My child’s memory improved
Posted: June 2, 2008Just yesterday night, my kid told me that she loved the days when we were in Shanghai, having our tea party at our balconey with fireworks and cakes and drinks and even lanterns hanging around us. I was very surprised that she remember so much details. She is now 5 going to 6 years. The event that happened was about 1.5 years old. I love the part when she wanted to experience such again (now we are back home in singapore). However, I told her there is no Fireworks in the sky as Singapore government does not allow Fireworks in the sky unless special occasion ( National Day).
Just this morning during the Shichida class, the teacher did a 8 pieces animal picture 2 seconds memory game with them. She gets 5 out of 8 accurate in arranging all the pictures in the right sequences. It really blow my mind. I cannot even remember more than 3 pictures within the 2 sec.
Another game was played with 12 blocks arranged in assortment rows ( 1 block on the 3 position on the first row, 4 blocks on the second row, 4 blocks on the third row, 3 blocks at the last row on the right) Each block has a colour picture of a type of transport. There are plane, ship, bike, cars, train, fighter jet etc. It was also a 2 second memory game. The teacher show the pictures to all the children in the class for 2 seconds. Then she gave out the pictures to let the children place into each of the block. Average score of the children is 4 to 5 accurate. One of the kids got near 8 blocks accurate. I am just amazed.
The shichida method really helps my girl a lot. As parents are strongly encouraged to be with the child during the lesson to encourage them during each activity, I too learn to trained my right brain too. Of course home revision is equally important. I bought the Photographic Memory Basic Training Set and have been practising with her ( whenever she is in a good mood to do so.) Shichida Method does not advocate forcing your child to do the activities like a choa or a mandate homework. They advise parents and provide tips on how to create a peacful and quiet enviornment to promote learning. They too advise to stop all activities if child is frustrated, crying or sleeping.
Shichida method in teaching right brain memory improved really helped. My kid and myself do benefit out of this very much after 3 terms of attendence.
