These lines are copied from the world renowned Ilchi Lee’s book. He writes that as you begin these lessons, it is important to remember that this is a non-traditional educational method. In the past, many educational curricula have focused on the development of specific academic skills, especially verbal and mathematical skills. Brain Education also seeks to develop skills, but many of these skills, such as emotional awareness, creativity, and cooperation, are not easy to measure or quantify in some way. For that reason, it is best to approach these lessons as guided play, rather than as compulsory homework. If your child really does not want to participate, please do not force him or her.

As children become increasingly sedentary in today’s technological world,it becomes all the more important for them to make exercise a deliberate and regular part of their daily routine. Research has shown conclusively that movement is essential to a healthy brain since exercise creates the nerve connections needed for optimal brain function (see Lawrence). In addition, it helps to circulate oxygen and nutrients to the brain and stimulates the production of hormones that combat stress and depression.
