Is Motivation talks/camp effective?
-
My DD is attending AY's High Achiever sessions right now. :oops:
My child is very motivated to attend each session as the lessons are driven by personal and group motivation. The materials are typical memory aids techniques and depending on the child to put them to good use. Parents should pay attention to their child's progress.
The report given at mid term only mentions good things...this is very much the underlying principle for AY's MindEdge. Each child is hearing only good things about themselves.
Alan himself always demonstrate his sincerity. He is also always carry his trademark smile whenever he speaks...good impression given to me. He claims he is the top student in the university...no elaboration. :celebrate: AY is full of pride for being the master memory champion/trainer in Singapore...where? Top civil servants?
About his course, the certified trainers mostly are very young. I do have some opinions. These certified trainers; who certified them? AY himself? I do not bother asking now that my DD is already attending the lessons. :stupid: :moneyflies:
If you attend his free seminar, be prepared to face the offer of 'great' discount and paying close to $3K if you decide to sign up. My experience is the marketing techniques are pretty much similar to Midchamps after reading at separate posting. :moneyflies:
As for the results; i believe only time and continuous effort put in will tell. However, I appreciate any parents' input how the MindEdge Experience of 'Funtastic Parenting' has helped in developing their child(ren).

My dd’s sec school engage High Achievers for the year 1 class bonding programes (in school, after end of year exam, free), Student counsellor and support leaders programe (in school, we only pay a nominal fee). They have interesting programes and games to teach them about leadership, team work and bonding.

I thought that most camps and motivational talks were pretty effective. I learnt alot.

I personally dont think it is effective, my friends went for one of the camp
last year but the kids still didnt do well 4 PSLE . It's a waste of money & time. :moneyflies: :moneyflies: :moneyflies:

When I did my earlier posts on this topic, my nephew who went to Adam Khoo was only P5. But he is Sec 1 now. Apparently, the camp did nothing for him. He scraps through PSLE and made it to PSLE express stream. Now in Sec 1 in a hardly known school, he is still obsess with playing on the computers and it appeared that he is fond of using foul language as well, etc…
Definitely not a motivated individual. -
Any one here has gone thro’ 'Success for Life" course from MindChamps.
I am looking to send my Daughter currently in Sec 2 after Sec 2 exams & streaming is over … just a chance if it can improve O-level score -

How does MindChamp stand as of today... Have they strengthen their market share or Adam Khoo is doing better.
Is it still worth organization to put your teeen for good course -

Hi there are a few company organising motivation talks or camp for children. Wondering is it effective and does its motivation on kids last long? Does it worth the money ?
most are ineffective.
background of myself, im a Ngee Ann poly student, i joined this forum out of curiosity and found out that many parents do not know clearly what is happening in schools.
at least for my own past experience, programs from adamkhoo etc. (supposedly motivational talks) are ineffective. the program conductors spend more time making everyone laugh than inspiring students.
while receiving their \"jokes\" i had a feeling that they are not motivated into really doing their jobs (come and go attitude\")
well having said that, it is just from my own perspective, some may feel it enriching. -
My parents brought me recently to the Adam Khoo talk and I was quite impress with the right brain technique they use to "memorise". I wonder if it is so impressive as claim, why MOE did not train school teachers and we student will have an easier time. Imagine spending a week in their camp and being super achiever! Why need to memorise like crazy.
However my parents feel it might not work and further more it is pretty expensive.
To those who have been to the camp, care to share a little about this technique? -
MMM:
I sent my kids to Adam Khoo's prog too. They were only motivated for that moment. Nothing change or improve. I would say waste of money for us.When I did my earlier posts on this topic, my nephew who went to Adam Khoo was only P5. But he is Sec 1 now. Apparently, the camp did nothing for him. He scraps through PSLE and made it to PSLE express stream. Now in Sec 1 in a hardly known school, he is still obsess with playing on the computers and it appeared that he is fond of using foul language as well, etc...
