On a few other occasions, she also spoke what I was thinking in my mind, and I was very sure I did not say it out loud.


But I don't think that she really has the ability of telepathy lah. She is able to make logical deductions at a very young age, so she may be making intelligent guesses only

You and your daugther happens to have the same wavelength...

Sorry to say that I think all these right brain training classes are a bit over rated. There are a lot of methods and games that you can play with your kids to help them to develope their right brain. I really don’t believe that 2 hours a week will help. It is still up to the parents to work with the kids, so why spend so much money on it?

Being parents are like that lor. We tend to want to spend on our kids, if we can afford. Just like some people like to buy expensive things for their kids, like branded shoes, clothes, watches etc. Some of us will ask are those necessary? Shoes, can wear ok liao mah why spend so much on a branded one.

I guess, the key is not in the 2 hour per week. The key is, by spending the money, parents get to learn a systematic way of training their kids. There is a system of teaching and in the process, parents and kids are being \"forced\" to follow the system.

It's like sometimes I think why I pay so much money for a personal trainer at the gym? I can also train myself mah. But it really is very different lor.

Hi phankao,


mandalas are concentric diagrams.

One of the activities in Shichida method involves showing a child a mandala with colours for a few seconds. After that the child demonstrate her recall for the color on by coloring on a similar mandala without colors.

as said on the site, it helps trains photographic memory and visualization ability.

ok, so what we test is \"copying\" of colours. Great explanation.

ermmm it's like going to classes for anything lor...I can watch video and practice yoga and aerobics or figure out how to bake a cake on my own but going to classes helps motivates us to practice, gives us new ideas to use, allows us to compare what we do and what is done in class, get feedback, fill in gaps in our teaching and last but not least make sure there is at least sometime each week dedicated to practicing all the varied activities.

I know many parents who were extremely motivated and were able to consistently practice and play right brain games with their children on their own. I am one of those lazy ones who if I did not go to class will probably practice right brain games once a month...or less...
