Right Brain Kids – Resources for Home Practice
In an earlier newsletter, we wrote about TweedleWink, a blended “Right Brain Education” program created by Right Brain Kids that incorporates the teachings practices of Glenn Doman, Makoto Shichida, Maria Montessori, Reggio, and HeartMath. If you are following this program at home, you will be able to add on to your activities with these additional resources compiled by Right Brain Kids as part of a home lesson plan. Even if you aren’t following the TweedleWink program, these lesson plans offer some great resources for any parent wanting to support their child’s learning at home.

Pamela Hickein and Wennie Sun (founders of Right Brain Kids and the TweedleWink enrichment centers) have a new video that talks about their early learning enrichment program. The purpose of TweedleWink is to help your child boost his/her intellectual AND creative potential by engaging in playful learning exercises in a loving atmosphere of joy and fun. In the following video, Wennie Sun and Pamela Hickein give some personal insight into what the TweedleWink program is, and what it can do for your child.
Wennie talks about how the TweedleWink program works in a live, personalized setting with their trained teachers, while Pamela talks about how her TweedleWink program developed from an inspiration she had during her first pregnancy, the Montessori roots of TweedleWink, some of the tools and techniques incorporated into the program, and why the right brain approach to learning can help build a harmonious “whole brain” foundation for accelerated intellectual development as well as healthy emotional expression. They also talk about how a good teacher (and the right parenting approach at home) is of utmost importance.
The basis of “genius” involves having a foundational knowledge of real-world concepts, and being able to drawn forth creative inspiration using that knowledge to meet new challenges and create new solutions, often in previously unimagined ways.
TweedleWink promotes the harmonious growth and development of both in a gentle atmosphere of loving care.

Recently, my BFF gave us two Safari Ltd Dinosaur TOOBS – Feathered Dinosaurs and Carnivorous Dinosaurs. Since the names of each dinosaur species was printed underneath the dinosaur, I was inspired to make name cards that the boys could use to play a matching game.
In TweedleWink, they had activities like this where they would show the children a series of flash cards then they would show the children miniature representations of the words on the flash cards and they would match the cards with the figures. I’ve always wanted to replicate this activity at home but didn’t know where I could get my own collection of miniature models. It turns out that Safari Ltd has a range of TOOBS covering variety of themes that are perfect for this activity
Alternatively, if you don’t want to use miniature models, you can always print the images and words separately for your child to match the words to the images. You can use the flash cards on our resource pages. Set your printer page settings to print 6 or 9 slides to a page. Cut them out, stick them onto a cardboard backing and your ready to play the game.
You can also use Little Reader flash cards. In Little Reader, select the settings to print to half page (word and picture together). Under printer settings, print two (or more) pages to a page to shrink the images and words further and to save paper. Cut them out, stick them onto a cardboard backing and you are ready to go.
If there’s a special topic your child enjoys, you can search google images to make your own.
