Shichida Right Brain Training - Discussion
-
hi
jst my sharing on right brain
my no1 started SM when she was 11 mths and withdrew her when she was abt 3.5. Since am a SAHM, i do home practice wif her like once a day for abt 30 mins (like flashcard, pretend play, etc)
My gal is 5 nw. So far, we got feedback from her enrichment teachers that she ‘picks up’ fast compared to her peers and she is quite ahead of her peers. She has gd memory too ( i think mst kids do). But ultimately we do not want her to ‘study’ using her memory but study with understanding & concept.
i do feel that right brain more or less does helps alil plus my hardwork .hehehe
Having to say that, most parents expect to see immediate result after attending few lessons or a term. Remember that all kids are diff. -
To share my experience on Shicida, we signed my girl up when she was 2, stuck with it for a year before giving up. Basically my girl got bored with the lessons and refused to sit through it. And we do not have the time to do the follow-ups at home too, as I am a working mum.
On the other hand, my sis-in-law, who sent her daughter to Shicida too, is still doing it, her girl now 7 yrs old! Apparently her girl enjoys it, and from what I see, she is definitely much more intelligent than my girl (they are 7 months apart in age). She can do spelling, mathematics much better. I am not sure whether that is due to Shichida or other enrichment classes she is taking or maybe it’s just her genes … -

If your sister-in-law is a SAHM, it's more likely because of the daily effort put in by the parents, and not just because of the weekly enrichment sessions. -

No, she is also a full-time working mum just like me.. -
I thiink brain training classes like shichida is not likely to have much effect if we depend on the weekly lesson. Perhaps your sister in law did practise with the daughter at home?
Personally, I find there is a coorelation between whether I practise with my kid at home and whether he pays attention to the activities. Activities I practise with him at home like guessing games, flash cards he seems to enjoy. But things that I am lazy to do like work sheets and blocks he will get quite restless. - so sometimes when I become very lazy and did not do any activities with him at all at home, I get "reminded" when he becomes more restless. -

I dont know... but she is a full-time working mum, with 2 other school-going kids, cant imagine how she squeeze out the time to do it, if she does. -

I totally agreed with that, when we first started our son on Shichida, we seldom do home practice with him, and I don't see alot of progress. It is only after like 1 year plus into the program that we become more consistent in doing home practice. And it was only then that we saw improvement and some effectiveness in the program.I thiink brain training classes like shichida is not likely to have much effect if we depend on the weekly lesson.

Of course, there are also factors where the kid need to have some time to get accustom to those techniques taught before showing results. -
Hi Parents,
I have just joined the SM class this July 08 with my 19 months gal.
My in laws are not good in English, so we are planning to have my in laws to have Home practice during the day time with Mardarin while I will do it in English @ nite. We will be using the same set of Flash Cards and other materials.
Do anyone have similar experience to share? Will it cause confusion for the child? -

During the parent session that I attended conducted by Mrs Khoo, I was told that the important thing about flash card is not the speech, but the flashing of the images to tune the child brain so that they are accustom to looking at images and information at high speed.Hi Parents,

So having your in laws just flashing out the card is ok as long as it is fast, preferably 0.4 sec per piece. Frankly, I don't know how to time that :lol: That's what Mrs Khoo said. -
hmmm phantom have you done it in 0.4 secs? I tried on the computer but then I cannot read out the numbers of the dots fast enough :oops:
