Workshops

NAME OF PRESENTATON

SUMMARY

Identifying and correcting blocked learning gates

Friday

This is for your "puzzling child." A child may be a reluctant learner for several reasons. If you have a child who has to work too hard to learn, he is telling you that one or more of his Four Learning Gates are blocked. This workshop will help you identify which of the learning gates is blocked, and, more importantly, what you can do about it at home! It doesn't have to be so hard for your child! You will learn things you never heard of before in a homeschool workshop.  

Smart kids who hate to write

Friday

If you have a child who groans and fusses about writing, or still writes reversals, or spells a word correctly orally but leaves out letters when he writes, this workshop is for you! This child's math papers are so hard to read! These children are often thought of as sloppy, lazy, or unmotivated, when they really have a writing glitch. Learn a daily exercise you can do with your child to get the writing into his "automatic" brain hemisphere, and take the stress out of his writing system. This exercise is used throughout the United States by athletes!  

Teaching the right brain child: Part 1

Friday

Half of the population is right brain dominant, and half is left brain dominant. You may have a right brain learner in your midst. These wonderful children learn in a different manner than their left brain siblings. In this workshop you will learn how to identify the right brain child, and learn many simple teaching techniques, such as Right Brain Spelling (making the words to "stick instead of slip") and Right Brain Reading. Watch your children become good spellers and readers with very little effort!  

Teaching the right brain child: Part 2

Friday

Once you have identified your right brain learners, become an expert at training those children to use their superior "photographic memory" in many areas of learning. Teach your children the lifelong skill of studying for tests by taking a picture of the contents of a chapter. These memory techniques are commonly used by Cambridge University students to reduce studying time. Works for kids who hate math, too! Math facts and processes finally transfer into their long term memory!  

Biology of behavior and learning: Part 1

Saturday

Johnny is a constant motion machine. Tom cries in frustration over minor matters. Susie forgets what she has just learned. Children tend to "act how they feel." This fascinating workshop provides you with clues to your child's brain/body chemistry. It is easy to correct these imbalances at home and dramatically affect your child's learning day. The testimonies that we receive from parents across the United States who are using these simple remedies with their children are amazing!  

Biology of behavior and learning: Part 2

Saturday

Remember when your mom told you that "fish is brain food"? The brain is 60% FAT. For the brain "connections" to be made properly, proper fats are required. Dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADD, hyperactivity, and sensory processing problems may be conditions of essential fatty acid deficiency. Get the real skinny on fats! Learn how to help your child feel better, and thus act and learn better.
