Be Creative by Ilchi Lee
admin June 21st, 2009
Mr Ilchi Lee founder of Dahn Yoga writes some lines about subject in his book that most people find that they are short of “quality time” with their children as they struggle to balance the demands of career and home life. Children, too, have very heavily scheduled lives these days. This may lead to a kind of disconnect between family members. Since many of these exercises are meant to develop both greater self-awareness and sensitivity to the needs of others, use them to connect with your child in a whole new way. And remember, all of these activities are as good for your brain as they are for your child’s.
As you begin these lessons, it is important to remember that this is a non-traditional educational method. In the past, many educational curricula have focused on the development of specific academic skills, especially verbal and mathematical skills. Brain Education also seeks to develop skills, but many of these skills, such as emotional awareness, creativity, and cooperation, are not easy to measure or quantify in some way. For that reason, it is best to approach these lessons as guided play, rather than as compulsory homework. If your child really does not want to participate, please do not force him or her.
