… you are at your wits end while teaching your kids.
…you believe that there must be a more creative way to teach.
…you are willing to invest a little more time to learn techniques to make learning fun for your kids.
…you truly believe that children are more intelligent than us.
It is easy for a child to ensure laser like focus while playing or when engaged in something of his/her interest. A child does not need to learn to concentrate and focus. He is a natural at it! The real problem statement is, therefore, not how to increase a child’s ability to concentrate. It is in fact how to revolutionize our teaching methodologies to match the energy and enthusiasm of a child.
Although i read other books written by Maneesh on the Mind maps techniques but this book is special as i am in phase of helping my children in academics and quite often we struggle. Isn't it?. The one thing that really matters and is highlighted in the book that children are creative in nature, they do imagine and associate the world things with their imagination and so on. And how imagination plus association leads to memory, focus is aptly described in book. Surely recommended for all parents, teachers and students.
A wonderful book for helping kids to learn, using the concept of mind maps extensively - right from teaching chapters to creative writing, holiday homework and exams!!
The author has explained the concept step by step easily, and has also detailed how and why these concepts will work in academic learning and make the kids fall in love with studying as well as absorbing the knowledge as such! Hats off to the thinking!!
Parents and teachers should understand these techniques and help the child to develop the skill and constantly engage them, as the author has given many exercises for it. Creative learning is the way!
Not only kids but even adults will find all this very useful to apply in their day to day life! Like the author says, Imagination + Association = Memory.
P.S. Also liked the beautiful quotes at the beginning of each chapter!
