Develop Your Child’s Genius
Brain
Speed
Would you like to train your child's brain to work much faster? Is it
possible? What is it good for?
I have noticed a long time ago, that my son sees and notices things much
faster. When we are out and about, he always notices a lot more details than
I do. When we are watching a movie, he will later mention details that I have
never noticed. After a recent movie that we have watched, he was able to
come up with little details and nuances that I haven't gotten at all. It
seems that his eyes see faster and his ears hear faster than mine. His brain
works faster too. Because of all this, he is also able to react faster, come
up with an answer faster, and solve a problems much faster than most
people.
If you'd like to train your child's brain to work faster, there are some activities that you can do with your child - in only a few
minutes a day, that will train their brain to work at lightning speed! Here
are a few of them:
1. Fast
pictures. Create some flash cards with pictures or words (depending on your
child's age and ability).
If your child
reads already, start with word cards. Choose words that make up a sentence. Make flash cards that contain
the words that you have chosen. Hold the cards in one hand, like a little
book, and flip through them, like you would flip the pages of a book, at high speed.
Have your child tell you what the sentence
is. Practice this several time, increasing the speed of flipping the pages.
When you feel that your child is ready - increase the speed, or increase the
complexity of the material you are working on.
Important:
Remember to make it fun and keep it a game. Make sure it's not a frustrating
experience! Reduce the speed if necessary and increase it only
gradually.
2. Speed
listening: Play some of your favorite music, recorded at 4 times faster
than normal. You can also do the same with speeches and talks. Play some
music at fast speed. When you play fast music to your child, you are
training his right brain to take over. Since the music is for the most part unrecognizable, the left brain
tends to get inactive, and lets the right brain take over during this
exercise. This is an excellent exercise for speed as well as right brain
training.
I have
prepared some fast music for you that you can download and use immediately. After downloading, you
can burn on a CD or play from your computer. Here are the links for you:

3. One of
the best activities for brain-speed is speed-chess. Teach your child to play
chess, and let him play with other children. Get him involved in
speed-chess. Speed-chess or Blitz (2 different categories) are a lot of fun,
in addition to great training. Your child will learn to see and analyze a
situation at high speed, make a decision and act at amazing speeds.
