Right Brain Kids Art - How do I know whether my kid is ready to learn?

I came across this question from a few parents, majority are kids who

1. "back side got niddle" so called.... cannot sit still to do anythings... easily distracted.
2. short attention
3. super active child
4. insecure in classroom environment

Here's some tips and observation you may want to consider to do at home before you decide..
1. Interest area
-> some kids who as above 3 points mentioned, may able to pay longer attention when it comes to their interest area. If this is yes, your child is ready to learn, just need to share to the teacher that which are the interest area can help your child to learn

2. Adjust your own thinking
-> Perhaps this point is another consider area, because of the child behavior that over active, that the parent being long time "planted" the mind set that the child is over active that cannot sit still to learn anything, that is foever will never be ready to learn anything.

3. Patient, patient, patient
-> In my observation, the smartest child is always those active child, because their mind run very fast. I have a student Ker Ru, she is one of active child. Her mom, Peck Hiong is very patient mother. Ker Ru cannot sit on the chair to draw for long time, she attended mom's and tot in my class. What I did is work with mother to followup practise the class lesson at home. So, now on and off Peck Hiong will review to me that Ker Ru still can remember those lesson concept such as colour pencil technique, also done lots of recycle crafting at home.

4. Every active child parents are hardworking parents, never give up to make it a try
-> yes I very respect those parent who has active child, because the parents is very hardworking to find better way for the child in development and learning
-> You never try, never know, never learn and never grow / develop

5. find homely environment setup in those school
-> I believe not all the school are too much commercialised, there should have homely setup environment schools to make the child feel comfortable

6. every night before sleep heart to heart talk to the child
-> express your feeling to the child and encourage the child do the same. For example, if you want the child "sit still" to learn something for more than 30 mins, share your wish to the child, and share benefit to the child if the child can do so... let the child share to you what he / she feeling...


Hope this help!
