The Importance Of Focusing On Right Brain Development And Education For Children

By


 “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” - Albert Einstein

Children are curious, emotional, and active little individuals. It’s an indication of all the wonderful brain growth that occurs daily. According to research, the brain may create new pathways and networks that boost cognitive ability and performance in various domains. 

Both hemispheres of the brain must cooperate for the brain to function correctly. Morning Glorie’s right brain development education and training uses sensory engagement, physical growth, and cognitive development to construct and enhance these connections. 

The Problem Of Rote Learning In Educational Institutions 

Rather than concentrating on tedious work and project books, right brain development prefers to create engaging activities. Active initiatives that need a hands-on approach are always appealing. Unfortunately, practically all present school curricula are left-brain focused, and they always emphasise on writing, reciting, reproducing, and rote learning. 

The difficulty with rote memory is that it does not involve comprehension of the content to be learned. When a young child recites the alphabet, song lyrics, or numbers, it may be an indication of their language and/or memory skills, but it does not mean the child understands what he is saying. 

Morning Glorie, like many other educational techniques, opposes rote learning in favour of sensorial learning, which involves linking actions to consequences and written symbols to the objects they represent. The right side of the brain is responsible for creative, social, visual, and intuitive abilities. 

Paints and markers are only one aspect of creativity. Encouragement of creative thinking in children offers several advantages for their healthy development and personal growth. The majority of today's educational curricula emphasise fact memorization, data, and repetition. On the other side, creative learning encourages children to experiment with new ideas, take chances, and utilise their creativity. Hypothetical questioning, abstract ideation, imaginative play, storytelling, and experimentation are all examples of creative learning strategies.

Encouraging Children How To Think And Not What To Think

Nowadays, most individuals are left-brain dominant, thinking rationally and ignoring the right brain. The right brain’s role and growth are frequently overlooked.

The first eight years of a child’s existence are critical for their future health and development. One of the critical causes is the rapid growth of the brain, which begins before birth and continues through early life. Despite the fact that the brain continues to develop and alter throughout adulthood, the first eight years can lay the groundwork for future learning, health, and life success.

Supporting healthy brain development requires nurturing and responsive care for the child’s body and mind. The problem with our formal education is that it primarily focuses on developing left-brain capabilities like logic and reasoning.

While the left brain is more concerned with outcomes or products, the right brain is more concerned with the process - it is the trip, not the destination, that matters. The right brain is in charge of empathy, intuition, imagination, and creativity. It is here that we wonder, dream, connect, and awaken. We reside in the space of no-time, in being completely present, thanks to the right brain. 

The systematic and logical reasoning of the left brain is used in maths calculations and science investigations. Right brain development, which is also essential to completely release a child’s potential, is limited. 

We feel that the most successful teachings are those that excite and develop the right brain in children. Consequently, we place a premium on the quality of our instructional activities and how our instructors present them most excitingly and effectively.

Early learning experts at Morning Glorie have designed the curriculum to focus on right brain development through fun-based activities which focus on creating engaging and interactive teaching strategies that make the development holistic. With Morning Glorie’s right brain development activities, your child will be able to: 

  • strengthen the link between the left and right hemispheres of the brain

  • develop their ability to learn quickly

  • assist in increasing productivity

  • boost their ability to learn

Invest in your child's holistic development with Morning Glorie’s enrichment programs.

Musings of a Pioneer: Playschool Learning for Toddlers (Part 2)

By
 …Till we were struck by a miniscule virus – the Covid 19. It is important for the child to continue to have the additional support in their most important brain development phase – the two to four-year-old age bracket – when the brain develops rapidly to almost 80 percent of a fully developed brain. It is important for the child to have external support to develop cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and motor skills. It is important for the toddler to be exposed to a peer group and caregivers other than parents, whom they could observe and imitate for holistic development to happen. It is important for the child to be in a more conducive environment at school where they could indulge in their favourite pastimes in a non-judgemental atmosphere. It is also important for the child to continue to have an environment where they can interact socially with their peer group. This environment is now being denied to the children of this age bracket of two to four years. Many young

Early Years Learning - Concrete vs Abstract

By
  "My child does not recognize certain alphabets" "My child tends to shy away whenever we have guests at home" "My child does not show interest in number recognition, but loves to mess around in sand" "My child loves to speak, but when I ask her to speak vocabulary with a particular alphabet, she goes silent" "My child understands shapes, but is unable to find them in his surroundings" Notice the difference in the implications of these statements - they represent some examples of the difference between what we call concrete vs abstract learning during the early years at Morning Glorie, play school in Gurgaon, and online homeschooling in India. All too often, we tend to focus on learning which can be measured, which is concrete. What we tend to forget is, every experience, new or repeated, is a learning - this is truer during the early years of life, though it is something to ponder on and incorporate in our own lives irrespective of age

Pushing Children Beyond Their Comfort Zone - Striking the Right Balance

By
My mother, who is also my partner at work (this may seem odd, but we do complement each other in our skillsets, this makes us a good team), takes some of the batches in our online homeschooling in India program. These are live and interactive sessions, where parent and child attend together and are part of small groups of children for guided learning sessions. She also handles communication with the parent body, something we have learned is a very crucial aspect - at times, it is our responsibility to give the right guidance to parents as much as addressing queries which they may have. So two instances happened in the last couple of months, where a concerned parent called us up to tell us that their child was only interested in some of the activities, which seemed more fun in nature, while they tended to either show disinterest, or run away from some of the other activities.  Their query to us had two dimensions -  1. Should the nature of activities be changed? 2. Were we pushing the c
