Some parents raised their hands when they where asked, “Who said that drawing is not important for children?” Well, what is your answer? Did you plan to raise your hand as well?

Probably some of you will think the same and force our children to learn math and science instead of drawing or playing  music, but the truth is drawing and playing music is really important for children’s right brain stimulation.

To be clever, children MUST have a balance brain, not only left brain, but also right brain. Left brain fungtioned  to control the scientific, analitical, rational and logical thing such as reading, language, math, etc, while right brain fungtioned to control about everything related to art, flexibilty and creativity. If we stimulate left brain more than right brain, children will be less creative in problem solving thing, but if we stimulate right brain more than left brain, it will be difficult to put dicipline on them and they will be more flexible in everything. That’s why we have to stimulate both brain.

But since at school children are using their left brain more than their right brain, it is really important for parents to stimulate right brain at home, such as:

1. Try to use left hand to do something

2. Give time for them to draw and play music

3. Play memory puzzle to increase their picture memory ability

4. Use flash card to teach them memorizing new stuff

5. Play puzzle

6. Try to make art thing using pet bottle, papper, etc.

If we keep on doing that at home, our children’s brain capability will increase and they will be cleverer than ever.

Why don’t you share your experience?
