What is Right Brain Training for Children?

I have not attended any right brain training classes when I was a child. In fact, I have never heard of it until I had my first child.

While looking for good enrichment classes for my first born, I chanced upon Heguru Education Centre( www.HeguruEducation.com.sg) as it is very popular and widely-known amongst parents.

It was then that I found out about right brain training after attending a parents’ information session conducted by the founder Mr Kuah Eng Liang.

That sharing session blew me away. I signed up and couldn’t wait to start on my child on Heguru classes.

So what exactly is “right brain training” for children? Let me share more.

Start Early, Start Right You have probably heard or read about left or right-brained dominance, where each side of the brain controls different types of thinking.

A “left-brained” person is considered to be more logical, objective and analytical while a person who is “right-brained” is said to be more expressive, creative and intuitive.

Left Brain The left brain is the “reasoning” brain. It controls the conscious mind, logic and reasoning abilities. It processes information systematically (one by one) but slowly and in small quantity. ​ Right Brain ​On the other hand, the right brain is the “visualisation” brain. It controls the subconscious mind, imaging abilities and creativity. It has the powerful abilities to process massive amount of information quickly, and has great memory retention ability.

What is Right Brain Education?

Our current educational system leaves very little room for right brain development. This can be very challenging for most children.

They start school and immediately face lessons that are meant for enhancing left brain functions such as languages, speech, logic and reasoning.

Right brain training is aimed towards very young children in order to strengthen the important functions that are related to the right side of their brain which will greatly enhance their overall learning abilities.
