7 Principles in Genius Learning
Buckminster Fuller mentioned that All children are born genius and we spend the first six years of their lives de-geniusing them. Below are the 7 Principles in GENIUS LEARNING that we can use to provide a right learning environment to unleash the genius in our child.
- Brain will have a maximum development in an environment that is RICH in multi-sensory STIMULATIONS and logical thinking challenges. In this kind of environment, more connections (synapses) will take place.
- The “size” of EXPECTATIONS is directly proportional to the “size” of EXPECTED RESULTS. In every learning process, the Brain always tries to find and create meaning out of it; in a conscious level or sub-conscious level. Hence, the RIGHT motivation will determine the RIGHT positive motivation that is personal to the child.
- A “safe” LEARNING ENVIRONMENT is an environment that gives high level of challenges with low level of threat. In this kind of environment, a child can have a maximum access of his Neo-Cortex so that he can reach his maximum thinking process. Hence, giving PRAISE when a child succeeds and ENCOURAGEMENT when a child is yet to achieve is a very important aspect of a child’s learning journey.
- In Brain development, it will need an IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK and VARIETY of OPTIONS for it to progress quickly.
- MUSIC is very helpful in learning process
- Firstly, music helps to “charge” the brain
- Secondly, music helps to relax the brain
- Lastly, music can be used to bring the learnt information into memory
- PHYSICAL and EMOTION conditions of a child are tightly linked and cannot be separated. To achieve a maximum learning, we must pay great attention to these two conditions.
- Despite the different functions of Right Brain and Left Brain, BOTH HEMISPHERES are needed to work together in processing an information.
Set a RIGHT environment for your child to learn!
