Heguru Founders Were Here

The Heguru founders were here in Malaysia for 2 weeks in March. They came to give parenting talk and conducted a workshop for older children. And mainly to train up the teachers and upgrade their level. I attended the parenting talk. Personally I couldn't understand why I still had to pay RM150 for the talk considering classes were cancelled for that week with no replacement?

The talk was pretty enriching, although the founders could only speak Japanese, there was an English translator. When the talk started we were shown a video of a kid flipping books after books in a bookshop. We're told that she's wave reading, meaning she could finish reading a book in seconds just by flipping through. And that is the goal of right brain training. When a child can wave read, it means the child's right brain is fully developed.

Well, I could hear gasps around the room. Like other mommies, I couldn't help but to think if this is possible? One of the mommy asked Mrs Henmi what is the success rate in Japan. With no hesitation, she said 85%. As with more training, the right brain will open up more and more. When the right brain is developed, the child can perform wave reading. From young up to 12 years, we should focus on developing a lot of method. Above 12 years is to teach how to apply the method.

Before the talk ends, she showed us the '10 Rules of Right Brain Training':
1. Believe - understand information about Right Brain and believe in the child
2. Attend Lesson - open up the Right Brain and listen to lecture
3. Read story book
4. Stay next to student where RB is developed - Theory of talent formation site
5. Do fun and exciting thing - When a child is happy, the RB is open
6. Develope left brain without pushing hard - left brain required to strengthen right brain
7. Self Esteem is developed - do not scold for lack of ability, but for misbehaviour (should start at 2 yrs old), do not scold the child by mentioning name but scold the wrong behaviour
8. Need patience, suffering & worry - state of heart is required for growth, hard to develope RB if spoilt. I think it means we should not spoil our kids here. We should raise kids who are considerate and willing to share (should start 2-3 yrs old)
9. Fully absorb positive comments from parents, teachers and people around - encouragement will tell them to do better next time and have positive thinking, build high self esteem
10. Develope the Heart - RB strongly affected by the heart, hard to develope RB if heart is not good, so should stress on heart education
