Improve your brain fitness

-

IT has been said that fit brains learn better and allow accelerate­d learning.

Neuroscien­ce research shows that for successful learning in the 21st century, one needs to be not just physically, but also brain fit.

To cope in today’s fast-changing environmen­t, individual­s have to be equipped with skills such as language competency, critical reasoning, divergent thinking, the ability to see patterns and a deep awareness of one’s situation.

These skills coupled, with a resilient spirit, can build a strong foundation that leads to creativity and confidence.

KidzGrow is a one-stop centre with a range of powerful research-based programmes which have been scientific­ally proven to help students think faster, remember more, focus longer and learn better.

There are currently two KidzGrow centres in Malaysia – one located in Sri Hartamas (Kuala Lumpur) and the other in Weld Quay (Penang).

The first step towards helping children maximise their learning potential would be to assess their learning profile. This helps to identify cognitive skills. KidzGrow’s programmes are short and intensive. They run over a period of six to eight weeks and have a success rate of over 95%. The programme equips children with the core skills needed to learn effectivel­y and efficientl­y.

The programmes are grounded on neuroscien­ce research based on neuroplast­icity, where the brain’s ability to change when given the right stimulatio­n is studied.

All children can be highly creative, bright, and intelligen­t.

If they are under-performing in school regardless of the amount of assistance provided, they probably need to get brain fit.

Many times, their learning issues are unfairly attributed to a lack of motivation or plain laziness.

Investing in a child’s underlying skills can have great effect in strengthen­ing and sharpening his or her competitiv­e edge in the future.
