of many unique modules (24 months) to equip a child with vital foundation in areas of: Memory Concentration Analytical Skills Confidence Building Creative Learning Abilities Attitude & Communication Skills Reading & Comprehension Skills

Once a child’s brain is awakened from hibernation, hence they will be able to grasp any learning method easily and efficiently.

“… the nerve cells of the brain, which are used to function, become sensitive suddenly.  Swift information flow stimulates the nerve cells connected to the visual and auditory centres in the brain and brings about chain reactions between each and every nerve cell, one after another.  This process activates the entire brain which then can attain its full potential”.

Professor C. Matthews (USA)

OTHER UNIQUE FEATURES OF Brain-Child LEARNING

Perhaps the most extraordinary skill of all in BCL is the ability to do Mental Reading.

Upon the completion of a 2-day workshop, students will acquire this phenomenal ability where they can ‘read’ or ‘see’ with their eyes shut.  It is one of the signs that indicate the activation of a hibernating brain.

Students will usually tie a piece of cloth around (as shown below) in order to reduce distraction as shown below.

 

        

This skill may sound supernatural (to read with their mind, not eyes!!!), but it is merely a form of innate ability that a child possess and a form of mental exercise.  When this inborn ability is unveiled, practise is necessary and the more they practise, the stronger their brain will be.

“I believe that to raise children who will be capable of soaring up into the 21st century, it is necessary for us to wake up to the fact that unknown and unexplainable abilities do exist.  It is necessary to put new methods of education into practice that will develop these special abilities.”

Professor M Shichida (Japan)

BCL Workshop and Testimonials

This workshop is all about fun, participation, team work and stimulating games.  Every student is given the chance to answer questions, to express themselves and to share opinions. 

Many students return to the same workshop because they enjoy the unconventional teaching method and the opportunity to mingle and make friends too.

 

Hailey Smith-Williams, mother of Sarah Williams (United Kingdom),
9 years old

“My daughter had difficulties in doing home revision due to poor concentration.  After attending BCL, her memory improved and she can cope with more tasks.  BCL has built a good foundation for Sarah and I encourage all parents to let your child to attend this amazing workshop.  By the way, I am also very impressed with BCL’s Mental Reading skill”

 

 

Nicole Yeo (Malaysia), 14 years old

“I was weak in English.  It was a difficult language to master.  Surprisingly BCL helped me to regain my confidence and to conquer my fear.  English is much easier now and I can express myself easily.  My vocabulary has improved and I am more creative too!”

 

James Lewinsky, father of Daniel Lewinsky (Singapore), 7 years old

“Daniel is shy and he dislikes to socialise.  After 2 months of practising Mental Reading, I realised that he became more optimistic in general.  He express himself more openly and definitely more confident.  I also witness his improvement in language (Daniel attends Mandarin class).  Brain-Child Learning is truly remarkable”

 

 
Who benefits with using brain exercises? Everyone. For students and educators they can experience increased levels of focus, organization, communication, self-confidence and positive attitude towards learning and then the added bonus of 20 to 50% higher test scores.
Dr. Paul E. Dennison (USA)
