All About Right Brain Training
-
Hi, I have just spoken to a mummy who used to send her son to Shichida, the child now do quite ok in school, among the top 100. The results is good, but it appears to me that it is far from the outrageous results that Shichida claims.
Since the program is already almost 40 years, and already in Sg for 10++ years, I was wondering if there is any results to proof that the methods work? I have been searching around google but no luck.
Anyone with the answers? -

Yes I also like to know as some of those children who attend 8-10 years ago would have grown up. Wonder what is their experience and by now should see effect in full.Hi, I have just spoken to a mummy who used to send her son to Shichida, the child now do quite ok in school, among the top 100.

What is your definition of ‘effects in full’?
No offence, just curious… -

What I meant was those who had gone through many years of training might now be able to do what was shown in the video that they showed us. The video all in Japanese available on youtube. I wonder if any Singaporean children can do what was shown on those videos.Those done by the Jap Kids. -

I'm curiously about the result as well.

If anyone have other data from other right brain training, pls share it as well.. We are now bombarded with too much false claims and outrageous marketing

I agree. Very confusing. -
Hi all,
Just to share my experience, my girl( 41 months old) has been with SM since she turned 18 months old. she is doing, i din see any outstanding memory or deliverables yet… but one thing i feel that i get from SM, the parent-child bonding while learning together when do homepractise(flash cards/linking memory/home sheet) tt’s when u and ur child spend time to do the work together, it takes practises for our toddler to get used to the routine. and now she can memorise 50 cards(in LM) after 3 hearing from the CD. it’s fantastic. I listen together with her, but i cant remember all names, but she can, she can remember set 1c, 2C at the same time, tt’s 100 cards already and with all the names she remembers, it’s new vocab, they give big words like diploducus(dinasaurse name)… so, all in all, i can say, after about 2 years plus in SM, my girls is good in picking things she see/hear, wide vocabulary and recital (they are asked to recite new poems on monthly basis) and also maths( via listening) which when i ask her 6+1 is? she will immediately tell me 7. all by songs/listening… so it;s easier to teach …
i guess the method somehow quite effective. and im a full time working mother, i only do flash cards with her when she is 2to 3. then now, i do LM/home sheet only. -
Personally, I think if you have not tested any of the brain-training classes for a period of time, it will be difficult for you to really appreciate what these programs can do, cos every child is different. They reap different results.
I have to admit my kids aren’t geniuses and still aren’t after the training. However, the programs have certainly helped them in their learning in amazing ways.
My son who had been through the program, and with our months of diligent practice in the initial years (fr age of 3), have learnt the ‘art of photographic memory’. The results are showing even now that he is in Primary school.
He takes very little time learning spelling and ting xie since kindergarten. I’ve never actually tracked the time, but it is definitely a breeze ie. no tempers flaring and patience wearing thin. It is very easy sometimes to spend hours on these for kids because of lack of focus and perhaps wrong methods. But using photographic memory, he can focus on the words and each time that word is read, the image of it appears in his mind and he is able to put it down on paper without even using phonics. (this is not to say phonics isn’t important).
It also helps in his Chinese reading. It can sometimes take a child his age hours to read a chinese book due to the difficult words. However, if you get him to put the book away and try to remember what he has read on the 2nd sentence of the 2nd page, he can read them out to you as if the words are already there in front of him.
It is a habit of learning that they learn, and as adults when we learn this method with them, we can remind them to use them to their benefits. As we monitor the kids’ homework and learning, we sometimes forget using the right brain because we weren’t trained using it since young. But if we do remember that there is a faster and easier way of learning, and even more effective, we can appreciate how we do not have to dread hours sitting with them, learning the same thing over and over again, sometimes still not achieving much.
If any parents wishes to start their kids on right-brain training - and can afford it, please start them young because learning methods develop into habits, and it is more difficult to change/learn when they are older.
Hope this helps… -
Hi Concern2,
i totally agree with you. I will continue with SM until she starts primary school,. and soon, i will start SM with my boy who just turn one this week.
