Strategy #1 - Build up the fundamental skills of learning
Learning is actually made up of smaller skill sets. Components of learning. There are 16 of them in all. A weakness in one or more of these skills will hinder learning. A weakness in two or more of these components of learning is often diagnosed as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, or other common learning problems.
Working with educational therapists and experts from various fields she developed a program that strengthens all 16 of these skills. Once these more basic skills are mastered learning becomes easy. Even when the disability had previously seemed extreme.
The great thing is, With the right strategies, these components of learning are surprisingly easy to develop.
However when a child has been struggling they have typically lost self confidence and have very low self esteem. When that has happened it is necessary to incorporate:
Strategy #2 - Build up confidence
She has been lucky to have years of training in the confidence building field. Actually my knowledge of this comes from a many thousand year old tradition, Kung Fu. I'm a Kung Fu black belt and professional instructor. Running a kung fu school for so long has taught me what it takes to motivate. She has worked with hundreds of kids who had suffered from low self esteem and successfully helped them transform into smiling confident hard working kids.
Building self confidence is essential. When children become confident they are willing and able to take on and conquer new challenges. Without it they simply stagnate.
Children with learning problems have built up anxieties around learning. Destroying their confidence and self esteem. That's why confidence building can't be skipped if you want your child to succeed in school.
Strategy #3 - Integrate the body and mind
This is the magic part. The part that neuroscience is just figuring out why it works. For martial artists we've known for a long time. the body and mind are connected in more ways than we know.
Over a decade ago she found that kids who suffered from learning problems started doing better in school if they studied kung fu. The reason for this is that kung fu not only balances the brain but it also primes it for learning. This is because the cross lateral motions and learning to coordinate the body cause new nerons and new neural pathways to form. Scientists only recently discovered this. It's called neuroplasticity.
When you use techniques that stimulate neuroplasticity you prepare the brain for developing stronger learning capabilities. So if you do these exercises with the learning skills exercises you have an amazing combination. The first readies the brain for growth and the second takes advantage of that state.
When you do the mind body exercises together with the learning skill building exercises you turn the brain into a learning machine.
