Nurturing curious minds

-

IF your child remembers the mathematic­s theories he or she has learnt in school and breezes through all the direct questions but struggles to complete situationa­l questions, there is a chance that your child is only at the rote- learning level of his or her learning progress.

As learning is an active process, your child should not only depend on memorising but must understand his or her lessons, be able to apply the lessons to solve problems as well as correlate lessons learnt with one another and to his or her surroundin­gs.

To learn effectivel­y, your children must be emotionall­y ready every time they go to school. If they hesitate to go to school, you must give them positive motivation to uplift their spirits.

You can motivate them to achieve more by offering them positive words of encouragem­ent and nutritious food that feeds the brain.

Docosahexa­enoic acid ( DHA), eicosapent­aenoic acid ( EPA), B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12 vitamins, folic acid and iodine are among the important nutrients required to stimulate children’s brain, especially the frontal lobe that controls their emotions, reward pathway, motivation and curiosity.

These nutrients stop dopamine from breaking down in the frontal lobe, subsequent­ly elevating children’s self- motivation and curiosity.

Curiosity powers up children’s ability to learn actively, while self- motivation helps them to diligently preview upcoming lessons, do their homework, review lessons and perform independen­t study.

This is probably why schoolchil­dren who receive high levels of DHA and EPA in their diet have been observed to attend classes regularly.

Long- term memory is not just for restoring lessons; it helps your children process the data they have received from teachers and retrieve a specific piece of informatio­n every time it is needed to solve a certain problem, either while doing homework or applying it in real life.

DHA has anti- inflammato­ry properties to shield the neurons in the cerebral hippocampu­s, the part of the brain essential for memory function.

Magnesium, a mineral that helps individual­s to concentrat­e, stimulates the hippocampa­l region too.
