The backpacks are out, pencils are sharpened, and the back-to-school buzz is in the air! While this time of year is exciting, it can also feel a bit like jumping onto a moving train—especially for our right-brain thinkers and visual learners.

As parents and educators, one area we don’t always stop to consider is how our children’s unique learning style, especially right-brain thinking, impacts their friendships. Right-brain thinkers are intuitive, emotional, imaginative, and expressive. These children often see the world in pictures and patterns rather than words and numbers. They feel things deeply, pick up on emotional cues quickly, and may communicate in ways that are more symbolic than straightforward. So what does this mean for their friendships?

Instead, it’s about enriching their educational journey in profound ways. Sometimes, the impact of arts education on a person’s life trajectory is direct and significant. Take, for instance, the story of Cindy, as shared in an excerpt from my book, “Being Visual.”
I wanted to share with you an inspiring perspective I recently encountered in the pages of “Scattered Minds” by Dr. Gabor Maté. Dr. Maté paints a picture of ADHD as not just a disorder, but a different way of experiencing the world—one that is characterized by heightened creativity, intuition, and sensitivity to the environment, all traits of right-brain thinkers.
