The discussion from part 1 of When Does Homeschool Really Begin? continues as Jan Bedell, the Little Giant Steps’ Brain Coach, leads you through the last stage of brain organization at the cortex level. The cortex is the thinking part of the brain and is where you interact most with your children. Be sure to listen to part 1 before continuing to this part as the foundation of brain organization is described there, setting the stage for part 2. Here in part 2 we delve into specifics of how to give input to those little infant, toddler and preschool brains so life and learning are made easier. When there are good connections in the brain creating strong pathways, you have the “infrastructure” for great functional ability for a lifetime!
In this episode, discover the three keys to effectively learn anything. In addition, you will be exposed to auditory processing (auditory short term memory) and how this auditory skill is essential for following directions, staying on task, making good decisions by understanding cause and effect and producing the foundational ability to use phonics in the child’s future. A low auditory processing ability causes the same symptoms that often make parents and professionals suspect and/or label children with ADD and ADHD. We encourage you to be proactive with your young child and avoid those types of learning challenges as well as reading struggles that are often on the dyslexia checklist. Make sure your little ones progress through all the developmental steps so you can avoid learning struggles and labels in their future.
