Despite the fact that many children have gone through right brain education and benefitted from it, there is still a lot of skepticism surrounding right brain education. If you have hope in the possibility of what right brain education can achieve, then it is important to shed the skepticism and embrace the philosophy or it will not work for you or your child.
If you are wondering about the benefits to be derived from sending your child for right brain education, it might be worthwhile perusing some of the testimonials from parents, teachers, and the students themselves:
- Testimonials
- Excellent Results
- True Stories
- Instructor’s Comments
- Parent’s Testimony
- TG’s Testimonial from Quantum Speed Reading: Awakening Your Child’s Mind
You should also watch the Shichida video footage showing the amazing things that the children can do. After watching the video again recently, I recognised a certain lady in frame 5:59. Wearing her signature high bun with a scrunchy and looking years young is none other than Mrs Ruiko Henmi, Principal of Henmi Educational General Laboratory.
According to Yumiko Tobitani in her book “Quantum Speed Reading“, it is important to get rid of stereotypes. For many adults, we are so used to living our lives centered around the left brain that we believe this is the only way to live. Many are still unaware of the right brain’s amazing abilities. In order to tap into these potential abilities and use them, we have to break the mold of left-brain thinking. Doing so will enable us to move away from the world of language, theory and logic and into the world of imagery.
“Please do not judge the right-brain world with the left-brain yardstick of what can and cannot be done, or of guessing what is right or wrong.” – Yumiko Tobitani

Such a GREAT entry, Shen-Li.
Because I admire you so much for what you do for your buys! but I always thought “I am not too sure about ALL the amazing stuff right brain training is supposed to produce” (I must admit that one big obstacle is that I simply will find it very difficult to find ime to do more for my children apart from Doman for two kids, swimming, piano, gross motor skill and English classes) So I am very thankful that you put all this testimonials for me together to check. THANKS ISA
PD: One easy way of course would be to put my children in front of the 9 Tweedlewink DVDs that I have got, but unfortunately they find them boring and my 3-year old cannot sit through one session:-( Anybody else with that experience?
Shen-Li says
Thanks Isa. It was a privilege for me to listen to Mrs Henmi share her vast experience in right brain education. She has been doing this for years and has seen so many children develop wonderfully.
Yes, it sounds like you are already doing so much for your children! You are a very devoted mother indeed! Makoto Shichida said that the primary aim should be to develop the right brain while the children are young so you can capture their potential. Once they grow older and have developed their interests, you can explore other extra-curricular activities based on where their inclinations lie. For example, a child that exhibits a keen interest in music, you can add on music lessons. Because he has already been developing his right brain, he will be able to pick up music easily.
I spoke to Wennie about the children not really paying attention to the TweedleWink DVDs and she said it is okay to play it in the background while your children are doing something else. They will absorb it subconsciously as all children do. You can also do other right brain activities which don’t take long.
