Hone your child's critical skills with right-brain education

Are you worried about whether your child is acquiring enough knowledge? Are they achieving learning milestones as per their age? Or are they lagging behind other kids? How can you get your child to unlock their full potential?

These are just some of the several questions that run through the mind of every parent when it comes to their child’s physical and mental development. Research has shown that it helps to start early if you want to sharpen and hone young brains to accept and process information efficiently.

Right-brain education

One effective way parents can boost their children’s brain power is by exploring right-brain education. Experts agree that from birth till the age of 6, the right side, or the right hemisphere of the brain operates at a higher level compared with the left side, or the left hemisphere of the brain.

This period from birth till the age of 6 is critical for the development and growth of a child’s right brain. So what parents can do is start exposing their young ones to high-quality stimuli early on. This will enable their children to add essential information to their subconscious minds to be utilized later. The right side of the brain is what enables major functions such as attention retention, memory, the ability to reason, visual-spatial skills, and problem-solving in children.

If your child’s right brain is left untrained throughout this time or is not paid much attention to, the high rate of learning will slow down considerably, and your child’s inherent right-brain talents, in most cases, may stay dormant beyond the age of 6. This holds true, especially after your child begins formal schooling and the other hemisphere—the left one—starts to develop and the development accelerates.

Nobel Laureate Roger Sperry carried out split-brain experiments in the 1960s, and his studies proved that the left and right hemispheres are specialized in different tasks. The left side of the brain is focused on analytical and verbal tasks, while the right side gives emotional context to language, controls space perception tasks, and helps figure out the melody in music.

A trained right brain develops a child’s thinking, observation, and analytical skills more effectively, which in turn help develop abilities such as photographic memory, rapid reading, and musical talent. A well-functioning right brain allows a child to absorb knowledge more rapidly by improving their focus and attention span, thereby boosting the child’s academic prowess.

Benefits of right-brain education that will be visible in children from a young age:

Sharp memory
The ability to read
A marked improvement in concentration
Better creativity and analytical skills

Keeping all these factors in mind, Genius Child UK Ltd’s right-brain education program aims to stimulate the right side of the brain. Designed for children in the age group of 1 to 6 years, this innovative program enables children to become independent thinkers and learners for life.

Children who had Right-Brain Education Training at the right age will be able to read at an early stage—for example, such children can read three-letter words at the age of 2.

Right-Brain Education: Genius Child UK Ltd’s Program

The program has been designed in a way that each session lasts for 30–40 minutes for children aged 1 to 6 years. For children aged 4 and above, the last 10 minutes of each session will include live interactive activities on the portal.

Linking Memory: The linking memory stories have been specifically designed to increase the memory capacity of children. These stories will encourage children to think out of the box and remember the story.

Flashcards: During this session, children will be introduced to a variety of flashcards pertaining to math, phonics, skip counting, reptiles, garden equipment, etc. These cards are designed to stimulate the right brain. The cards help with quick image recognition and image analysis, thereby improving children’s memory.

Mandala: In this interactive activity, children are shown a Mandala card for a few seconds. Next, they have to choose the correct Mandala card from a given set of cards. This activity helps improve observation skills and concentration and is a great exercise to encourage memory retention and speed reading.

Eye Training: Our eye-training classes are designed to increase children’s learning skills. This training will improve eye movement in various directions with concentration. This activity also helps with speed reading.

Philosophy: Philosophy is a way of thinking that will help children question ideas and the meaning of words. When thinking philosophically, children will soon realize that not everyone is thinking or understanding ideas in the same way. As a result, the children will end up asking more questions than they started with, to help check what people are thinking so children can understand each other better.

Critical Thinking: Critical thinking is the key skill that children will learn in their early years. During this session, they will learn how to better express their thoughts, ideas, and beliefs.
