Ever noticed that Susan excels in math but struggles with art, while Caleb is a talented artist but finds math challenging? There's a simple and effective way to help both of them improve in areas they find difficult.
Research supports a powerful strategy called brain-based learning, which facilitates easy and efficient learning for children, parents, and teachers alike. This approach encourages the use of both sides of the brain, fostering all-around development.
For instance, Susan’s math skills may indicate a left-brain dominance, while Caleb’s artistic flair suggests a right-brain dominance. Whether it's reading, writing, math, or art, using both hemispheres of the brain is essential for success.
So how can you achieve this? It’s simple: engage in activities that involve crossing the midline of your body. Every time your right hand moves to your left side or vice versa, you're enhancing learning, thinking, and problem-solving skills. Welcome to brain-based learning!
This method is beneficial for kids and adults alike. Here are some practical tips to get started:
1. Give a Big Hug: Encourage full-body engagement.
2. Cross the Midline: Let kids invent movements that involve crossing their body’s midline.
3. Dance the Hula: Twirl a hula hoop or dance to lively music.
4. Join a Class: Sign up for a Brain Boosters TeleClass or a Brain Gym class online.
5. Do the Twist: Learn to twist like in the '50s and '60s, perhaps to some classic Chubby Checker tunes.
6. Rake Leaves Together: Rake to the side rather than straight ahead for a fun outdoor activity.
7. Play Board Games: Use your right hand to move pieces on the left side, and vice versa.
8. Switch Hands: Practice reaching with your non-dominant hand or try writing and drawing.
9. Try Yoga or Tai Chi: Many movements in these practices naturally cross the midline.
10. Jumping Jacks with a Twist: Cross your ankles and arms during jumping jacks. If challenging, try it in a pool.
This brain-based learning strategy is easy to integrate into everyday life. While TV might not activate your brain this way, these fun and engaging activities will get you and your kids moving and learning together.
