For Assumption school children activation program, the company did not charge a single amount. The trainer and coaches were volunteer. newkeynesian If this is a scam, you think these coaches and trainer are naive enough to work for 2 full days without paid? From the graducation ceremony you can feel the love and care from the coaches and trainer. The children felt so blessed that they got the new skills. For once, they have people believe in them. Best way to check it out is to talk the students from APS that have activated and the APS teacher as well.
However, we need to be careful who we send our kids to. I just came to know they are new operators doing the same. Am not sure if they have licence to do it. As for GMA, they have license to do it and they have engaged lawyers to do it. I personally knows the lawyer and that is why I am comfortable with the company.
Like all parents we want to give our children the best but we have to cautious where we send them for the courses. -
The evidence refuting the entire scam over the internet is available for all to see though not exhaustive. Maybe the word scam is too strong a word, how about replacing it with business model if that what makes you feel better?

However, this is a miracle story that GMC is telling to sell and, the unfortunate truth is that there are many parents out there falling for it.

I am indeed very skeptical too…how a 2 days program can "activate" children brain? What did the trainers did?

I realised that this thread stop in Nov 2011.
I was brought here while googling for GMA.
The subject was "Re: Genius Mind Academy" (GMA), but when I read towards the end, the subject heading changed to "Re: Anyone heard of Genius Mind Consultant" (GMC)? I believe GMA and GMC were totally different orgz, or have I misunderstood?
In fact I’d brought my son for the 2 days workshop at Genius Mind Academy (GMA) before i googled onto this thread. After reading some of the posts, (good and bad ones), I would like to share my own experience here and parents here can justify if it’s really a scam.
For us, my son had improved quite a lot after the 2 days activation. On the next day, we blindfolded & tested him with the cards again and he actually got a few wrong cards. I did not tell him the cards are wrong, but instead I praised him for his effort he tried and he believe that he said the correct cards. His confidence grew. Following the next few days, he got all the pictures card correct.
He is more sensitive now, in the sense that he can understand me more. During the 1st week after activation of his mid-brain, we went to buy some grocery and textbooks. As my hb worked that day, we had to walk and carry all the heavy stuffs home. It was very hot. I was so surprised that my son offered to carry the textbooks without me asking him to do so. He could jolly-well carry nothing, or choose other lighter grocery like the bread, but he chose to carry the heavy textbooks. My son has never offer to carry anything before unless we asked him to do so, and he would grumble. However, that day his action made me touched. I was very sure that was one of the improvement after the mid-brain activation. His sensitivity had improved.
Up till today (2nd week), he was able to tell me the word I wrote on a piece of paper, blindfolded, whether English or Chinese. I have not yet try writing "long sentense" asking him to read yet. I do not want to discourage him at this stage in case he can’t read blindfolded yet.
I am not here to sing praise for GMA. I am just sharing my own experience we had with GMA on the positive stuffs. I do see improvement on my son and to me, nothing is more important than seeing positive happening on him.
I am now looking forward to helping him to improve his memory and confident with this "skill" he acquired. -
Hi fujiringo,
In the first place what prompted you to bring your son to attend GMA? Does he have any issue to address or you just want to make him smarter? My child can’t really focus in school work. Does this help to improve attention span? -
Hi Happystar:
My child can’t really focus in school work either before the GMA program.
It really depends on the child. Some are really slower, like mine. My child need more maintenance class because of his "emo" portion that kicks in. He has very low self esteem, I cannot use the hard way on him unlike other child. BASC change one after another because even the teacher also buey tahan.
On a few ocassion after I brought him for "maintenance", he will be able to concentrate on thing he is doing again.
To be able to fully activate this concentration, daily training is a must. Just doing few mins of brain gym, eyeball exercise and breathing exercise.
My boy did not make good use of the program and did not do daily training, the activation is already there, but he cannot concentrate fully on study because he did not train he mind daily. As I mentioned, he needs the "soft-approach". I cannot force him though I keep asking him "then when you want to do?" Of course when I prompt him, he gets frustrated. If he gets frustrated, the training cannot work because the brain is not at its best state. He will not do, throw tantrums, cry, shout rudely back at me…When I am not asking him (or when I am not looking), he will suddenly be doing the mind training exercise. [At least I know from here, he wants to do, but do not want me to "ask" him to do].
If you ask me "does this help to improve attention span?".
My answer is "Yes".
To be frank, GMA program does not make him smarter directly, but indirectly. The program extent his attention span as in better concentration, better in study or in thing he does. Somewhat he could walk toward "positive" than negative. If he can concentrate better, he gets smarter.
IMO, do the GMA program first prior to sending child for more tuition class outside.
I believe your child is not as difficult as mine. Your child should be able to benefit more, at least faster, than mine. -
Thanks fujiringo, my boy really depends on his mood when doing homework. We have to sit beside him to ensure he focus in his work. Sometimes he will throw tantrums or give excuses. I hope this programme makes him calmer and improve his attention span. Do you also get positive feedback from his teachers after attending the programme?

Potential:
I want to believe though my faith is with the current state of science (not 100% fool-proof but good enough for me).I sent both my children for the activation. Both benefited deeply.
My girl from low self confidence to a very confidence girl.
She went when she was P6 and now she is in Sec 1. Her memory has definitely improves that she took shorter time to study and yet score for all her papers. She had never been top few in class from P1 to P5.
Would be great if Genius Mind consultants can explain the scientific principles behind why their method works - references to scientific publications from ScienceDirect, PubMed or Google Scholar is mandatory.
I am keeping an open mind to this. -
